T.I.W.Y.G.
Savages Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is what you get when you mess with love

This is what you get when you mess with love
A morning in darkness
The eyes of a storm
Suffering, straight from the gods
No medicine, no, no drugs
This is what you get when you mess with love

We gave you life to see if you'd disobey
Not interested in what we have to say
You mess with love when you go out tonight
Doesn't matter who's wrong or right
All you want is that feeling again
When someone is camping in your head
Look right, look left, what a distress
I saw a no become a yes

This is what you get when you mess with love
I mess with love, I mess with love
I mess with love, you mess with love

Look for adventure
To be free, why not me?
Stay down, crawl down
Don't say you're innocent
Or you'll dry out like a raisin in the sun

'Cause
This is what you get when you mess with love

I mess with love, I mess with love




I mess with love, you mess with love
I mess with love, you mess with love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Savages' song T.I.W.Y.G. (This is What You Get) reflect on the consequences that follow when one messes with love. It talks about how love can sometimes have a dark side, which can leave a person feeling lost and empty. The opening line of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, suggesting that love is not something to be taken lightly.


The lines "A morning in darkness, The eyes of a storm" express the tumultuous emotions that come with a broken heart. The song goes on to blame the gods for the pain that one experiences when love goes wrong. It suggests that there is no medication or drug that can heal this emotional pain.


The chorus repeats the fact that this is what happens when you mess with love, and the song goes on to explore the consequences of disobeying the rules of love. The lyrics suggest that love can be addictive, and people often find themselves going back for more despite the pain it brings. The final lines of the song warn the listener not to take love for granted, or they'll dry out like a raisin in the sun.

Concert hier soir à Barbey… ça dégage la tête et les oreilles… ce que Bo Nigen en ouverture avait déjà bien entamé ! Gemma Thompson flamboyante, Jehnny Beth féline et bondissante, Ayse Hassan solide est hallucinante avec sa comparse Fay Milton. Énergie totale sans apprêt.
