Overall Meaning

Shivaree's song "Oh, No" is a story about a man or woman who is experiencing conflicting emotions of love, desire, and destruction. The song starts with the singer confessing their love for someone with the repeated line "I think I love you," but immediately follows it with "Oh no." This suggests that the singer may be hesitant or scared of falling in love or is unsure if they should act on their feelings.

The second verse switches from love to desire with the repeated line "I think I want you." However, the following line "Oh no" suggests that the singer may want something inappropriate, dangerous, or possibly even illegal. The third verse takes a darker turn with the repeated line "I think I'll wreck you," followed by "I think I'll break you in two" and "I think I'll eat you alive." These lines suggest that the singer not only wants the person they love but desires to destroy or consume them in some way.

Overall, Shivaree's "Oh, No" tells a story about the dark side of love and desire, where the line between passion and destruction is blurred. The lyrics leave the listener wondering about the identity of the singer and the person they are addressing, leaving much to interpretation.
