Shoe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause my mama hate you
It wasn't till lately
It wouldn't have fazed me
Oh we're getting better
She's loving this weather
Hey yeah
I don't regret you
I just don't get you
The ugliest man in the world
Lights up a flame for a girl
But he doesn't know what to do
The most beautiful girl in the world
I love you but you torture me
Hammerhead he's so busy
For you I would leave it all
I love you but you're beautiful
Aaah
Relish the silence
After the violence
And now you're invited
She gets so excited
Yeah
I'd love you but you torture me
And Hammerhead he's so busy
For you i would leave it all
I love you but you're beautiful
Love you but you torture me
And Hammerhead he's so busy
And for you i would leave it all
I love you but you're beautiful
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah
I'd love you but you're beautiful
I'd love you but you're beautiful
I'd love you but you're beautiful
The lyrics of Shoe's song Hammerhead highlight a love-hate relationship between two people. The first verse suggests that "science won't save you," indicating that no amount of rationality or logic can solve the problems between them. Their conflict is personal, as the singer notes that "my mama hates you," emphasizing the intimacy of the relationship.
The chorus echoes the mixed emotions of the singer towards the object of their affection. While they claim to love the person, they admit that they torture them. This paradoxical feeling is repeated throughout the song as they sing, "I'd love you, but you torture me." The Hammerhead mentioned in the song is also a symbol of the singer's commitment to their partner. Despite being "so busy," they would still "leave it all" for the one they love.
The song's lyrics convey a sense of complexity and ambivalence in the relationship between the two people. There are elements of attraction and passion, yet these feelings are tempered by frustration and confusion. Ultimately, the song captures the tension and contradictions that can arise in a relationship.

on Girls and Their Bits
She's done bad things
Fucking hell
I could tell you more
She's telling you herself
She's so hot she burns the Sun
Take me to the Fire
Tie me to the bed
Keep your shoes on
Gasoline
Smiling on the floor
Don't know if it's clean
Lift the ceiling
Cut the call
If you don't want me,
I don't want you anymore
All the pain you have to take
Feel it on her lips tied into your brain
With the silence go the nerves
Lying on the floor
Could that be love?
Let me be loved
Should I believe her?
Could I be the one?
See her moving
Meet the light
Spinning round her hips
Think I wanna' die
Bust a move boy
Give your all
You don't have much to lose
God she's beautiful
To your stations
Nerves of steel
Calling me a man
It's not the way I feel
Hesitation
Where's the door?
Cuz she don't want me,
I just want you all the more
All the pain you have to take
Feel it on her lips
Slide into your face
With the silence go the nerves
Lying on the floor
And you wrote me out
Please just take me down
And there's so much doubt
And it burns
