The Need
Shylock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don′t really care - About your attitude

'Cause i love the way - The way I do

You hang around just like a clown on my
Back
You blow my mind to break my neck
Say, don′t you feel the need to leave me
All
Alone - It's just amazing
Say, don't you feel the need to leave me
All
Alone - It′s just amazing
Just amazing

Somehow you still don′t know - This
Ain't no
School
And I can′t believe - You like your busted
Rules

Look in the mirror - Tell me what you see
You're not the man you wanted to be

Say, don′t you feel the need to leave me
All
Alone - It's just amazing
Say, don′t you feel the need to leave me
All
Alone - It's just amazing
It's just amazing

Solo

You Hang around just like a clown on my
Back
You blow my mind to break my neck

D′, don′t you feel the need to leave me
All
Alone - It's just amazing
Say, don′t you feel the need to leave me
All
Alone - It's just amazing
It′s just
It's just amazing
It′s just amazing - It's just amazing
It's just amazing - It′s just amazing
It′s just amazing - It's just amazing
It′s just amazing - It's just amazing




It′s just amazing - It's just amazing
It′s just amazing - It's just amazing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Shylock's song, "The Need," seem to revolve around a toxic and perhaps abusive relationship. The singer starts off by saying that they don't care about their partner's negative attitude towards them, because they "love the way" they are. However, they quickly change their tune and accuse their partner of hanging around like a clown on their back, blowing their mind and breaking their neck.


The singer seems to be asking their partner to leave them alone, as they recognize that they are not good for each other. They state that their partner doesn't understand that this is not a school, and they can't believe their partner likes their busted rules. The singer then asks their partner to look in the mirror and tell them what they see, saying that they are not the person they wanted to be.


Overall, the lyrics seem to be about a relationship that is suffocating and damaging to the singer. They recognize that their partner is not good for them and want them to leave. The repeated phrase "It's just amazing" seems to be a sarcastic or bitter comment on the situation the singer finds themselves in - they can hardly believe how bad things have gotten.
