Spinal Tap
Sims Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm stupid
You know I′ll let you cut me every time
Beautiful lips
The scalpel in my eye
Every time she smiles
My palpitation rots
And when she giggles
Calm down while it's slowin' it′s trickle
And I′ve been wishin'
Ever since her first incision to my vision
So I throw in a nickel
And I′m a runner gone
Three summers strong
Steady fuckin' up relationships (right)
Drummer in the car
Life in the other arm
I tried to explain
She said "Save it Sims."
Either one of us left
Either one of us fell in
Either way we left behind more skin
It was for the sound of the skid
I admit it′s for the sound of the scrape
To hear the sound flesh makes on concrete
I see over there lookin' over here
So why′n you come over here and
Stand on my spine
I know this dance is the same
Every time that scene's played in my mind but
Somehow that's fine
I gave her the pistol told her to shoot
Gave her the strings and taught her the blues
Gave her the keys and showed her the map
Ad still her shoes end up on my back
She said she needed more than four of them figures can help
Diggin′ in scalp
Like what does she mean by that?
Huh?
I give that suitable hug
I make that beautiful love
I stay even when it′s unusual tough
You know that cubicle shrug
Like, whatever
That old college try
While I dropped out (Get your life together)
I'm that unusable drug
I make that dutiful rug
That solid oak you chopped down
That note you crossed out
Tossed out but get up
And try, try again
While Cecil laughs and plays
The world′s smallest violin
I see over there lookin' over here
So why′n you come over here and
Stand on my spine
I know this dance is the same
Every time that scene's played in my mind but
Somehow that′s fine
It's like that he loves the pain
Loves the scrapes and the cuts
Hates Novocaine
You did it to yourself again boy
And that's why it really makes me smile
The song "Spinal Tap" by Sims explores the theme of a toxic and self-destructive relationship. In the first paragraph, the lyrics depict the singer's willingness to be manipulated and hurt by their partner. The phrase "You know I'm a sucker, You know I'm stupid" reveals the singer's awareness of their own vulnerability. They allow their partner to physically and emotionally harm them repeatedly, highlighting the power dynamics at play.
The mention of "Beautiful lips, The scalpel in my eye" symbolizes the enticing nature of the partner, even though their actions cause pain. The singer is captivated by their smile and laughter, even though it leads to the deterioration of their own well-being. The line "My palpitation rots" suggests that the excitement and thrill of being in the relationship has a negative impact on the singer's heart and emotional state.
The third paragraph delves into the singer's longing and obsession with their partner. They admit to being a "runner gone, Three summers strong" which implies they have been entangled in this destructive relationship for a significant amount of time. The reference to "fucking up relationships" implies that their actions and choices are ultimately detrimental to their own well-being and the relationships they enter into. The repetition of the line "Either one of us left, Either one of us fell in" conveys the cyclical nature of their encounters, where both parties are left wounded and damaged.
In the second paragraph, the lyrics shift focus to the impact of this toxic relationship on the singer's identity and sense of self. They feel observed and judged by others, as indicated by the line "I see over there lookin' over here, So why'n you come over here and Stand on my spine." Despite knowing that this relationship is repetitive and unhealthy, the singer acknowledges that they accept it as a familiar pattern. The line "I know this dance is the same, Every time that scene's played in my mind but Somehow that's fine" illustrates the resignation to their circumstances, suggesting a sense of complacency.
The final paragraph delves into the singer's perception of self-worth and their tendency to enable their partner's harmful behavior. They give their partner the tools to cause them harm metaphorically, such as "giving her the pistol, strings, and keys." The singer questions the intentions and motivations of their partner, as shown in the line "Like what does she mean by that? Huh?" This highlights their confusion and lack of understanding in the relationship.
The song concludes with the realization that despite the pain and damage caused by this toxic relationship, the singer finds some twisted satisfaction in the suffering. The line "It's like that he loves the pain, Loves the scrapes and the cuts, Hates Novocaine" portrays the singer's paradoxical enjoyment of the pain they endure. Ultimately, the song ends with the acknowledgement that the singer has brought this upon themselves, expressing a sort of sadistic pleasure in their own self-destruction.
Line by Line Meaning
You know I'm a sucker
I am easily manipulated or deceived
You know I'm stupid
I lack intelligence or common sense
You know I'll let you cut me every time
I will allow you to hurt me repeatedly
Beautiful lips
Attractive mouth
The scalpel in my eye
The sharp instrument damaging my perception
Every time she smiles
Whenever she expresses happiness
My palpitation rots
My heart's excitement decays
And when she giggles
And when she laughs playfully
You can feel the crimson in your veins
You can sense the intense emotions within you
Calm down while it's slowin' its trickle
Stay composed while the exhilaration subsides
And I've been wishin'
And I have been hoping
Ever since her first incision to my vision
Since she first harmed my perception
So I throw in a nickel
So I make a small contribution
And I'm a runner gone
And I am an escaping individual
Three summers strong
Enduring and persevering for three years
Steady fuckin' up relationships (right)
Consistently ruining romantic connections
Drummer in the car
Playing percussion while driving
Life in the other arm
Another aspect of existence
I tried to explain
I attempted to clarify
She said 'Save it Sims.'
She dismissed my explanations
Either one of us left
Either one of us departed
Either one of us fell in
Either one of us became emotionally invested
Either way we left behind more skin
Regardless, both of us experienced emotional vulnerability
It was for the sound of the skid
It was for the thrill of danger
I admit it's for the sound of the scrape
I confess it's for the excitement of pain
To hear the sound flesh makes on concrete
To listen to the noise of skin against pavement
I see over there lookin' over here
I observe someone watching me
So why'n you come over here and
So why don't you come closer and
Stand on my spine
Put pressure on my vulnerability
I know this dance is the same
I am aware that this pattern repeats
Every time that scene's played in my mind but
Whenever that memory resurfaces in my thoughts
Somehow that's fine
Somehow I am okay with it
I gave her the pistol told her to shoot
I provided her with a weapon and encouraged her to harm me
Gave her the strings and taught her the blues
I gave her control and taught her how to manipulate my emotions
Gave her the keys and showed her the map
I granted her access and guided her through my life
And still her shoes end up on my back
Yet, I still bear the burden of her actions
She said she needed more than four of them figures can help
She claimed she needed more than numbers can support
Diggin' in scalp
Delving into my mind
Like what does she mean by that? Huh?
Wondering about her intentions and motives
I give that suitable hug
I offer an appropriate embrace
I make that beautiful love
I create a stunning love
I stay even when it's unusual tough
I remain loyal even in difficult and uncommon circumstances
You know that cubicle shrug
You are familiar with that indifferent gesture
Like, whatever
Like, it doesn't matter
That old college try
That familiar attempt
While I dropped out (Get your life together)
While I failed (Improve your life)
I'm that unusable drug
I am a substance that cannot be beneficially used
I make that dutiful rug
I create a perfect covering
That solid oak you chopped down
That strong wooden material you destroyed
That note you crossed out
That message you rejected
Tossed out but get up
Discarded but continue
And try, try again
And attempt, attempt again
While Cecil laughs and plays
While I am mocked and disregarded
The world's smallest violin
Symbolizing my insignificant complaints
It's like that he loves the pain
It's as if he enjoys the suffering
Loves the scrapes and the cuts
Finds pleasure in the wounds and injuries
Hates Novocaine
Dislikes being numb
You did it to yourself again boy
You caused your own pain once more, boy
And that's why it really makes me smile
And that is why it genuinely amuses me
