Michelle
Sir Chloe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look so nice, I've been so cold
You wanna be my special one
I cannot breathe, please just go home
Michelle, Michelle
You are a monster from hell
Michelle, Michelle
You know just how to be cruel
When you shake your hips that way
Paint your lips that way
Michelle, Michelle
You are a monster from hell
Michelle, Michelle
You are a monster from hell
Walk in the room, watching you smoke
I'm such a fool, take off your coat
You know just how to be cruel
When you shake your hips that way
I don't care what you say
Michelle, Michelle
You are a monster from hell
Michelle, Michelle
You are a monster from hell
The lyrics of Sir Chloe’s song Michelle speak about a toxic relationship that is characterized by emotional abuse. The singer of the song seems to be addressing someone, probably the eponymous Michelle, who she describes as a “monster from hell.” The lyrics suggest that whenever Michelle is around, the singer feels uncomfortable and ill at ease, to the point that she cannot breathe. It seems that the singer allows Michelle to stay in her life despite the negative impact she has on her. This could be because the singer is torn between the feelings of attraction and repulsion that Michelle elicits in her.
The lyrics also contain a sense of passive-aggressive behavior, with Michelle acting cruel to the singer even as she paints her lips and shakes her hips seductively. There is a sense of coercion in the relationship, with the singer feeling like a fool whenever she is near Michelle. The chorus repeats that Michelle is a monster, suggesting that she is beyond redemption, and indicating that the relationship may be stuck in a cycle of abuse that may be difficult to break.

This song to me relates to what its like to be in my abusive relationship. She cheated on me, and verbally abuses me yet i still love her. She pleads ignorance, she knows what she does is wrong but continues to do it.
ie. ‘you know just how to be cruel, when you shake your hips that way, i dont care what you say’ eluding to she may be kinda dancing in other people or whatever and she tries to defend it as ‘just dancing’ but she doesnt believe it in ‘i dont care what you say.’
but she cant help herself, ‘im such a fool, take off your coat’ you can see how she is manipulated and tries to plea with the abuser to just sit down. dont leave, etc.
although the singer knows she is abusive and probably doesnt give her as much affection she cant help but stay ‘you look so nice, ive been so cold’’

So she’s singing abt a woman that she’s in love with and it’s probably a toxic relationship so that’s why she says u know just how to be cruel when u shake your hips that way so she probably saying ur a monster from hell because it’s toxic and she can’t get away from her and it’s messing her head up
