Sloth Hands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eat the revolver
Load the six gun
Pull the trigger and swallow it fucking whole
Breaking my teeth on lead-tipped opportunity
One for me and two for you
Is this all we can do
It's the only way and we've seen it time and time again
Just try to buy your way out of this chamber
Is this all we can do
Or is this just what we wanna do
The lyrics to Sloth Hands's song Revolver are powerful and evocative. The refrain "Bite the bullet, eat the revolver" is a violent metaphor for facing one's problems head-on rather than avoiding them. The idea of loading the six gun and pulling the trigger suggests a willingness to confront difficult situations, even if it comes at a great personal cost. The line "Breaking my teeth on lead-tipped opportunity" further underscores this idea, with the singer expressing frustration at the challenges presented by life's opportunities.
As the song goes on, the singer questions whether this is the only way for them to deal with their problems. The lines "One for me and two for you / Is this all we can do / Or is this just what we wanna do" suggest a desire for change or a need for something more fulfilling than a cycle of violence and self-destruction. Despite this, the song ends with a sense of inevitability and hopelessness. "It's the only way and we've seen it time and time again" implies that no matter how much they may wish for change, the singer doesn't see a way out.
Overall, Revolver is a powerful song about confronting one's demons and the struggle to find a way out of a cycle of violence and despair. The use of violent imagery and metaphors underscores the sense of desperation and hopelessness felt by the song's narrator.
