Cruel
Snakehips [FazMusic.Net] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cab radio screaming
Noise and tears
Death on the TV
And then there's you
It's fucked, it's crazy
I can't concentrate
Just see your eye and uhmm
Back where we left off
Watch you take your dress off
I've been by myself remembering you
Your body hurts me,
Loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness,
You stay so sweet

It's such a CRUEL world
Saving all my love for you, girl
It's such a CRUEL world
Maybe I'll find something good, girl

Some peeked at the party
All scraped and bruised
A dead eyed actress girl
And then there's you
Venus in Converse
You put a spell on me
And you're lockin' the bathroom door for us

Back where we left off
Watch you take your dress off
I've been by myself remembering you
Your body hurts me
Loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness,
You stay so sweet

It's such a CRUEL world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
It's such a CRUEL world
Maybe I'll find somethin' good, girl

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Just see your eye and
Back where we left off
Help you take your dress off
I've been by myself remembering you
Your body hurts me
Loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness you stay so sweet

It's such a CRUEL world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
It's such a CRUEL world

(Maybe I'll find somethin' good, girl)

It's her eyes in Hollywood




We ain't slept for days
Perfect disaster, me & you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Snakehips’ “Cruel” delve into the complexities of relationships amidst the chaos of the world around them. The first verse seems to highlight the overwhelming nature of the world: the “cab radio screaming,” “noise and tears,” “death on the TV.” All of this serves to emphasize the rollercoaster that life can be. Despite this and all of the craziness that surrounds us, the singer is still drawn to their partner. When they see their partner’s eyes, they are immediately taken back to a happier time and cannot help but be drawn in.


The second verse gives us a glimpse into a party scene where things are not all glitz and glamour. There are people “scraped and bruised,” a “dead-eyed actress girl” who clearly had to put on a front to seem okay. Yet, in the midst of all the chaos, the singer is still drawn to their partner - this time compared to Venus in Converse. The chorus underscores the theme of the lyrics; there is cruelty in this world, but the singer is holding out hope that they will find something good despite that.
