Guts
Spike Fuck Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the mother of the night
I'm the mother of the tide
At this moment
Oh please stay
Don't walk away

It's only the body that dies
And you know it's only because of the night-time
At this moment
Watch what you say
Just walk away

And when I walked out to the beach I was aching inside my guts
And when I held out my trembling hand
You just took it in yours and said "trust me"
And when the night is closing in I can almost taste your lust
Said "it's better to be facing up than to die by a thousand cuts"

And you know problems do arise
And we just go on leading our separate lives
Together forever?
At least that's what they say
Just walk away

And when I walked out to the beach I was aching inside my guts
And when I held out my trembling hand
You just took it in yours and said "trust me"
And when the night is closing in I can almost taste your lust
Said "it's better to be facing up than to die by a thousand cuts"

Oh baby! Tell me why
Can't I just fall asleep
I lie
I just lie here, thinking, thinking about it
I'll never, ever get over it
Or so I thought
I'll never, ever get over it
Just gimme some more time

Aw, just gimme some more time
(Just gimme some more time)
Aw, just gimme some more time
(Holy water in my eyes)
Holy water on my mind
(When chlorine gets in my eyes)
The chlorine it just makes me cry
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
It' just water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
It's only water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
It's just water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Guts" by Spike Fuck appear to be about a tumultuous relationship and the struggle to let go even though it may be for the best. The singer seems to be pleading for the other person to stay, but also acknowledge the reality of the situation. The line "it's only the body that dies" suggests that perhaps the relationship has run its course and is no longer fulfilling, but the singer doesn't want to face the reality of it. The theme of water is also prevalent throughout the song, which could represent the emotional turbulence that comes with letting go of someone you care about deeply.

The chorus seems to be about the conflicting emotions the singer is feeling - the desire to hold on to the relationship, but also recognizing that it's better to walk away before things get worse. "And when I walked out to the beach I was aching inside my guts" suggests that the singer is in pain and struggling to come to terms with the situation. However, the other person offers a glimmer of hope when they take the singer's hand and ask them to trust them.

Overall, "Guts" seems to be a powerful and emotionally raw song that explores the complexities of relationships and the struggle to let go. The use of water imagery adds an additional layer of depth to the lyrics, suggesting that the emotions at play are like the ebb and flow of the tide.

I'm the mother of the night
I represent the darkness and all that comes with it

I'm the mother of the tide
I'm the force behind the sea

At this moment
Right now, in the present

Oh please stay
Don't leave me, stay with me

Don't walk away
Please don't go away from me

It's only the body that dies
Death is only the end of our physical being

And you know it's only because of the night-time
Our fears are often brought to light in the dark

Watch what you say
Be careful of what you say to me

Just walk away
Leave me alone

And when I walked out to the beach I was aching inside my guts
I was in a lot of pain when I went to the beach

And when I held out my trembling hand
I was scared and nervous

You just took it in yours and said "trust me"
You gave me comfort and reassurance

And when the night is closing in I can almost taste your lust
I feel your desire for me as the night draws near

Said "it's better to be facing up than to die by a thousand cuts"
It's better to deal with things head-on instead of avoiding them and suffering slowly

And you know problems do arise
We can't avoid problems in our lives

And we just go on leading our separate lives
We continue on with our own individual lives

Together forever?
Is our love really forever?

At least that's what they say
That's what people say, but we don't know for sure

Oh baby! Tell me why
Please explain to me

Can't I just fall asleep
Why can't I just sleep and forget everything?

I just lie here, thinking, thinking about it
I can't stop thinking about it

I'll never, ever get over it
I'll never forget it

Or so I thought
But maybe there's still hope

Just gimme some more time
Just give me a little more time to figure things out

Holy water in my eyes
I feel like I need purification from my pain

When chlorine gets in my eyes
Even everyday things are causing me discomfort
