Stars and Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's comforting
So does cling to the wall
What is this sound?
It hurts my skin
It makes me frown
I need to lean down
I can't move too fast
Non stop giggle
Tears on shed
Woo hoo!
Stop!
My jaws are tight can't get up
My hair was attempted to eat me
I feel funny
Get me out of this frequency
Don't get me wrong
I can be
A little mischievous
You know
I need to lean down
I can't move too fast
Woo hoo!
What is this sound?
It's comforting
So does cling to the wall
What is this sound?
It hurts my skin
It makes me frown
I need to lean down
I can't move too fast
I'm spinning flat
Non stop giggle
Tears on shed
Woo hoo!
My jaws are tight can't get up
My hair was attempted to eat me
I feel funny, get me out of this frequency
Don't get me wrong
I can be
A little mischievous
You know
Don't get me wrong
I can be
A little mischievous
You know
I need to lean down
I can't move too fast
Woo hoo!
Don't get me wrong
I can be
A little mischievous
You know
Don't get me wrong
I can be
A little mischievous
You know
I need to lean down
I can't move too fast
Woo hoo!
The lyrics of Stars and Rabbit's song "Little Mischievous" convey a sense of curiosity and playfulness mixed with a touch of discomfort. The repeated question, "What is this sound?" reflects the singer's fascination with an unfamiliar noise. Despite finding the sound comforting, there is also a hint of unease as it hurts their skin and makes them frown. This conflicting response signifies the complexity of the situation they find themselves in.
The lyrics also allude to a physical sensation of being stuck or unable to move quickly. The imagery of "spinning flat" suggests a disorienting effect, while the line "I can't move too fast" indicates a restraint or hesitance. This lack of control is further emphasized by the mention of tight jaws and hair attempting to consume them. These physical sensations contribute to their feeling of being trapped or overwhelmed by the situation they are experiencing.
Amidst these sensations, the singer cannot help but find amusement. The mention of a "non-stop giggle" signifies a light-heartedness that persists despite the discomfort. However, this amusement is juxtaposed with tears shed, suggesting a mix of conflicting emotions. The use of the exclamation "Woo hoo!" further emphasizes the joyous and exuberant aspect of their response.
Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges their mischievous nature. They recognize that they can be playful and even a bit troublesome at times, but they do not want to be misunderstood. This self-awareness and desire for understanding from others is evident in the repeated refrain, "Don't get me wrong, I can be a little mischievous, you know." It showcases their need for acceptance and a deeper connection with those around them.
In conclusion, "Little Mischievous" explores the dynamic between curiosity, discomfort, playfulness, and the need for understanding. The lyrics depict a character who is simultaneously fascinated and unnerved by a sound, experiencing physical sensations of being trapped and disoriented, all while maintaining a mischievous and joyful spirit. The song highlights the complexity of human emotions and the desire for connection and acceptance amidst these conflicting experiences.
