Open Up
Sunset Sweatshop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I said, hey
Let's open up, it's fucking cold outside
And I said, hey
Crank up the heat, crank open up your heart
I need your bones
I need your body

I've been throwing stones at your window
As you're sleeping on your pillow
Minus twenty degrees outside
Ice cubes fucking with my heart
Please my love, would you come inside?
I need your bones
I need your body

And I said, hey
Let's open up, it's fucking cold outside
And I said, hey
Crank up the heat, crack open up your heart
I need your bones
I need your body
I need your heart

I've been bleeding, trying your back door
As the wind blew through the willow
Minus twenty degrees outside
Ice cubes fucking with my heart
Please my love, would you come inside?
I need your bones
I need your body

And I said, hey
Let's open up, it's fucking cold outside
And I said, hey
Crank up the heat, crack open up your heart
I need your bones




I need your body
I need your heart

Overall Meaning

The song "Open Up" by Sunset Sweatshop is a sentimental and heartfelt song about a plea for connection and warmth in a cold and distant world. The first verse begins with a plea to "open up" and allow someone into their heart, despite the harshness of the outside world. The singer throws stones at their lover's window, asking them to come inside and warm up. The desperation in the singer's voice is clear, as they beseech their lover to open up not only their home but also their heart.


The second verse continues in the same vein as the first, with the singer bleeding and trying to open the back door to their lover's heart. The imagery is powerful and brings to mind a sense of vulnerability and loneliness. The final chorus returns to the initial plea for warmth and opening up, with the repetition of the phrase "I need your bones, I need your body, I need your heart." This repetition emphasizes the importance of deep human connections and warmth in a world that can be cold and unforgiving.
