I don't do you right

I don't do you right
stop, stop

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tangled Hair's song "Emergency" can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to describe a failing relationship or a moment of crisis between two people. The opening lines, "Here's what you do, spelt out for you, hours so dark," suggest that the singer is either instructing or being instructed on how to deal with a difficult situation. The repetition of "emergency, apparently" emphasizes the urgency of the matter, and the next line "I don't do you right" suggests that the singer might be at fault for the situation or not living up to expectations. The repeated phrase "stop, stop" could be a plea for the other person to stop blaming or criticizing them, or it could be an expression of frustration or despair.


Overall, the lyrics of "Emergency" convey a sense of confusion, anxiety, and helplessness, as the singer tries to navigate a difficult situation that seems to be spiraling out of control. The use of concise, straightforward language and repetitive structures adds to the song's emotional intensity and creates a hypnotic, almost trance-like effect.
