Hook Line and Sinner
Texas in July Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw down the sheets
Engulfed in conflictions
Once again
The gold curtain
Is no longer
Considered a shelter (x2)
Move!
Roll out the red carpet
For what we call the mainstay (x2)
Bury yourself
In accomplishments
You kept them all from me
Expected, to lead the way
You take my dignity
(And the kingdom came)
Goodbye(x2)
Show your face (x2)
Goodbye.
The lyrics of the song Hook Line and Sinner by Texas in July are an anguished cry against betrayal and manipulation. The main theme appears to be the feeling of being used by someone close, someone who was supposed to be reliable and trustworthy but ended up being a liar and a cheater. The first stanza sets the tone, as the singer demands the other person to reveal themselves and face the consequences of their actions. The second stanza uses metaphors to describe the end of a relationship: the "gold curtain" that used to be a shade and a symbol of security is now useless, as the trust is broken beyond repair. The chorus reinforces the message, as the singer says goodbye to the deceiver and implies that they will no longer be a victim. The final stanza seems to imply that the betrayer was a mentor or a leader who failed to fulfill their duties and abused their power, and that the singer has decided to take control of their life and move on.

Show your face
Reveal yourself, be honest and transparent
Throw down the sheets
Let go of the facade and be yourself
Engulfed in conflictions
Overwhelmed with inner turmoil and struggles
Once again
Recurring, not for the first time
The gold curtain
A symbol of wealth and luxury
Is no longer
The status quo has changed
Considered a shelter (x2)
It no longer provides safety and security
Move!
Take action and make a change
Roll out the red carpet
Prepare for an important person or event
For what we call the mainstay (x2)
For the person or thing that is essential and dependable
Bury yourself
Immerse yourself in something completely
In accomplishments
In achievements and successes
You kept them all from me
You didn't share your achievements with me
Expected, to lead the way
The responsibility falls on you to guide and direct
You take my dignity
You diminish my self-respect and honor
(And the kingdom came)
And everything fell apart
Goodbye
Farewell, it's the end
Show your face (x2)
Reveal yourself, be honest and transparent
Goodbye.
Farewell, it's the end
