Palace
The Amazons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come out dancing with me tonight
Forget your coat cause it's not cold outside anymore
Come on baby
Come on darling show me what God made you for

But you love it when he makes you cry
And you love it when you argue all night
But you love it when he makes you cry
Don't you
Don't you

You and me and babe we're going out tonight
But all your friends say you could so much better than me
And I know they're right
But it don't matter cause we're a little too high too care

But you love it when he makes you cry
And you love it when you argue all night
But you love it when he makes you cry
Don't you
Don't you

But you love it when he makes you cry
And you love it when you argue all night
But you love it when he makes you cry
Don't you
Don't you

But don't you
Don't you

Overall Meaning

The Amazons' song "Palace" is a powerful and emotional rock anthem that explores the complicated dynamics of a passionate but tumultuous relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple who are deeply in love, but also prone to intense arguments and emotional outbursts. The song's central theme is the contradiction between the desire for love and the acceptance of pain, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the fact that they are drawn to a partner who makes them cry.


The opening lines of the song set the scene for a night of wild abandon, inviting the listener to join the singer in forgetting their troubles and letting loose. However, the tone soon darkens as the singer reveals their conflicted emotions about their partner. On the one hand, they feel an intense connection and devotion to them, as evidenced by the lines "Come on darling show me what God made you for". On the other hand, they are acutely aware of the pain and dissatisfaction that comes with the relationship, alluded to in lines like "But all your friends say you could so much better than me/And I know they're right".


The repeated refrain of "But you love it when he makes you cry/And you love it when you argue all night/But you love it when he makes you cry" drives home the central theme of the song, emphasizing the singer's acceptance of the intense emotions that come with their relationship. Ultimately, the song's ambiguous ending ("But don't you/Don't you") leaves the listener uncertain about whether the singer will continue to accept the pain of their relationship or whether they will finally break free and seek out a healthier love.

@Exilninja

The Spotify version that doesn't have the energetic guitar build up through the song is so much better IMO, just a voice and a piano, nothing else needed. :)
