Man Pregnant
The Dumplings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see your face drenched in sweat,
Freedom in death is what you need,
How blue is this lovely cat,
Overnight you start to bleed,
Spit your soul and go
Spit your soul and go
Spit your soul and go
Spit your soul and go

When you feel pain
I'll take your brain
And run away
Don't want to stay
See your suffering
In this one thing
I hear your shout
Please take me out
When you feel pain
I'll take your brain
And run away
Don't want to stay
See your suffering
In this one thing
I hear your shout
Please take me out
When you feel pain
I'll take your brain
And run away
Don't want to stay
See your suffering
In this one thing
I hear your shout
Please take me out

Broken ribs in the morning
You can eat them for dinner
Sudden misery is coming
You will never be a winner
Spit your soul and go
Leave your roe and go
Spit your soul and go
Leave your roe and go

When you feel pain
I'll take your brain
And run away
Don't want to stay
See your suffering
In this one thing
I hear your shout
Please take me out

When you feel pain
I'll take your brain
And run away
Don't want to stay
See your suffering
In this one thing




I hear your shout
Please take me out

Overall Meaning

The Dumplings' song "Man Pregnant" is a haunting and mysterious track that seems to be exploring themes of pain, suffering, and escape. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone in agony, who is desperate to be freed from their suffering. The opening lines set the scene, with the singer seeing the other person's face "drenched in sweat" and feeling that they need "freedom in death." The reference to a blue cat adds an element of surrealism and mystery to the lyrics, with the cat possibly symbolizing something significant that is not fully explained.


The repeated refrain of "spit your soul and go" suggests a desire to be released from the physical body, to be free of the pain that comes with it. The lines about broken ribs and sudden misery create an atmosphere of violence and trauma, with the suggestion that the person will never be a winner. The chorus of the song seems to address the person in pain directly, promising to take their brain and run away to relieve them of their suffering.


Overall, "Man Pregnant" is a deeply emotional and enigmatic song that invites many different interpretations. It is unclear who the singer is or what their relationship to the person in pain might be. The lyrics suggest a desire for escape and release, but also hint at the possibility of hope and relief.
