The Killjoys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I know, I know.
But she's got a little pout and she's pretty
So I won't let go.
No I won't, get soaked
No I won't, get soaked
Yea I know, I know.
But she's got a little pout and she's pretty
So I won't let go.
No I won't, get soaked
No I won't, get soaked
(Instrumental)
(oooo) x4
She's got bedroom eyes and they're shifty
Yeah I know, I know.
But she's got a little pout and she's pretty
So I won't let go.
No I won't, get soaked
No I won't, get soaked
No I won't, get soaked
No I won't, get soaked
The Killjoys' song "Soaked" appears to be a love song about a woman with "bedroom eyes" and a "little pout." The singer admits that he knows she's "shifty" and "creepy," but he still finds her captivating and won't let go. The repeated refrain of "No I won't, get soaked" could be interpreted as the singer promising to keep his emotions guarded and not fall too deeply in love, as if being "soaked" would make him vulnerable and exposed.
However, the lyrics could also be interpreted in a darker way. The line about the woman's "creepy" American eyes could be a reference to the paranoia and fear surrounding the United States after 9/11, and the repeated refrain of "No I won't, get soaked" could be read as the singer's determination to keep his distance from any potential danger or harm.
Overall, the lyrics of "Soaked" are open to interpretation and could be about anything from a tumultuous love affair to a wider societal fear.
