The Moss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chillest one around
And if you live in Salt Lake City
You've probably seen her about
She's got a strange history with everyone
And I couldn't tell you if I'm the only one
She lights up my fuse on the cloudiest of days
To be tied down
Oh she's a chill, chill
She's got a pet name for me
"Ugly bitch"
Is what she calls me when she
Wants a kiss
But other than that I never really know what she's thinking
More mysterious than Sherlock Holmes
You don't want to let her go hanging around your mother
Unless you want mom to know what happens
When she gets you alone
She lights up my fuse on the cloudiest of days
And I don't know if I've got what it takes
To be tied down
Oh she's a chill girl
She lights up my fuse on the cloudiest of days
And I don't know if I've got what it takes
To be tied down
Oh she's a chill girl
The Moss's song Salt Lake City is a tribute to a woman in that city who is known as the chillest girl around. The lyrics describe her as having a strange history with everyone and being mysterious to the point where the singer couldn't even tell if he's the only one who feels drawn to her. Despite this, she lights up his fuse even on the cloudiest days, but he's unsure whether he has what it takes to be tied down. The woman has a pet name for the singer, "Ugly bitch," but it's unclear whether this is an insult or a term of endearment.
The lyrics are a snapshot of an infatuation with a woman who seems to be enigmatic and captivating to those around her. The fact that she has a strange history with everyone suggests that she might not be the easiest person to get close to or understand. The reference to Sherlock Holmes adds to the overall air of mystery surrounding her. The line about not letting her hang around one's mother indicates that there might be something potentially scandalous about her behavior.
