Rattle My Bones
The Secret Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could get my hands on you
I want you and don't know why
But now I know I'd like to try
Am I never know your mind
How I'd love to keep you in line
I should smile and tell you no-o
Oh yeaaaaahhhhhhh
You rattle my bones
Shake my heart like a ten-pound stone
Sometimes wish I'd left you alone
Oh yeaaaaahhhhhhh
You're makin' me weep
Wake me up nights and I can't sleep
Are you gonna be the death of me?
I could show you who you are
And I could kiss you in the dark
I could take it way too far
But I could never win your heart
Oh yeaaaaahhhhhhh
You rattle my bones
Take my heart like a ten-pound stone
Sometimes wish I'd left you alone
Oh yeaaaaahhhhhhh
You're makin' me weep
Wake me up nights and I can't sleep
Are you gonna be the death of me?
There's no telling what I'd do
If I could get my hands on you
I want you and don't know why
But now I know I'd like to try
Oh yeaaaaahhhhhhh
You rattle my bones
Shake my heart like a ten-pound stone
Sometimes wish I'd left you alone
Oh yeaaaaahhhhhhh
You're makin' me weep
Wake me up nights and I can't sleep
Are you gonna be the death of me?
The Secret Sisters' "Rattle My Bones" is a song about conflicting emotions and desires. The singer is clearly taken with the person she is singing to, but she is also uncertain and apprehensive about what she wants. She knows that she shouldn't pursue this person, but she also can't help herself. It is as if the very thought of this person is causing a physical reaction in her, shaking her bones and heart like a heavy weight. She is torn between wanting to keep this person in line and wanting to see them go. The lyrics are emotional and evocative, with the repetition of the chorus emphasizing the intense feelings the singer is experiencing.
One possible interpretation of this song is that it is about the fear and exhilaration of love. The singer is physically and emotionally affected by the object of her affections, but she is also afraid of what might happen if she acts on her desires. The repetition of the chorus could be seen as a kind of mantra that the singer is using to remind herself of her feelings, or it could reflect the obsessive quality of her thoughts. Overall, the message of the song seems to be that love is powerful and unpredictable, and it can be difficult to know whether embracing it will bring joy or destruction.

There's no telling what I'd do
I am capable of anything if I had the chance to be with you
If I could get my hands on you
If I could be with you physically, I would do anything for that chance
I want you and don't know why
I have a strong desire for you but I don't understand why
But now I know I'd like to try
I've realized that I want to give it a shot and see what could happen between us
Am I never know your mind
I feel like I will never truly understand what goes on in your mind
How I'd love to keep you in line
I would like to have control over you and your actions
I should smile and tell you no-o
I know I should reject you and say no, but it's hard for me to do so
But how I'd hate to see you go
I don't want to lose you, even if I know it might be for the best
You rattle my bones
You shake me to my core, in a way that I've never experienced before
Shake my heart like a ten-pound stone
You have a strong impact on my emotions, causing my heart to feel heavy
Sometimes wish I'd left you alone
I have moments where I regret ever getting involved with you
You're makin' me weep
You're causing me to cry, whether it be tears of joy or sadness
Wake me up nights and I can't sleep
You're constantly on my mind, making it difficult to sleep at night
Are you gonna be the death of me?
I'm worried that this obsession with you could ultimately be my downfall
I could show you who you are
I believe that I have the power to reveal your true self to you
And I could kiss you in the dark
I have the desire to be intimate with you, even if it's in secret
I could take it way too far
I know that I have a tendency to go too far with my emotions and actions
But I could never win your heart
Despite my efforts, I don't think I can ever truly capture your heart and love
