SHAKE IT
The Tazers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen your eyes baby you're beautiful
And I'd be damned if I let you slip away
But I'm a genteman
Or a patient wolf
Just you wait
Until the moon is out
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
One bullet in a revolver
Give it a spin pull the trigger
I'm gonna let you fire away
Cos I'm a gentleman
Or a patient wolf
Just you wait
Until the moon is out
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
Shake that thing for me girl
Shake that thing for me
The Tazers's song "Shake It" is a high-energy rock anthem that speaks to the universal experience of being transfixed by someone on the dance floor. The first verse sets the scene with the singer mesmerized by the beauty of a mysterious girl, offering their soul to her for a chance to be with her. However, the lyrics then take a turn, revealing that the singer is both a gentleman and a patient wolf, hinting at a darker, more predatory side to his desire.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Shake that thing for me," emphasizing the singer's fixation on the girl's body and his desire to possess her. However, his desire is not one-sided, as he invites her to shake her body for him, placing them on equal footing in their mutual attraction. The second verse introduces a gun metaphor, with the singer offering the girl a chance to "fire away" and take a chance on him. Once again, the lyrics hint at a sense of danger and recklessness underlying the singer's desire.
Overall, "Shake It" is a catchy, high-energy rock song that captures the thrill and danger of being captivated by someone on the dance floor.
