I Can swing a Hammer
The Wet Secrets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can swing a hammer with the best of them
I know I can
I can swing a hammer with the best of them
I know I can
I can swing a hammer with the best of them
I know I can
I can swing a hammer with the best of them
I know I can
I can swing a hammer with the best of them
I know I can

I can swing a hammer
I can live forever
I can swing a hammer with the best of them

I can feel the weight of the line
I drew inside
I can feel the weight of the line
I'm picking sides
I can see the weight was a lie
It's keeping me up all night

Seven billion people, I'm just one of them
I know I am
We've got something better than the rest of them
I know we have
We've got something better
Lighter than a feather
I can swing a hammer with the best of them

It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
But it's mine

It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie

I can swing a hammer with the best of them
I know I can
I can swing a hammer with the best of them
I know I can
I can swing a hammer




I can live forever
I can swing a hammer with the best of them

Overall Meaning

The Wet Secrets's song "I Can Swing a Hammer" is a motivating song about self-belief and determination. The repeated line "I can swing a hammer with the best of them, I know I can" is a metaphor for the singer's ability to accomplish anything they set their mind to. The song starts with the confidence in the singer's assertion that they can indeed swing a hammer with the best of them. As the song progresses, there is a shift in the lyrics towards an introspective view of the singer's self-doubt, as they say "I can see the weight was a lie, it's keeping me up all night". This self-doubt, however, doesn't stop the singer from continuing to assert themselves, as they repeat the opening line throughout the song.


The song seems to be about someone who is struggling with the weight of their own expectations and limitations, but who refuses to stop moving forward. They recognize the weight that they carry, the lies they tell themselves, but they also understand that they are just one person among seven billion, and they are determined to keep pushing forward.


Overall, "I Can Swing a Hammer" is an inspirational song about perseverance and determination, reminding us that even in the face of self-doubt and negative thoughts, we have the power within us to keep moving forward.

Awesome live show. To anyone from Edmonton thinking of hitting the show on Canada day, last time I saw these guys live they were tons of fun. The show was a total ruckus and a lot of fun. Think I'm going this time too.
