Thutmose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Final warning, open up!
Open up!
(Open up, right now)
Coming in!
Move, move, move, move
Go, go
There they are, get on the ground!
(Get on the ground, put your hands up in the air)
Put your hands up
Get the fuck on the ground...
The lyrics of Thutmose's song "Swat" depict a dramatic scene of what seems to be a police raid or a SWAT operation. The hook consists of the repeated command "Open up!", which is directed at the NYPD, presumably with the intention of gaining access to a building or a room. The urgency of the situation is emphasized by the phrase "final warning", as the singer demands that the doors be opened immediately.
The ensuing verses describe the operation itself, with the vocal delivery becoming more urgent and intense. "Coming in!" is shouted repeatedly, indicating that the police are about to enter the premises. The repeated use of the word "move" suggests that the people inside the building are being forcefully escorted or ordered to move to a different location. The lyrics then switch to a police officer's perspective as they order the suspects to get on the ground and put their hands up. The use of profanity ("get the fuck on the ground") reinforces the tense and dangerous nature of the situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Swat" paint a vivid picture of a high-stakes police operation, with the urgency and danger of the situation being conveyed through the repeated commands and forceful delivery of the vocals.
