Fangs
Trey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know if I'm supposed to be here
I was right, the things I used to say
Were words I might want back
How you love is not determined by the things you lack
The way you live is not built upon the demons on your back
I remember, you were standing there, you were looking at me too
Oh
Who you are is not defined by all the love you get
You are not defined by all the things you used to feel
You bring out your fangs and I'll bring out the words I used to say
You dig up your bones, yeah you dig up your bones
Oh
You bring out your fangs and I'll bring out the words I used to say
You dig up your bones, you - dig up your bones
I remember, you were standing there with flowers in your hair
The lyrics of Trey's song "Fangs" explore the theme of self-identity and the confusion that may arise from it. The song begins with the singer admitting that he is no longer sure of who he is and questioning whether or not he belongs in his current situation. He then reflects on the things he used to say, realizing that they may not have been the best representation of who he truly is. The chorus of the song emphasizes that a person's character is not determined by their past or what they lack, but rather by their choices and actions.
The second verse of the song takes a slightly different approach, focusing on the idea that a person's identity is not defined by how much love they receive or the emotions that they experience. The singer then challenges the listener to bring out their true selves, regardless of what may be holding them back. The repetition of the phrase "you dig up your bones" emphasizes the idea of revealing the innermost parts of oneself, even if they may be buried deep.
The song comes to a close with a reflection on a past memory in which the listener is described as having flowers in their hair. Flowers are often associated with growth and change, which may suggest that the memory is a representation of the listener's journey towards self-discovery.
Overall, "Fangs" is a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of self-identity and encourages listeners to embrace their true selves.
