Swing It
Twee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere there′s my soul still lying in my way
I'm crying like a baby scolded
I took the glass and I feel old
The world that I trust is too little for us
I don′t care
Cause I feel that
I don't care
Cause the weekend's back
And I think I′ll deal with this mess while I sing
I can swing it
I can swing every day
And I can swing it
Everybody follow me follow me
I can swing it
I can swing every night
And I can swing it
Everybody follow me follow me
Monday, not a word will come out of my mouth
Tuesday, having dinner with an apple pie
Then Wednesday has lights in its hands
Thursday and Friday mad mad mad
Sunday comes along, I need to scream to carry on
I don′t care
Cause I feel that
All these fears are meant to be thrown in the air
I don't care
Cause weekend′s back
And I think I'll deal with this mess while I sing
I can swing it
I can swing every day
And I can swing it
Everybody follow me follow me
I can swing it
I can swing every night
And I can swing it
Everybody follow me follow me
The lyrics of "Swing It" by Twee paints the picture of a person who is struggling with the realities of life from Monday to Friday.

The lyrics suggest that the person can swing away their issues every day and night, inspiring others to join in on the fun.

Life can be hard, and sometimes it feels like we are stuck in a hamster wheel, running in circles without any real sense of direction. We all need something to look forward to, something that can help us break the monotony and rediscover the joy of living. For the person in the lyrics, this thing is swinging.
The phrase "swing it" appears in the song multiple times, and it can be interpreted in different ways.

Sunday, last hours of an evil day
It's the end of a bad day and I feel lost
Somewhere there's my soul still lying in my way

I took the glass and I feel old

The world isn't enough to support me and those around me
Monday, not a word will come out of my mouth
I'm dreading the coming week and feel silenced

Sunday comes along, I need to scream to carry on

The weekend offers an escape from my worries
And I think I'll deal with this mess while I sing

I can swing every day
I can tackle challenges on a daily basis
