Uh Huh
Von Iva & Zooey Deschanel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
I wanna snap your neck and spit on you.
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
If I got a call and said you were dead
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
I'd shrug my shoulders and I say what-ev
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
Hey have we met before? Oh yeah I think we have
Because we only dated for four and a half years
No big deal, I've only witnessed you sitting on the couch
Watching Next in your undies,
But its cool that you act like you have no idea who I am.
I saw you a my records last night
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
You straighten your hair and had a henna tatto
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
I wanna shove your face just shove it.
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
My mother thinks you're in the closet
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
Its so weird because when we used to go out you never even liked the TJ wantons
And now we have to drive all the way to marvista or some stupid place and eat
Some stupid butter-nut squash ravioli or something because you took the last bag like some
immature little clown.
I saw you thursday at the arclect
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
I was on a date you ruined my night
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
I saw you shopping at the trader just
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
I see you everywhere it really blows.
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
Hey, did you ever meet my friend Ian?
He's a computer hacker.
He helped me erase your Myspace page,
And your band's Myspace page,
And your Facebook page.
Happy networking asshole.
So remember all the stuff you forgot
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
After you just bought.
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
I'd like to see the look on your greasy face.
You said, Who are you? Who are you?
And so for sixteen hundy on audi base?
He said, I know you. I know you.
Uh-huh.
The song "Uh Huh" by the duo Von Iva and Zooey Deschanel features lyrics that express frustration and anger towards a former partner who seems to have forgotten or denied the existence of their past relationship. The chorus of "Who are you? Who are you?" serves as a mocking echo of the dismissive response given by the partner whenever the singer tries to assert her significance or memories. The verses list various scenarios in which the partner has been disrespectful, thoughtless, or hurtful, further emphasizing the singer's indignation and desire for revenge. These situations include the partner's lack of concern over the hypothetical news of her death, his ungratefulness for the free meals she provided, his hypocritical dietary choices, and his presence at various public spaces she frequents.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the phenomenon of gaslighting in relationships, where one party manipulates or denies the reality of the other's experiences or emotions. The repetition of the question "Who are you?" implies a deliberate attempt to disorient and confuse the singer, as well as a refusal to acknowledge her identity and worth. The sarcastic tone and hyperbolic threats in the lyrics suggest a mixture of anger, hurt, and defiance on the part of the singer, who refuses to be ignored or belittled.
