Chop
Vundabar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know
You've got me all pinned down
I know
You've really worked me out

I will try to
Find a one to
Cut me up like you do

I lie
I do it all the time
I try
No wait or didn't I

I will try to




Find a one to
Cut me up like you do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vundabar's song Chop delve into the complex emotions of someone who feels trapped in a relationship. The first two lines suggest that the other person in the relationship has figured the singer out and has complete control over them. The singer then admits to lying and being unsure if they had tried to change. The final lines reveal the singer's desire to find someone else who can "cut me up like you do," indicating a deep, masochistic desire to remain controlled in their relationships.


The song is sonically upbeat and catchy, belying the darker themes of the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "I will try to, find a one to, cut me up like you do" implies a deep-seated desire to remain in toxic relationships, despite the emotional harm they may cause.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the complex emotions that can arise in toxic relationships, and how some people may feel trapped and unable to free themselves.
