Percussion Gun
White Rabbits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A kiss on the cheek
It's been a while
So I'll just beg, borrow
And steal all your time
We'll call it dignified
Well now it all seems to be cut and dry
You're tired my love, I feel the same
Well, take it from me
What else could you do?
Ah where do you get off
And how can I get there, too?
All your time well call it dignify
Well, now it all seems to be cut and dry
So I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same, ah
You'll never come back
My god, can't you see that?
I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
The Lebanon won't speak my name
Well, everyone's saying rise and shine
It might not be true romance is fine
'Cause I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
The Lebanon won't speak my name
We're leaving this we're jumping ship
Ah, just give me a piece of mind 'cause I
feel like I'm losing it
The song "Percussion Gun" by White Rabbits opens with the singer greeting someone they have not seen in a while, seemingly with a kiss on the cheek. The rest of the lyrics suggest that the singer is looking to spend time with this person, willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen, implying that they are romantically interested. They mention that they feel the same way as the other person - perhaps exhausted or worn out - and that they know which way to run. This implies that they have a plan, but it's not entirely clear what that plan is or where they are running to.
The lyrics take on a slightly ominous tone towards the end, with the line "You'll never come back, my god, can't you see that?" suggesting that something is not quite right in the situation. The Lebanon not speaking the singer's name adds to this sense of unease. The final lines indicate that they may be leaving whatever situation they are in, but they want closure or reassurance before they do so.

Can we just loop the drums and play them forever? Better yet, we need 50 thousand drummers playing this cadence at once.
