Lawncare
Women Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In between
the torn bedsheets
of rumor
and
suggestion

In between
Your face and mine
Small diagrams

I stop
for a tiny paper cup
Once for wine
And jaws that shut

Should've
washed teeth
we bored it out

Fall
from our breasts
on the dancefloor door

Would your stride
force my mind

Stationary bikes line the beach front
The digested animal




Hold your mother, dance through the kitchen
Two weeks and it's so cute

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Women's Song Lawncare paint a poetic picture of the complexities of human relationships. The opening lines suggest the ever-present nature of gossip and hearsay - the "torn bedsheets of rumor and suggestion" that lie in between the two people and their relationship. The subsequent lines refer to a moment where they are face-to-face, with "small diagrams" - perhaps implying an attempt by one or both parties to figure each other out.


The next verse is more cryptic, with the reference to a "tiny paper cup" being somewhat unclear in its meaning, as are the "jaws that shut". It's possible that this is symbolic of a moment of closure or finality, but the images are deliberately obscure. The lines "should've washed teeth / we bored it out" are intriguing, as they suggest some sort of missed opportunity, or perhaps a lack of care or attention that has led to a loss of feeling or connection. The final lines of the verse - "Fall from our breasts / on the dancefloor door / Would your stride / force my mind" - invite a variety of interpretations, though they could be interpreted as a reference to some sort of physical intimacy, and the possibility of that physicality leading to emotional upheaval.


The final verse of the song introduces a series of somewhat disjointed images - "stationary bikes line the beach front" - that are again open to individual interpretation. The final lines, "hold your mother, dance through the kitchen / two weeks and it's so cute" seem to suggest a moment of domestic contentment, albeit one that may be fleeting or temporary.


Overall, the lyrics of Women's Song Lawncare are rich in imagery and suggestion, painting a picture of human relationships that is at once enigmatic and deeply felt.


Line by Line Meaning

In between the torn bedsheets of rumor and suggestion
Amidst the spread of unverified claims and guesswork


In between Your face and mine Small diagrams
Our relationship can be described with insignificant details


I stop for a tiny paper cup Once for wine And jaws that shut
Trying to hide my secrets, while stopping once for courage


Should've washed teeth we bored it out
Should have cleaned ourselves, but we still went ahead


Fall from our breasts on the dance floor door
We are spilling our passion on the floor


Would your stride force my mind
Can your influence sway me?


Stationary bikes line the beach front
The landscape is decorated with motionless cycles by the shore


The digested animal
The consumed prey, now part of the body


Hold your mother, dance through the kitchen
Dancing together with your parent in the kitchen


Two weeks and it's so cute
After two weeks, the situation is pleasing
