Yellow Claw & Rochelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're wasting your time with your lies, so
You've been breaking me down, now it's enough,
‘Cause you would do it again and again, ohhh...
I hope that you'll be gone soon, I can't take no more, oh nooo!
I will never fall for your lies again!
Ohhh!
Ohhh!
You shot me right in the face with a shotgun!
You shot me right in the face with a shotgun!
You shot me right in the-
You shot me right in the-
You shot me right in the
Face with a shotgun!
Yellow motherfucking Claw!
Who the one telling all these stories?
I take it, it's really getting boring.
Who the one sharing all these love seats?
I'm the real deal, any girl believe me.
If I'm letting you down, I'm letting you out,
I'm wiping your dirt off my soul...
You're talking a lot, but you're pissing me off!
What you try to say doesn't matter no more!
I hope that you'll be gone soon, I can't take no more, oh nooo!
I will never fall for your lies again!
Ohhh!
I will never fall for your lies again!
Ohhh!
You shot me right in the face with a shotgun!
You shot me right in the face with a shotgun!
You shot me right in the-
You shot me right in the-
You shot me right in the
Face with a shotgun!
Face with a shotgun!
Face with a shotgun!
The lyrics to Yellow Claw & Rochelle's song "Shotgun" seem to be addressing a toxic relationship, where one person is attempting to manipulate and lie to the other, continuously bringing them down. The singer seems to have finally had enough, declaring that they won't fall for their partner's lies again and hoping that they will leave soon. The chorus contains the powerful metaphor of being shot by a shotgun in the face, which could be interpreted as being hurt deeply and irreparably by this person's actions. The anger and frustration of the singer is palpable in the lyrics, and the repetition of the chorus emphasizes the intensity of their feelings.
Overall, the song seems to be about standing up for oneself and refusing to let someone else continue to hurt and deceive you. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever had to deal with a toxic relationship and made the difficult decision to cut ties.
