Sucker

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is where the new life should begin
Still after weeks, you toss and you turn in your sleep
And you know that whatever you do
Someone keeps looking for you
New life and a new view to save your soul
This is where you dig the hole
Looking for you
No one believes that it's true, what that fucker can do
Aw, you know what that sucker can do
Yeah, you know what that mother can do
Yeah, you know what that fucker can do
You know what that fucker can do
Aw, you know what that sucker can do
Aw, you know what that mother can do
Yes, you know what that fucker can do
The lyrics to "Sucker" by Angela McCluskey tell the story of someone who has moved to a new town to start a new life, but feels haunted and pursued by someone from their past. The lines "New town and a new home to save your skin" and "New life and a new view to save your soul" suggest that the singer has moved to escape something or start fresh. However, they are unable to shake the feeling that they are being followed and watched, even in their sleep. The repeated refrain, "No one believes that it's true, what that fucker can do," captures the sense of isolation and desperation that the singer feels, as if nobody understands the danger they are in.
The song hints at a backstory that is never fully explained, leaving the listener to imagine the details of the singer's past and the identity of the person who is after them. However, the lyrics convey a strong sense of fear and vulnerability, as well as a determination to fight back against their pursuer.
Overall, "Sucker" resonates with anyone who has ever felt trapped or threatened, and the haunting chorus captures the feeling that danger could be lurking around any corner.
