| The Pretty Reckless – Why'd You Bring a Shotgun to the Party Lyrics | 10 years ago |

I think that both of the previous interpretations are neglecting to mention certain lyrics like: "Does it make you feel like a man?" "It's not the size, we understand" "You think you're gonna get with me? Your never gonna get with me! You're Never gonna dance with me!" These lyrics as well as others are referring to a frustrated man who feels like a loser because he's been rejected and made fun of by a girl he was attracted to. She refers to his (small) penis throughout the song saying, "Its not the size, we understand" "all in the way you using" I think this guy is having a mental breakdown because nothing in his life seems to be going right and she keeps berating him. Also, why would he "still keep fucking missing?" Either he's too drunk to aim, or crying (or both) because at this point she's made him look like a fool. He came in with something that typically gives someone complete control over a situation (a gun) and still felt like he wasn't able to do anything in the face of her insults. She takes every one of his problems and makes them feel insignificant saying "you think they fucking care?" "you think they'd fucking listen?" "does it make you feel like a man?" "Do you think they hear you now?" **also, i'd like to add that a stereotype about people who collect guns is that they are compensating for their lack of "manhood" if you know what i mean** |
