I recently found out about this song through a danganronpa edit and it does not disappoint. Through its catchy chorus and interesting story, I couldn't help but share my thoughts about it. I feel like the message of this song is pretty clear but just to elaborate, I think this song is about two lovers in a hay loft possibly having sex while someone's father is outside of the barn with a gun, ready to kill both of them. This song is told through first and third person. In the first person part of the song, they use the word "my daddy" in the chorus. The part could be sung from someone witnessing this whole situation go down. They are saying their daddy's got a gun and ready to kill the two lovers. The third person part is when narrator is describing the scene and what the lovers are doing. I picture a vast and open field with a farm, someone in the Midwest. Two lovers sneak off into a barn, possibly to get warm. The situation escalates when they begin to have sex: "Young lovers and they are not sleeping" "Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots" What they do not realize is someone's dad has a gun. It could possibly be one of the lovers' dads or someone else's. The narrator desperately repeats the phrase, "My daddy's got a gun you better run." They try to warn the lovers the dad's coming but it's too late. The dad shoots both the lovers in the head in the hay loft. What I find interesting is that they repeat the chorus over and over again after the dad has already shot the lovers. Maybe he's about to kill another couple? Or maybe the narrator is warning the listener that the dad isn't to be messed with. |
