Rill Rill Lyrics

Cover art for Rill Rill lyrics by Sleigh Bells

I think this song is about plaing cards/gambling.

"Have a heart" (hearts on cards)

Keep thinking about every straight face (Poker face) Six sets straight (A straight in poker) ace (Ace card) Cut 'em in the bathroom (Cut cards)

You're here to win, friend (Win at what? Cards) Click, click settle up (settle up after losing)

Song Meaning

Maybe the "see you on the moon then" is about "shoot the moon" in Hearts?

I don't think it's about cards. I think it's about drugs and getting yourself into debt/trouble due to it, but I do think it's using poker terminolgy throughout the song. I think you're right about that. I also think 'the river flow, and you can never know' is a texas hold em reference :)

The chimes in the song remind me of a casino. Also, for a long time before considering the meaning I was trying to figure out what that crazy bass grumbling is in the song and concluded (I think) that it's fingers tapping nervously.
