Watch Out
Reckless Desires: Chris Cornell's 'Watch Out' Unleashes a Wild Ride
Lyrics
Hey hey
Expression of attention or warning
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She keep on going when the light turns red
Describing someone continuing despite a red light, possibly a metaphor for risky behavior
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
3 in the morning she ain't ever going to bed
Describing the person staying active at 3 AM
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She's going 90 in the residential zone
Describing fast driving in a residential area
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She's speeding while she put her make up on
Describing speeding while applying makeup, suggesting multitasking and recklessness
(N n now now)Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Repetition of the warning and encouragement to be cautious
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
-Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
-Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Continued repetition of the warning and encouragement
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
-Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She's driving crazy like the roads on fire
Describing aggressive and reckless driving as if the roads are on fire
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
Killing the motor and she's smoking up the tires
Describing harsh driving leading to smoking tires
Hey hey, watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She hit the corners with her foot on the floor
Describing sharp turns with full throttle
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She likes the lincoln with the sui-suicide doors
Expressing a preference for a specific car model with unique doors
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up [Repeat: x3]
Repetition of the warning and encouragement to be cautious
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
-Ooh, ooh pick it up ooh hey hey, ooh
Expressive sounds, no clear meaning
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She's in the mirror but she coming on quick
Describing someone approaching quickly while looking in the mirror
Watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She's gonna catch ya then she leave ya to the wind
Anticipating that the person will catch and leave others behind
Hey hey watch out!
Reiteration of the warning
She passing fools like they're going in reverse
Describing overtaking others like they are moving backward
She's gone insane I think her brakes don't work
Suggesting that the person is out of control, brakes not functioning
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up [Repeat: x3]
Repetition of the warning and encouragement to be cautious
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
-Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Reiteration of the warning
