Shotguns
Unveiling the Depths: Citizen Cope's 'Shotguns' Meaning
Lyrics
Stuck and fucking
Feeling trapped and frustrated
love of texas
Expressing a strong emotion, possibly related to a romantic relationship
and I can't even find me a college girl
Unable to connect with a college girl, suggesting difficulties in relationships
gone to visit my cousin
Visiting a cousin, indicating a break or escape from routine
over
Undefined transition or lapse of time
that little bit of time is all that motherfucker loves
Reflecting on a brief period of time that holds significance
hes getting nervous
Someone is becoming anxious or uneasy
cause i'm his window
The speaker is a source of concern or observation for someone else ("his window")
they buildin another prison yuh
Reference to the construction of a new prison, possibly commenting on societal issues
its got him thinkin
The new prison construction prompts contemplation
in a town he can't drink in
Being in a town where drinking is restricted or prohibited
just who they built it
Questioning the purpose or intention behind the construction of the new prison
them prisons for
Speculating on the target or purpose of the prisons
well accidents
Suggesting that accidents are inevitable
they happen with
Highlighting the unpredictability of accidents
shotguns sometimes
Specifically mentioning accidents involving shotguns
well accidents
Reiterating the inevitability of accidents
they happen with
Repeating the idea of accidents involving shotguns
shotguns sometimes
Continuing to emphasize the theme of unpredictability and accidents
