Indian Giver
Love's Betrayal: Lainey Wilson's Indian Giver Unveiled
Lyrics
Was a night in Pensacola
Setting the scene in Pensacola during the night
The moon was hanging high
Describing the high position of the moon
You said you'd reach right up
Expressing a promise to achieve the impossible
And pulled it right out of the sky
Illustrating an unrealistic promise or claim
I'm glad it came back
Relief that the impossible promise didn't come true
You said you had a future
Assurance of a planned future
Planned out like a map
Comparison of future plans to a mapped route
We find a little piece of heaven
Seeking a place of happiness regardless of location
No matter where we're at
Loss of the envisioned future
It's gone just like that
Emphasizing the sudden disappearance of plans
Indian giver, you give and you take
Characterizing someone as giving and taking back
Indian giver, took your love away
Labeling someone as an Indian giver, taking love and giving it elsewhere
And handed it to her
Pointing out the transfer of affection to another person
You indian giver
Reiteration of the label "Indian giver"
Might only take a moment
Highlighting the brief duration of an action
But you'll take your precious time
Emphasizing someone's slow or deliberate actions
To steal her innocence
Comparing the theft of innocence to a personal experience
The way you stole mine
Repetition emphasizing the similarity of experiences
The way you stole mine
-
Indian giver, you give and you take
Restating the characterization as an Indian giver
Indian giver, took your love away
Reiteration of taking love away and giving it to someone else
And handed it to her
Highlighting the transfer of affection to another person
You indian giver
Reiteration of the label "Indian giver"
Bet you got them lined up, like a train
Imagining multiple people lined up for attention or affection
You could sell the sun
Hyperbolic statement about the ability to sell even the sun
Even when it rains
Ability to achieve success even in difficult situations
You needn't take that away
Questioning the necessity of taking something away
Indian giver, you give and you take
Repetition of the characterization as an Indian giver
Indian giver, you give and you take
Reiteration of the giving and taking nature
Indian giver, you take your love away
Emphasizing the act of taking love away and giving it elsewhere
And handed it to her
Reiteration of the transfer of affection to another person
Yeah, you handed it to her
Highlighting the act of giving love to someone else
You indian giver
Reiteration of the label "Indian giver"
Indian giver
Repetition of the label "Indian giver"
