Shake Them Bones
Shake Them Bones: Life's Gamble and Dangerous Desires
Lyrics
Life used to be so easy
Reflecting on a past when life was easier.
You gave it all away
Having given away something valuable.
You've been learning the hard way
Experiencing difficulties and challenges in life.
That's the price to pay
Acknowledging the inevitable cost of mistakes or choices.
And in time, in time, in time
Emphasizing the passing of time as a recurring theme.
You'll do it all again
Suggesting a cyclical nature of repeating actions or decisions.
You found out the hard way
Learning from difficult experiences.
Playing those games
Engaging in risky behaviors or activities.
Winning was so easy
Highlighting the contrast between easy wins and inevitable losses.
Losing just the same
Stating that losing is as common as winning.
And in time, in time, in time
Reiterating the cyclical nature of repeating actions over time.
You'll do it all again
Emphasizing the likelihood of repeating past behaviors.
You and I been gambling
Describing a shared experience of taking risks and investing time.
Putting time on the line
Placing a value on time as a gamble.
You put it all on black
Taking a significant risk with uncertain outcomes.
Thinkin' I'd be back again
Assuming a return despite the risky choice.
And in time, in time, in time
Reiterating the repetitive nature of actions over time.
You'll do it all again
Suggesting the inevitability of repeating past actions.
Baby shake them bones
Using metaphorical language to express attraction.
Make me weak at the knees
Describing a physical and emotional response to attraction.
My heart is on fire
Expressing intense emotions and their impact.
And you're killing me
Indicating the powerful effect of the person on the speaker.
Baby shake them bones
Repeating the theme of physical and emotional vulnerability.
I'm weak at the knees
Reiterating the impact on the speaker's emotional state.
A taste of your lips
Describing the enjoyable sensation of a kiss.
You're dangerous
Warning about the potential dangers associated with the person.
Burning my heart
Continuing to describe the intense effect on the speaker.
I'm losing control
Expressing a lack of control over emotions.
My knuckles are white
Indicating physical tension and anxiety.
And I can't let go
Describing the difficulty of letting go of emotions or a situation.
And in time, in time, in time
Emphasizing the likelihood of repeating past actions over time.
You'll do it all again
Reiterating the cyclical nature of actions and decisions.
And in time, in time, in time
Highlighting the inevitability of repeating certain behaviors.
You'll do it all again
Repeating the assertion that the cycle will continue.
You'll do it all again
Emphasizing the repetition of actions in the future.
