Shot Down
Love's Rejection: The Heartbreak Symphony by The Sonics
Lyrics
Hey Little girl,
Addressing a young woman
What's the matter with you?
Inquiring about her well-being
Don't you like
Questioning her response to his actions
The things I do?
Asking if she dislikes his behavior
You're wearing a frown.
Noticing her displeasure
I've been shot down.
Expressing feeling rejected or defeated
Hey little girl,
Reiterating the conversation with the girl
I play a guitar.
Highlighting his ability to play the guitar
I even drive
Mentioning ownership of a new car
A brand new car.
Emphasizing success and stature
Big man in town,
Boasting about being a prominent figure
I've been shot down.
Feeling defeated despite success
I thought he was having fun,
Reflecting on a mistaken belief of enjoyment
Now see what you've done.
Blaming the girl for the current situation
Can't show my face in town
Unable to face people due to rejection
Cause I've been shot down.
Expressing the impact of rejection on reputation
Hey little girl,
Reiterating the need for the girl
I need you so.
Declaring dependence on the girl
If you want my love,
Offering love if reciprocated
Just let me know.
Requesting clarity on her feelings
Stop running around,
Asking the girl to stop avoiding him
I've been shot down!
Reiterating the feeling of being rejected
I've been shot down!
Emphasizing the impact of rejection
