Shoot Me Down
Resilience in Melody: Young Fathers' Plea Against the Shot
Lyrics
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby, don't shoot me down
The singer pleads not to be shot down.
Ooh baby, yes baby, don't baby, don't shoot me down
Repetition of the plea for safety, emphasizing urgency.
Ooh baby, yes baby, ooh baby, don't shoot me down
A plea mixed with reassurance, asking to avoid harm.
Ooh baby, yes baby, don't baby, don't shoot me down
Reiteration of the plea and urgency to avoid being shot down.
Lord I know every dog has its day, that's what they say
Recognizing that everyone has their moment of success or luck.
She placed a kiss upon my temple and blew them thoughts away
Someone comforts the singer, helping to dispel negative thoughts.
Bury me a body, serenade the song
Metaphorically asking for a symbolic burial and musical tribute.
We're having me a party, throw my ashes to the throng
Expressing a desire for a celebration before passing away.
Keep 'em dancing all night long
Wanting to keep people joyfully engaged for a prolonged period.
Oh baby, yes baby, please baby, don't shoot me down
Pleading again for safety, with a tone of desperation.
Oh baby, yes baby, oh baby, don't shoot me down
A mix of urgency and a plea for safety, repeating the request.
Oh baby, oh baby, please baby, don't shoot me down, down
Desperate plea for safety, fearing being shot down.
It goes around and around
Life's repetitive cycles or situations that never seem to end.
Like a dog chasing tail
Comparing life's repetition to a dog chasing its tail.
The danger I adore
Expressing an attraction to danger or risky situations.
You keep on missing me
Despite dangers, avoiding harm or threats.
They keep on missing me
Repeated emphasis on avoiding harm or threats.
They keep on missing me
-They keep on missing me
-The danger I adore
-They keep on missing me
-She placed a kiss upon my temple
A comforting gesture to dispel negative thoughts repeatedly mentioned.
They keep on missing me
-She placed a kiss upon my temple
-Missing me
-She placed a kiss upon my temple
-And blew them thoughts away
-And blew them thoughts away
Reiteration of dispelling negative thoughts.
And blew them thoughts aw-
