The meaning of the lyrics of the song "My Gun" by the artist "Tove Lo"

Contents

In "My Gun", Tove Lo uses the metaphor of a weapon to describe her sexuality and power over men. The "gun" in this context symbolizes her attractiveness, her ability to captivate and "kill" with her charm. She seduces a man, inviting him to "play" with fire, knowing he won't be able to resist.

Phrases like "Take off your clothes," "Dance naked," "Last night, you were whoever you wanted to be, because of me" emphasize her dominant position. She controls the situation, and the man is merely a pawn in her game.

The chorus "You think I'm easy to get?" and "Baby, if you're gonna shoot me down, then do it gently" demonstrates that Tove Lo is aware of her power. She warns that she will not be an easy conquest and demands respect.

The imagery of space travel in the second verse is another metaphor, signifying the dizzying sensations and euphoria of being close to her. She promises an unforgettable experience, but at the same time reminds him of her power – "Here's my gun."

The repetition of the phrase "Here's my gun" throughout the song reinforces the main idea: Tove Lo is in control, and she decides when to pull the trigger.

[Verse 1:]

Heads turn, your body burn

Rip off your clothes for me

Make out, lash out

Keep dancing naked, feeling free

That's my gun

That's my gun

That's my gun

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

Last night, you were

Who you prefer, because of me

Wake up, messed up

But you're still happy as can be

[Pre-Chorus:]

That's my gun

That's my gun

That's my gun

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

[Chorus:]

Do you think I'm easy?

Oooh-oooh

Boy, if you're gonna shoot me down

Do it gently

I'm not easy

Oooh-oooh

But go ahead and touch me now

Do it gently

[Verse 2:]

You're fine, you're mine

I'm the mistake you wanna make

Hey-ho, let's go

It's one more chance you gotta take

That's my gun

That's my gun

That's my gun

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

I'm ace in space

And, oh, I know you want to fly

My tune, your moon

Jump on my cloud and we go high

[Pre-Chorus:]

That's my gun

That's my gun

That's my gun

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

Mmmm (mmm-mmm)

[Chorus:]

Do you think I'm easy?

Oooh-oooh

Boy, if you're gonna shoot me down

Do it gently

I'm not easy

Oooh-oooh

But go ahead and touch me now

Do it gently

[Post-Chorus:]

Do it gently-y-y

Gently-y-y

Gently-y-y-y-y-y-y

Gently-y-y

Gently-y-y

Gently-y-y-y-y-y-y

[Bridge:]

That's my gun.

[Chorus:]

Do you think I'm easy?

Oooh-oooh

Boy, if you're gonna shoot me down

Do it gently

I'm not easy

Oooh-oooh

But go ahead and touch me now

Do it gently

[Post-Chorus:]

Do it gently-y-y

Gently-y-y

Gently-y-y-y-y-y-y

Do it gently-y-y

Do it gently (for me)

Gently-y-y-y-y-y-y
