Arctic Monkeys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have you been up to?
I heard that you fell in love or near enough
I gotta tell you the truth, yeah
I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
I get the feelin' I left it too late, but baby
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies havin' a sing
I'll be here waitin' ever so patiently
For you to snap out of it
Forever isn't for everyone
Is forever for you?
It sounds like settlin' down or givin' up
But it don't sound much like you, girl
I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
I get the feelin' I left it too late, but baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies havin' a sing
I'll be here waitin' ever so patiently
For you to snap out of it
(Under a spell you're hypnotized, ooh)
(Darlin', how could you be so blind?)
(Snap out of it)
Under a spell you're hypnotized (ooh)
Darlin', how could you be so blind?
I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
I get the feelin' I left it too late, but baby
Snap out of it (snap out of it)
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies havin' a sing
I'll be here waitin' ever so patiently
For you to snap out of it

Saia Dessa
O que está acontecendo no seu mundo?
O que você tem feito?
Ouvi dizer que você se apaixonou
Ou perto disso
Eu tenho que te dizer a verdade...
Quero agarrar ambos os seus ombros e sacudir, amor
Saia dessa (saia dessa)
Tenho a impressão de que saí muito tarde, mas, amor
Saia dessa (saia dessa)
Se o relógio não continuar a girar
Ou a senhora gorda desejar cantar
Eu estarei aqui esperando pacientemente você
Sair dessa (sair dessa)
Para sempre não é para todos
Para sempre é para você?
Soa como se acomodar ou desistir
Mas não soa muito como você, garota
Quero agarrar ambos os seus ombros e sacudir, amor
Saia dessa (saia dessa)
Tenho a impressão de que saí muito tarde, mas, amor
Saia dessa (saia dessa)
Se o relógio não continuar a girar
Ou a senhora gorda desejar cantar
Eu estarei aqui esperando pacientemente você
Sair dessa (sair dessa)
Sob um feitiço, você está hipnotizada (ooooh)
Querida, como você pôde ser tão cega? (saia dessa)
Sob um feitiço, você está hipnotizada (ooooh)
Querida, como você pôde ser tão cega?
Quero agarrar ambos os seus ombros e sacudir, amor
Saia dessa (saia dessa)
Tenho a impressão de que saí muito tarde, mas, amor
Saia dessa (saia dessa)
Se o relógio não continuar a girar
Ou a senhora gorda desejar cantar
Eu estarei aqui esperando pacientemente você
Sair dessa (sair dessa)

Yea, one of my teachers had this song as his ringtone. I never really found the whole hype on it.. until one of my friends made me listen to their songs. And now almost 4 years of being a fan of these guys.
