Daggers! Lyrics
[Chorus]
They shoot daggers from their eyes
At my pretty baby (At my pretty baby, at my pretty)
‘Cause she’s sweet as cherry pie
And they can’t have a slice (They can’t have a slice, not a bite)
They shoot daggers from their eyes (Daggers from their eyes)
At my angel baby (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
‘Cause she’s warmer than the summertime
And they can’t steal her light
No matter how they try
[Verse 1]
I hate the way that he treats you (Hate the way that he treats you)
Too dumb to know what he’s got (Too dumb to know what he’s got)
You’re just too loyal, too sweet
You lay yourself at his feet
And tell me all for what? (All for nothing much)
Well, you keep crying on the phone to me (You keep crying on the phone to me)
How can I tell you to leave
A hundred thousand times?
I wish you saw yourself the way I see you
Wish you could see yourself through my eyes (My eyes; La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
[Chorus]
They shoot daggers from their eyes
At my pretty baby (At my pretty baby, at my pretty)
‘Cause she’s sweet as cherry pie
And they can’t have a slice (They can’t have a slice, not a bite)
They shoot daggers from their eyes (Daggers from their eyes)
At my angel baby (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
‘Cause she’s warmer than the summertime
And they can’t steal her light
No matter how they try
[Verse 2]
Breaks my heart every time you cry (Ah-ah)
You cried an ocean at this point (Ah-ah)
Breaks my heart every time you cry (Ah-ah)
I’m just a message in a bottle (Ah-ah)
Wish you’d stop wasting all your life (Ah-ah)
You cried an ocean at this point (Ah-ah)
I’m just a message in a bottle (Ah-ah)
In the ocean of your tears (Ah-ah)
Daggers! Lyrics Meaning
[Chorus]
In this section, Kali Uchis highlights the harsh reactions of others toward her loved one, symbolized by “daggers” shot from their eyes. The “pretty baby” and “angel baby” are portrayed as almost untouchable in their purity and warmth, yet they are constantly targeted by envy. The metaphor of “daggers” suggests the cruel, malicious nature of these people’s feelings, while Kali’s refrain that “they can’t steal her light” emphasizes her belief in the resilience and radiance of the person she’s defending.
[Verse 1]
Here, Kali Uchis critiques the mistreatment of her loved one by a partner who is “too dumb to know what he’s got.” The verse highlights the frustration of seeing someone be too loyal to someone unworthy. Kali wishes her loved one could see themselves through her eyes, revealing a deep sense of empathy and love. The emotional connection in this verse is potent as she offers a glimpse into the agony of watching someone suffer while feeling helpless to change the situation.
[Chorus]
The second chorus reiterates the feelings from the first, reinforcing the central motif of jealousy and the pain caused by others’ attempts to diminish the person Kali cherishes. The repetition strengthens the song’s emotional impact, giving listeners a deeper connection to the struggles faced by the individual at the song’s core.
[Verse 2]
In this verse, Kali Uchis expresses the emotional toll of seeing her loved one cry, noting that they have cried “an ocean” at this point.
