Ruthie's knocking
Oh my god
Who's she talking to?
Not a clue
Now she's shouting
I'll be on the floor
You go get the door
Just had to make sure you knew
That's a jack-o-lantern moon
Don't look in the mirror
Or he'll look back at you
Ruthie take a shower
I smell like a flower
Your cats smell better than you do
Her cats are pretty cool
Where's he now?
He's on the floor
She flips off the window
And spits at the door
My advice is twice what he's worth
The moon'll get him first
Mark my words
The medicine chests are backwards
Don't be surprised
If you have flaming eyes
Tonight, tonight
Yeah tonight
Ruthie's eyes are bright
Ruthie's spine is taped with feathers
They're all mine
They grew
So you see them too.
Ruthie, yeah
Your brain she's fried
You should see my mind
Dance around
Play around
Fool around
Walk around
Run around
Jump around
Fool around
Be around
What is the meaning behind Ruthie's Knocking lyrics?
When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, Throwing Muses' 'Ruthie's Knocking' really enters into Ruthie's disordered and dreamy realm by means of very realistic description and stream-of-consciousness writing, which helps to express the feeling of confusion and intensity, with such similes as the 'jack-o-lantern moon' and 'flaming eyes' making the already mysterious atmosphere even more so. The content of Ruthie's knocking mostly points out happiness, festivities, adventures, liberty, and gatherings. Besides, the tune also underlined the roles of surrealism, chaos, and disorder as well as playing and being free. The words do present some mild language and imagery that might be confusing or even upsetting to very small children thus implying the need for parents’ supervision.
