Lyrics Death Proof (Commentary) - Kate Nash

Track three is, "Death Proof"

And uhm, I mean the title is named after my favourite Tarantino movie
Uhm, and it's kind of an interesting story behind this song because, uhm
I knew that writing kind of lyrics like
"Burn, burn, burn my heart, burn my heart, baby"
"Take a piece, yeah, I don't need all of it"
Uhm, would definitely make people think about you know, heartache
And, uhm, that sort of metaphorical, uhm, romantic idea of, of the heart, uhm

And although it is kind of a comment on that, it's also very literal as well
Because I had, I had like a surgery on my heart when I was 17
Where I did actually have to have some of my heart lasered off
Uhm, it was like this procedure where they stuck tubes through me
And I could feel my heart being burnt off and it was all a very big deal at the time
Uhm, I'm fine now

But yeah, I wanted the song to have that kind of interesting, uhm
Mix of the literal and the metaphorical
And I also wanted it to sound like a Tarantino soundtrack so
You could tell it's a very surfy and stuff
