Mother Mother - Little Pistol Lyrics






Up on my side, where it is felt
I pack a little pistol on my pistol belt
I think it might be fear
Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid

Under the skin, against the skull
They put a little chip so that they know it all
I think I might be scared
Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid
And how it gets in the way

And now I want brimstone in my garden
I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me
And I, I think I know just what that means
Just what that means

Today I coo, today I caw
I have a pistol party and I kill ‘em all
I think I might be scared
Of the man and the men with their hands inside
And the women, oh, the women all they do is cry
And I, well I lose my mind

And now I found brimstone in my garden
I found roses set on fire
And I found Jesus, what a liar
So I trade licks with Muddy Waters

And I, well I found what’s best for me
And now I see no tragedy
And I, I found a burning rose
And now I won’t be packing little pistols
No, no, no more

  1. D.... G....

    this makes me think of steel ball run idk why

  2. e.... p....

    Im really inlove with Mother Mother, from the way they produce their music to their compelling lyrics. I think i found the kind of music i dig into. Is there a band similar to Mother Mother? Would love to know!

  3. J.... L....

    Anyone know any songs like the part at 2:48?

  4. J.... ....

    2:49 💕💕💕

  5. M.... O....

    For myself: 2:44

  6. t.... ....

    I sang this song for my family and they loved it- It was for Karaoke- my mom kept forcing me to sing, so i chose this- everyone said it was really dark, but i sounded awrsome-

  7. S.... L....

    3:00 - 3:35 gives me chills everytime

  8. C.... s....

    How do people think this is a women singing this? What is wrong with your ears?

  9. B.... B....

    All the daddy daddy comments. :(

  10. Q.... o....

    To me it sounds like the songs is about someone who grew up in a cult like branch of Christianity. So they're scared of everything, since it could be a sin. Leading them to be suicidal over this impossible standard they're being held to. And eventually they realize that what's best for them is to reject everything they've been told.

  11. H.... L....

    I found this band by accident. Now I'm addicted

  12. C.... ....

    This still reminds me of Alex Kraile from Marble Hornets. I have no idea why and most likely spelt his name wrong.

    Every one reading this: Funny, but what an overused joke

  17. L.... B....

    Up on my side, where it is felt
    I pack a little pistol on my pistol belt
    I think it might be fear
    Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid

    Under the skin, against the skull
    They put a little chip so that they know it all
    I think I might be scared
    Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid
    And how it gets in the way

    And now I want brimstone in my garden

    No, no, no more

  18. L.... ....

    Who’s from TikTok?

  19. _.... ....

    This fits my delusions so well... I have a fear that everyone knows what I'm thinking, so I try to keep my thoughts simple and average. It's pointless, since I have a dark mind that only increases my anxiety. Mother Mother knows how I think, but for once it's all okay with me. ^^

  20. I.... q....

    Hai mommy mommy ;D


    Okay yeah im done-

  21. N.... K....

  22. T.... O....

    the moment I found out that its not a woman that sings this song is the moment my brain officially broke

  23. D.... ....

    I thought this woulf be a song about a guy with a small dick and he called it his "little pistol"

  24. c.... ....

    Is that asparagus?

  25. a.... ....

    Literally every part of this song speaks to me..I’ve never felt more connected with a song.

  26. H.... Y....

    Me too 💞

  29. T.... ....

    I like this song

  30. R.... ....

    this was the song that introduced me to mother mother. i love a ton of their songs and have listened to every single one of them but this still remains my favorite. i wish that i could find a song similar to this one or that they had followed this path for more songs because its one of my favorites in general even outside of mother mother

  31. R.... F....

    I thought there were was asparagus on the cover

  32. H.... ....

    my (shitty) take on this is it's about somebody with paranoia or anxiety that self-harms or does something self-destructive, symbolizing the pistols. the lines "today i coo, today i caw, i have a pistol party and i kill them all" is kinda what gave me that idea. to get rid of their stress from the world and their paranoia, they self-harm.
    and in the chorus, they talk about wanting brimstone in their garden and roses on fire. fire and brimstone in the bible symbolize god's wrath, so the person could also feel like they deserve or are getting the wrath of god. also because of the line "i found jesus, what a liar"
    and according to the internet, a burning rose can symbolize either strong, negative feelings or passionate love. so this person could at first have the burning roses as their negative feelings, but later learn to love around the end of the song, since the last couple lines say "i see no tragedy, i found a burning rose, and now i wont be packing little pistols no more". thats my take on it at least

  33. r.... r....

    I feel like the song is about someone who got called crazy for there theories and then after he found out its all true he went insane something like that

  34. b.... t....

    I think if someone asked me what type of music I like I'd say mother mother.

  37. N.... R....

    Honestly, this just makes me think of a school shooter, that MIGHT be female? But they don't have to be

  38. B.... ....

    gives off tiny Melanie Martinez vibes

  39. B.... G....

    what do you mean those are sticks and not pieces of asparagus

  40. A.... C....

    When I listen to this I like to imagine a frail married women in the cowboy era she has a lover and kids and there just playing around and she looks out side to look at her rose garden only to see it ablaze she looks at her family but befor she can even take in a breath a bunch of bandits bust in asking for her lover when she didn’t say they took her kids killed them then they found her lover and killed them to and she just sits in horror as her love ones die in front of her the leader of the dandies walk forward his steps are loud she looks up and sees his face and notice that one of his eye are fake mad with brim stone he looks down at her emptied out a pistol and puts it at her feet and said “I’ll be waiting”. And walks out. Now a couple year later we see her riding a horse with a pistol on her belt riding like the wind we see her stop in front of a bar then we see a flaming rose get thrown in everyone in the bar look at it in confusion... silent THEN SHE BUST IN GUN A-BLAZING SHOOTING AT ANYONE THAT SHOOTS AT HER. And everyone is dead except for a man with a brimstone eye she shoot him in the head and takes his eye she turns around only to see a maiden with a gold ring on her finger siting there in fear and horror. She Emptied out her pistol drop it into the floor and said “I’ll be waiting next to some roses” and she walks out we see her ridding home on a horse she walks into her house and sits on a rocking chair a couple more yards later we see her with some grey hair and winkle skin she looks up to the smell of burning rose she laughs as she sits on ear rocking chair grabs a shot gun and points it at the door as we see a shadow there. And then black god do I love that scenario that my head made the most just put ahhhhh.

    Most Mother Mother songs do a thing where the first time I hear it, I either dislike it, or I don't care for it, but after a few times, I'm literally in love. This is one of the only bands where I can say I'm an actual fan.

  64. J.... ....

    This makes me think of Percy from Critical Role, for some reason. I don't think it's just the gun part of the song, but everything else.

  65. R.... w....

    I relate this song to death anxiety and thanatophobia, the abnormal fear of death and dying. (No, not necrophobia. Necrophobia is only the abnormal fear of dead things).
    Verses like "I think I might pack some pistols" and "...be scared of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid" represents the fear of how so many things in the world can kill you and cause death. "I think I have a pistol and I'm gonna kill 'em all" Represents thinking that you can beat death. "And I found Jesus, what a liar" represents that there is no afterlife. There is no heaven after death, only darkness and nothingness.


    "And I, well I found what’s best for me
    And now I see no tragedy
    And I, I found a burning rose
    And now I won’t be packing little pistols
    No, no, no more"


    These verses could represent finding out what death really is. After death, yes, nothing happens, but your body produces so many chemicals at once that your brain responds with a sense of tranquility. I met a man that suffered from a condition where he couldn't feel pleasure, which is called anhedonia. He told me that he died drowning and came back. He said that although nothing happened, the process of his death felt peaceful. It was his only sense of pleasure. My father died of a heart attack and came back, got surgery. He told me that death felt like a break. There's a reason why it's called "rest in peace". I no longer suffer from death anxiety and I don't fear death because I know now that after death, all my suffering will be over with, and I can rest forever after my body is done producing all those chemicals afterwards.




    Other meanings for this song can just mean phobias in general, and always being on the defensive side over your abnormal fears for no reason.

  66. g.... !....

    this is for me mainly but-
    2:44 is the 'i think I might be scared' part!

    g.... !....

    thank youu! <3

  67. M.... B....

    0:58, 01:22 and 02:48 are the best parts.

  68. V.... T....

    The fact they only use the bit at 2:49 once is so sad
    That’s literally the best part of this song

  69. B.... W....

    After watching Season 6 of Grey's Anatomy... This song kinda reminds me of Gary Clark.

  75. M.... S....

    *I found jesus, what a liar.*

  76. H.... ....

    When I listen to this song I invision it like,
    There's a (12 year old) mental asylum patient who's been there since they were 6, and they've grown tired of how they've been treated for all those years, such as, being abused, yelled at, have had unneed medicine shoved into their bodies, etc. and when they say "i want brimstone, in my garden and i want roses set on fire" i think, they want to see the gravestones of their doctors/nurses in the graveyard they have behind the asylum, and i imagine the asylum being called roses, so they want to set the place ablaze and watch as it burns down. the patient takes this up with other patients (or friends) and so, on a cold, stormy night, they overthrow their "caretakers". for abusing them, experimenting on them, doing, unspeakable things to them, and getting away with it. and when the song says "i throw a pistol party and i kill them all." i see them, with weapons of any sort, attacking them. while they're being attacked someone sets the asylum a blaze and all the patients break loose.
    fast forward a year or two, some of the patients who stayed in a group, visit roses (the asylum) and so when it says "i found brimstone, in my garden" they saw their graves, "i found jesus, what a liar" meaning that they were taught some form of christainty, and they lost belief after they ran away, "and i found roses, set on fire" meaning, they got what they wanted. they burnt the asylum.
