Packing up, shacking up is all you wanna do
I know this has been discussed, but I want to know sure about the meaning of Packing up, shacking up is all you wanna do
Stevie was upset with this quote. Dreams was positive but GYOW no, she said, and this quote offended her. Though she did sing it anyway, during the gigs. But what does it mean? (remember I'm spanish speaking). I heard it means like she only wanted to have fun and didn't take seriously the relationship, is that correct? |
I always thought that it meant all Stevie wanted to do was sleep around :shrug:
|
not sure how the "packing up" part fits in, but "shacking up" pretty much means living together and having intimate relations, but not married
maybe it's supposed to lead everyone to believe that Stevie didn't want to commit to Lindsey in some way |
I remember her saying that every time she had to sing that line she just wanted to leg it across the stage and throttle him.
Ah, love. :angel: |

I think the "packin' up" is directed at Stevie as well as "shackin' up" because of the meaning someone else mentioned above - she doesn't want to commit. She always wants to "pack up" when things get bad and when they're good, all she wants to do is "shack up" without real commitment. Makes you wonder if Lindsey proposed and got turned down. Stevie did say once that he was upset because she didn't want to be his wife.

Wasn't the original line 'crackin' up, shackin' ups all you wanna do?
I've seen an interview in which Stevie says the whole sentiment of the song was 'mean' because he was telling her to go away. She went on to say "And I never shacked up with anyone while I was with him" which suggests she took it as a reference to sleeping around. |

anyone ever heard the expression "pack your nose?"

another question: how does everyone read the chorus? As a plain imperative with the explicit subject? "You can go your own way" grammatically as in "Go sit in the corner until I tell you you can get up"? or as an indicative statement with a hint of the conditional to follow? "You can go your own way" grammatically as in "You can run, but you can't hide"? The grammatical differences would seriously alter one's interpretation of meaning. Is the speaker telling the girl to get out? or is he merely indicating that, although she's about to up & leave, it won't be permanent? |
