A view at a personal experience can be revealing and insightful even if the view is indirect and somewhat out of focused. That’s our take on the lyrics of “Cuts” by Australian duo Wing Defence. The song is a perspective on dating apps, but the lyrics (included in this post) are subject to the listener’s interpretation. That’s clear from the start, with a conversation-stopping question based on the fact that a dog, who licks cuts and eats cigarette butts, would be sad if its owner died.
Wing Defence is Skye Lockwood and Paige Court in Adelaide, South Australia. According to the duo, “‘Cuts’ explores Skye’s experience with her two-week stint on the dating app Tinder, and emphatically includes the on-going experience of her friends who have also dabbled with the fickle and rather disappointing outcomes.”
While the lyrics relate to Skye Lockwood, the video is more connected with Paige Court. The more than 100 animations were authored by Paige. She says, “Creating the clip was about challenging myself to do something I hadn’t done before and the idea of an animation video was cool. I like to draw for fun and to cope with external things so I combined all that to create the video.”

Lyrics of “Cuts” by Wing Defence
My dog licks my cuts
And eats my cigarette butts
She'd be sad if I die
Does that mean that you'd be sad too?
Would you be sad too?
I love my coupons
And the great deals on Groupon
Take you out on a date
Does that mean that you'd take me too?
Would you take me too?
So hey
Let's just let this go
Cause it's been too long
And it's gone too slow
Yeah it's fine
Let's just let this be
Cause I hurt you
You hurt me
My plants always die
No matter how hard I try
Gotta give 'em more love
Does that mean you could love me too?
Could you love me too?
Could you love me too, hey?
(Let's just let this go
It's been too long
It's gone too slow
It's fine
Let's just let it be
'Cause I hurt you)
Yeah you hurt me
Yeah you hurt me
I know you why you want to stay
I know that I don’t feel the same
Now I'm feeling sober
Just wish that this was over
There's cuts and bruises all the way (There’s cuts and bruises all the way)
There's cuts and bruises all the way (Yeah you hurt me)
There's cuts and bruises all the way (Yeah you hurt me)
Now I'm feeling sober
Just wish that this was over
It's cuts and bruises all the way (There’s cuts and bruises all the way)
Yeah you hurt me
Yeah you hurt me
Yeah you hurt me
