Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Last time she come down
She spread her lovin all over this town
They say she carry, carry silver dagger
Lady never stagger to cut me down
Oh no, help me darlin please
You see me round here, in the night, on my knees
You take me down, now my smile a frown
Last time she come down
She spread her lovin all over this town
They say she carry, carry silver dagger
Lady never stagger to cut me down
Oh no, how I'm gonna make it through
All these things I fall victim all because of you
She take me under, uh my heart got plundered
Girl got me bleeding through the sink
Last time she come down
She spread her lovin all over this town
They say she carry, carry silver dagger
Lady never stagger to cut me down
Last time
She come down
She spread her lovin
All over this town
Lady with the silver dagger got me now
She so evil

Overall Meaning
The lyrics of Charley Crockett's song "Silver Dagger" tell the story of a woman who comes to town and spreads her love around. However, she is not a caring lover, but rather someone who carries a silver dagger and is known to use it to cut down those who cross her. The singer of the song falls victim to this woman's charms and suffers greatly as a result. He pleads for help and laments how he can't seem to escape her grasp. By the end of the song, he acknowledges that the woman is evil and has him in her clutches.
"Silver Dagger" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting involved with someone who may seem alluring at first but is ultimately harmful. The silver dagger serves as a symbol of the woman's destructive power, and the singer's repeated pleas for help emphasize the sense of helplessness and desperation he feels. The repetition of the chorus underscores the cyclical nature of the singer's predicament, as he appears to be caught in a never-ending cycle of falling for this woman's charms and suffering the consequences.
Overall, "Silver Dagger" is a powerful and haunting song that resonates with anyone who has been in an unhealthy or toxic relationship. It is a testament to Charley Crockett's exceptional songwriting skills and his ability to convey complex emotions through evocative and memorable lyrics.
