Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I'm not your boyfriend, baby,
I ain't your cute little sex toy,
I'm not your lion or your tiger,
Won't be your nasty little boy,
I'm not your boyfriend, baby,
I can't grant your every wish,
I'm not your knight in shining armor,
So, I just leave you with this kiss
You can catch me on the speedtrain,
Beeper in a three-way,
Shinin' with the gleam chain,
And your honey givin' me brain,
You can catch me watchin' AI,
Melo, it's game time,
Pinkie with the same shine,
A pit bull and a canine
You know I rep' this shit,
I gots it tatted on my skin,
If you fuckin' with my city,
Then you fuckin' with my kin,
You know I rep' this shit,
I got my hands up on your chest,
Motherfuckers best believe it,
That you're fuckin' with the best
I'm not your boyfriend, baby,
I ain't your cute little sex toy,
I'm not your lion or your tiger,
Nah, nah, won't be your nasty little boy,
Whoo, I'm not your boyfriend, baby,
Yeah, I can't grant your every wish,
Yeah, I'm not your knight in shining armor,
So, I just leave you with this kiss

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song is about sex, with a girl he doesn't want to be with or care about...I like the song, but it seems pretty mean
First part says "I don't want to be with you"
"I'm not your boyfriend, baby, I ain't your cute little sex toy, I'm not your lion or your tiger, Won't be your nasty little boy, I'm not your boyfriend, baby, I can't grant your every wish, I'm not your knight in shining armor"
Not really sure about this part, I guess he is just talking how cool he is?
"You can catch me on the speedtrain, Beeper in a three-way, Shinin' with the gleam chain,"
Giving me brain means he is getting a blow job
"And your honey givin' me brain,"
I have no idea about this next part look to zewender
"You can catch me watchin' AI, Mellow, it's game time"
Pinkie ring? agian talking about how cool he is
"Pinkie with the same shine,"
I think the next line is "Deep poetic canine" meaning he is a sweet talker but deep down he is a dog A pit bull and a canine
The next part is normal rep your hood rap shit
"You know I rep' this shit, I gots it tatted on my skin, If you fuckin' with my city, Then you fuckin' with my kin, You know I rep' this shit,"
Think about the next part literaly
I got my hands up on your chest, (he is laying down she is sitting on him) Motherfuckers best believe it, That you're fuckin' with the best (...literaly, fucking)
turn the lights off we are about to have sex
"Kill the lights,"
how to get girls...smoke it's cool, have a nice car, get an easy (fast) girl, and alcohol
"These children learn from cigarette burns, fast cars, fast women, and cheap drinks"
people think that's the normal way to get girls, and they assume it's the norm "feels right"
"It feels right"
Asphyxiated: parents give kids rules (smother them) Self medicated: drunk or on drugs white pill: birth control

that was a beautiful assesment.. literally, beautiful. i don't think anyone can put it into better words.
Great analysis! <br /> The only thing you missed was "You can catch me watchin' A.I, mellow it's game time"<br /> The first part is referring to the basketball player, Allen Iverson (A.I) who at the time this song was written was one of the Denver Nugget's badass players. The "mello its game time" (its shouldn't be mellow) part refers to Carmello Anthony, another kickass Nuggets player. So basically that whole part is about a basketball game..<br /> I'm from Colorado so I know my stuff on the Nuggets :) <br /> Hope this helped!!<br />
thanks that helped a lot! if u got time u should breakdown the other songs!<br /> <br /> i moved to CO this yr n heard this band n fell in love! now im tryin to actually learn wat the fuck they mean in their lyrics . . . <br /> i dont wanna be another: "OMG this band is Amamzing!!: then someone asks y they like the band or wat somethin in the lyrics means n they are all "idk i just like them!!"<br /> <br />
Jesus fucking christ get over yourself. Music is for sharing and appreciating.
OH WAHHH ppl r stealing music from my myspace page!!!11
Anyway, pretty much all of 3oh!3 is dope, this one might just be my favorite, but my favorite tends to be whichever one I am listening to at the moment
exactly.
I feel so gangster what i listen to this song in my car.
The bass is so sick.
And the lyrics are really good.
God damn.
Am i laughing at this band or with them when i listen to these songs? I seriously do not know. I like them because they humor me. I have no clue if they are trying to be funny or not.
the 1's (?) is mellow like carmellow anthony the basketball player he plays with AI and the 2nd (?) is pitbull with a canine
Frickin' love this song! i think its about this guy who doesn't want to be this girl's little bitch. but at the same time, he's grown up learning from "cigarette burns, fast cars, fast women, and cheap drinks." i think he feels a great connection to where he grew up. i ultimately think he's conflicted about this woman he's kinda dating and who he is and where he's from. this song is sick, and i love the switch from techno-alternative to hip-hop/rap. purely amazing!
this song is pretty self explanatory. he doesn't wanna be some girls boy toy. and he's basically just saying how he is badass. the "these children learn" part is kinda random but i like it. this is my myspace song. 3Oh!3 is ballahh.
What is the white pill?!
white pill= drugs. Usually 'white pill' is considered cocanine or crack.<br /> <br /> that part means that kids use drugs like its nothing, they prescribe the medicine to themselves, and use it to make them forget their problems ('feel alright').
white pill= xanax...
it's not a pitbull and a canine..
it's "deep poetic canine"
jackfrost73 pretty much understands the song.
:]
i looooooooove this song i like how he says "armor" hehe
ahh this is my favorite new song by 3oh!3
