This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Another night alone again
And even though I don't really need a man
I go to my lab, start creating…
My perfect new boyfriend
I'm done with dudes not so woke
Or cocky bros with big egos
Waiting by the phone for it to beep
“WYD” from some dumb creep
See no time for wondering
If he’ll call back or start ghosting
No time for tears in the lean cuisine
I control who I'm making
Dream lover? Gonna make him real!
I'm gonna kill cause I got the skills
So off to the lab to create my guy
The best dudes ever are DIY
[Hook]
Paper Maché Boo
Cut and Paste Dude
Stretch are you
Boyfriend Material?
Thread, hot glue
Scissors cut through
Stretch are you
Boyfriend Material?
Open the trunk of my spare parts
Of all the men who broke my heart
Ooh this chest is really ripped!
Sew it to this arm. Biceps so big!
Snap in legs, he's my Ken Doll
My Gumby man is flexible
To the stretch machine! Gonna make him tall!
Pop on his skull, then two eyeballs
Sew on lips there pillow soft
All the better to get me off
Then one by one i'll pick his teeth
Cause men look better when they’re smiling
Wrapped skin tight from head to toe
Mold his buns like mounds of dough
Then pull the lever and oh surprise!
OMG He’s ALIVE!
Now I'm only swiping left
Cause mama deserves the best
Put them lames up on a shelf
Oh here’s my man!
[MC Frontalot]
Woke up calibrated just like this:
An Adonis among the sophisticates
But I missed the bits where I put it all together...
Did I do a lot of work? Doesn’t matter whether
I’m perfect now, let the past be over
Three limbs got tats, each says YOLO
Got three grams of fat on my whole body
Dare I check in the pants? Actually not shoddy
Bouncing off the kneecaps
Butt muscles rippling. I see that
Smile and it’s more charismatic
Than six Brad Pitts stapled together in a panoramic
Damn it! Just caught sight
Of the person with whom I’m about to spend my life
And he’s just my type and he’s there in the mirror
Like I’m built for me and that’s what I’m here for
Hook
Stretch for me
Stretch for me
I'm better off alone
And even though I don't really need a man
I go to my lab, start creating…
My perfect new boyfriend
I'm done with dudes not so woke
Or cocky bros with big egos
Waiting by the phone for it to beep
“WYD” from some dumb creep
See no time for wondering
If he’ll call back or start ghosting
No time for tears in the lean cuisine
I control who I'm making
Dream lover? Gonna make him real!
I'm gonna kill cause I got the skills
So off to the lab to create my guy
