I think you've hit the nail on the head on pretty much everything you've said. I also think he's reprimanding the average music listener for not actually listening to the lyrics. He is so artful in how he does it though because, the ones he's reprimanding won't be listening anyways, they're being too shallow to realize he is insulting them, and those that are listening, aren't who he talking about anyways. There's also a bit of a cocky tone to the song as well. He says "And I can keep it up for as long as it takes and it don't matter who you are, if I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks", implying that he's such a great musician that he can sing about nothing for as long as he wants, and you'll still listen. At the end he also says "and if I'm stuck and need a buck, I don't rely on luck because the hook brings you back." If he ever has a writers block, or is short on cash, he can just write a shallow, catchy song, and the popular music crowd will devour it, despite it's lack of lyrical depth. |

I dont know if anyone has explained this yet but where he says: If i get you in the loop when I make a point to be straight with you then In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though I brazillian wax poetic So hypothetically I don't wanna beat around the bush he is actually talking to the listener, not tryin to get sum1 in bed. Its kind of a sarcastic statement, because he talks about "be straight with you" and "I dont wanna beat around the bush" because thought then entire song is about sex, it never says it outright, so he does "beat around the bush" the entire time and he says stuff like in the end youll know my intent, saying he hopes youll get the meaning of the song by the end. theres my two cents. |
