|
I think this song is about fake friends, how hard it is to find a genuine person, and Shaun’s struggle to relate to those around him. “You used to speak the truth but now you’re clever” refers to how Shaun used to be able to shite-talk with his friend about anything, but now their airs of intelligence make them hard to relate to anymore. Apart from that line, the song’s meaning kind of went over my head until I saw the video which is in a club setting. “I hold the line, you form a que” refers to Shaun holding his friend’s place in line at the bar. Despite this, the friend forms his own line separate to Shaun’s. This is symbolic of how the friend is not interested in Shaun or his circle anymore, but moves away to form a different “que”. “I sent for juice, you give me poison” Considering the club setting, this is probably a reference to the friend spiking Shaun’s drink, and to backstabbing and deception in general. “I don’t read, I just guess” is a testimonial to Shaun’s casual attitude to life, which is so different from that of his try-hard friends. The final verse is about facades. “When it’s hot you start to melt, ‘cause you’re not made of cheese, you’re made of chocolate” - Their shows of strength and intelligence are but shows, for when things get heated they can’t handle it anymore. |
