| Jack White – Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
All of you are wrong. And I can't see why so many can easily assume it is about Meg. Jack explains in an interview with Steven Hyden that this song is about: "That “Hip (Eponymous)” track was actually something I forced myself to go record at 5 in the morning. A melody and some lyrics I dreamed that I thought must’ve been something I saw a boy band do on MTV the day before. The story in the song is about white hipster musicianship and authenticity. The “stripes” are me talking about the flag and the American dream of profiting at any cost. The boy and girl in the song are arbitrary. I could’ve said grandma and Old Joe."
