| Hooters – Johnny B. Lyrics | 7 years ago |

This song plainly describes addiction. It describes the relationship you have with the object of addiction. If you carefully read the lyrics it makes perfect sense. I would extend the interpretation to addiction to drugs, people, things, behaviors, attitudes, habits, and ways of thinking that are fundamentally destructive, and that deny you the possibilities and chances of becoming a greater version of yourself. That is when and how "a green light turns to red" for someone. When he can't discipline and control his impulses and his addiction, so that it dominates and dictates his whole reality, and eventually his life. I'll just move to the last verse. If you know the first thing about addiction, you know that even if you manage to control it, it is "forever inside you, wherever you go", and the only thing that can change, is your ability to resist it. |

I love this song! For me, it talks about the "forbidden fruit", the seemingly "bad investment". It is when you meet someone who is clearly bad for you but you go for it anyway. >"I met a devil woman >She took my heart away >She said, I've had it comin' to me >But I wanted it that way" You go for it not out of naivety, but because you find value in any form of romantic experience. Or at least that's what you think. >"I think that any love is good lovin'. >So I took what I could get, mmh" The chorus demonstrates that, despite your good will and effort to keep your shit together, and as hard as things seem with a person who is unfit to be beside you, you have absolutely no clue of how ugly, even traumatizing, things can get towards the inevitable end. >"Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes >And said, >You ain't seen nothin' yet >B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet >Here's something that you never gonna forget >B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet" Still so, Randy Bachman thinks it's worth it. Because in life you need to see things and go places. So bring it on! You hit hard while I build character! >"Woohoo, but I ain't seen nothin' yet >Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah >I ain't seen nothin' yet >I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait >If you want to show me what I ain't seen, where I ain't been." |
