Little Black Backpack Lyrics
It's a shame
A shame I can't show it
And I see it
I can see it now
But I'm so far below it
Don't wanna
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
and
Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back
Yes I can
What about that don't you understand?
And I sense you
It's something sensual
But it's less than I planned
Don't wanna
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
and
Chorus
Your mind is lined with layers of lead
Have you heard one thing that I've said?
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
and
Chorusx2

You really don't know what it's about? I thought it's pretty obvious.
It's about a jealous guy and his girlfriend. She let's a guy hold her little black backpack, and he goes off in a jealous rage and beats the fuck out of him. The other verses are about how he tries to talk to her, but she just doens't "get it" about how this tears him up.
So when he see's her with the guy holding her backpack, he won't talk or work things out with her, he just straight up wants to kick the guys ass.
There ya go

i think it's about the songwriters girlfriend cheating on him... and instead of talking things out with his gf... he'd rather just take out all his pent up aggression on the guy she's cheating with... i dunno about the whole backpack thing lol
JUST AN OPINION

actually maybe it's about he breaking up with her and the beating the shit outta him........and she left her black backpack at his place or something.......isnt it?
i mean i think it makes more sense than breaking up with the girl cause a stupid guy just held her backpack...whatever i just met stroke 9 (as in heard of them) and they're a great great band...good music and all. hope to hear more from them.

I saw them in concert, and before this song was played they said "this is for everyone that has been cheated on."

The meaning is pretty obvious. His girl cheated on him and he doesnt want see her anymore, but he wants to take out his rage on the guy she was with. He wants nothing to do with the girl, but she cant expect to get her "black backpack back" because she cheated on him. the backpack just resembles anything that couples fight over when they break up.
@1600plus You left out an integral part of that section of the lyrics. it's "BLOODY black backpack back" which indicates to me that the guy who is currently in possession of it will be bleeding all over it by the time the protagonist gets finished with him.

its about his girl sleeping with a drug dealer for drugs and him catching them and whooping his ass and telling her they're done

what is this song about, does anybody have a clue?

I always wondered that myself. O_o

i have no idea...but it sounds so cool

I think it's about a person who just lets things slip off their back.. and how one of their friends is like "come on.. defend yourself" and the person won't defend themself so the other person sticks up fro them and gets mad that they have to.. i donno... i like the song tho..
