Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
All those bugs
Buzzin' round
Well they fly in the air
And you comb your hair
And the summer time will make you itch the
Mosquito bites
The buzz of love
Is busy buggin' you
Well they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And they're splattered up and down your windshield
The headlights
Well, they bite
Yeah they bite
But you can't see them there
But they bite
Yeah, they bite
But you can't tell they're there
Does love buzz?
Because that's what it does
Well, they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And the summertime will make you itch the
Mosquito bites
And they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And they splattered up and down your windshield
The headlights
Fly in the air
Comb your hair
Fly in the air
Comb your hair
Buzzin' round
Well they fly in the air
And you comb your hair
And the summer time will make you itch the
Mosquito bites
The buzz of love
Is busy buggin' you
Well they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And they're splattered up and down your windshield
The headlights
Well, they bite
Yeah they bite
But you can't see them there
But they bite
Yeah, they bite
But you can't tell they're there
Does love buzz?
Because that's what it does
Well, they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And the summertime will make you itch the
Mosquito bites
And they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And they splattered up and down your windshield
The headlights
Fly in the air
Comb your hair
Fly in the air
Comb your hair

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

ahhh! this song is about love bugging you!
yes it bites, but it gets to you! it gets in the way, it gets messy but it's LOVE!
what fun to be in love!!!!
(well, that's just my take on it!)
and jake987722, i think Wayne has a bit of an obsession with Chrisitmas! don't loads of their songs have a Christmas jingle somewhere in them? ha ha!
As the leader of the f***in' free world...................... I feel this song is clearly a warning of the ever-approaching takeover of insects. They bite and you can't fucking see them? Jesus christ! COUNT ME OUT. The mere fact that they assume on such a negative scare tactic to sell music discredits them as a band entirely.
woah, i just found this on my austin powers 2 soundtrack! what a pleasant surprise :)
I love how smart this song sounds too. There's an effect that makes you imagine about buzzing mosquitoes in the summertime. The whole song has a summer feel. Genius, utterly genius.
The lyrics in this Lips song are kind of nonsensical sounding, but a great metaphor for summer love. I love the music in this song the most though. It makes me feel like I'm floating, while watching fireflies in bubbles rise into a night sky.
This song reminds me of summer like no other.
It's a great song for your love with your girl "does love buzz, because that's what it does?" Yes!!! Me and My Girl Fly Through the Air, because that's what we do!
i love how the Lips manage to mix together gorgeous classical sounds with buzzing bass and drum thrash and pull it off perfectly
Ironically, the MUSIC actually reminds me of Christmas time :/ especially the beginning
Correction: it should be "Girls love buzz cause that's what it does" instead of "does love bugs because that's what it does". by the way... could that be a metaphor for sex? XD
Not sex.................... A certain tool used that might buzz (a christ-forsaken vibrator) used for masturbation.<br /> masturbation.<br /> masturbation.<br /> masturbation.
