Appetite (For Lightin' Dynamite) Lyrics
Everybody knows when he's coming to town
They're locking the doors
And they don't make a sound
People want him dead but he won't die yet
First he's got to live
With the things that he did
People want him leaving
But he isn't leaving soon
He gets him some smokes
And some hoes
And a hotel room
Then you best duck when he's through
He's clinching his fists
And he's lookin for you
'Cause Darren's got an appetite
For lightin' dynamite
And letting it
Blow up in his hands
[repeat]
Ava's got a Frank Sinatra tune
Ava's got the sun
And the wind
And the moon
Ava's got a lawyer
And a baller
And a 4-foot taller
And a bullfighter from Spain too
But I guess you could never forget
The way she moves
She removes your stress
"You ain't got a clue 'bout nothing like this"
That's what she says
And she means what she says
See Ava's got an appetite
For lightin' dynamite
And letting it blow up in her hand
[repeat]
They're locking the doors
And they don't make a sound
People want him dead but he won't die yet
First he's got to live
With the things that he did
People want him leaving
But he isn't leaving soon
He gets him some smokes
And some hoes
And a hotel room
Then you best duck when he's through
He's clinching his fists
And he's lookin for you
For lightin' dynamite
And letting it
Blow up in his hands
Ava's got the sun
And the wind
And the moon
Ava's got a lawyer
And a baller
And a 4-foot taller
And a bullfighter from Spain too
But I guess you could never forget
The way she moves
She removes your stress
"You ain't got a clue 'bout nothing like this"
That's what she says
And she means what she says
For lightin' dynamite
And letting it blow up in her hand

This song is about a bad ass dude that's done a lot of bad shit and everyones afraid of him. He won't die yet because he's goin to have to live with what he's done because the guilt is worse then death and he also won't change. His appetite for dynamite is a metaphor for causing trouble and time and time again it causes him harm like if he let a stick of dynamite blow up in his hand. The second half of the song is about a prostitute. She's sleepin with all these men but they'll remember her cause she's awsome in the sack. Prostitues relieve stress and what she say is slutty. Besides she lets dynamite blow up in her hand lol she's jerkin a dude off and he nuts in her hand what else could it mean. It's actually pretty funny, well I think it is anyway.
B-A-D-A-S-S...nuff said.
I believe it's about people not being what they seem. Don't judge a book by its cover. Basically it opposes stereotyping.
i think of it as making mistakes. like the first verse is about a guy who has made lots of problems for himself because of his mistakes. the chorus is saying they are making these mistakes that hurt them but they just cant seem to stop
Ever heard of a "thrill junkie", kinda what I get from this song. The first verse seem to me like it's about a BAMF, probably a hitman or something like that, who gets high off of killing or whatnot. The second verse I would say is about a stripper, she's got a song (even though Frank Sinatra seems odd for a stripper), she's got the sun, the moon and the wind = she likes to be outdoors.
