Be a Man Lyrics

Whoo
And so she dances in your crystal ball
The ballerina of the baby dolls
Under a spell you only call her name
Only her answer can undo your pain
Her swirlling hand is like a magic wand
It's gonna hurt this time the fairy dust is gone

Chorus:
Be a man
Don't let her do that to you
Be a man
Don't let her do that to you

She's a bad girl gets to cry all day
The darkness is the only place that you play
The broken veins from all your wounds are raw
Your not the only boy that waits for her call

Chorus

Oh well
She's on the dark side
She's on the dark side

Oh well
And it will neutralize
And it will neutralize

Chorus

Cover art for Be a Man lyrics by City Sleeps

the person being talked about in the song is addicted to something(under a spell), and watever hes addicted to is personified as a woman, and 'shes' in his future(crystal ball), the person needs 'her' (call her name) 'she' has alot of ppl addicted to her(youre not the only one....), and 'she' is breaking the person down somehow (be a man, dont let her do that to u), 'she' obviously bad (shes on the darkside), i dont want to say its about drugs , it can be a number of things, lets just say 'she' is sin in general. its just what i think

This song is no doubt a warning to a guy that he's letting a girl he fell in love with take him over and use him. She's not a "good girl," but he is.

And so she dances in your crystal ball - You see her in your future/fantasies. The ballerina of the baby dolls - She stands out among all other girls as the perfect one in your eyes. Under a spell you only call her name - You talk to her for no other reason other than you need to because you love her. Only her answer can undo your pain - Only way to stop dreaming of her is to talk to her. Her swirlling hand is like a magic wand - Anything she asks you do. It's gonna hurt this time the fairy dust is gone - When you find out she's just using you, her asking the next time is going to hurt.

She's a bad girl gets to cry all day - She's on the dark side (not sure about the crying part) The darkness is the only place that you play - The only reason she pays attention to you is because she uses you. The broken veins from all your wounds are raw - You might heal on the outside (act like things are fine), but inside you're being hurt by her. Your not the only boy that waits for her call - You're not the only guy she uses, you're not special, and she probably doesn't love you like you love her.

She's on the dark side - she's not a "good girl"

And it will neutralize - she might not make you a "bad" guy, but you'll lose what made you good try to be with her.

The "be a man" is a warning to not allow her to take you over, and keep your standards.
