In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Superstar
Where you from, how's it going?
I know you
Got a clue, what you doing?
You can play brand new to
All the other chicks out here
But I know what you are
What you are, baby
Look at you
Gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby you
Got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one
But I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are
What you are, baby
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby
You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer
Womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You got me going
You're oh so charming
But I can't do it
You womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You say I'm crazy
I got you crazy
You're nothing but a
Womanizer
Daddy-O
You got the swagger of a champion
Too bad for you
You just can't find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many
Makes it hard, it could be easy
Who you are
That's just who you are, baby
Lollipop
Must mistake me, you're the sucker
To think that I
Would be a victim, not another
Say it, play it, how you wanna?
But no way I'm ever gonna
Fall for you
Never you, baby
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby
You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer

Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You say I'm crazy
I got you crazy
You're nothing but a
Womanizer
Maybe if
We both lived in a
Different world
(Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer)
It would be all good
And maybe I could be your girl
But I can't
'Cause we don't
Womanizer, woman-womanizer

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song is absolutely amazing, i love all britney's song's and her videos. i'm always so excited whenever she comes out with a neww song. she's reallly coming back this time. congradulations brit. :)
Ohhhh, such a great catchy songgg.
to me the video looks as if it represents men as unloyal, and untrustworthy. shown by his interests in women around the workplace, & his girfriend/wife realises that he is a W0MANIZER, OHHHH.
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here But I know what you are, what you are, babyyyy
I love this song its so catchy i love the chorus
FUCK YEAH. i can't fucking wait for the video premiere tomorrow. aka i'm gonna have a fuckin coronary.
always loved britney clearly, she's the shit deal with it? YAH
HOLY JAMA-LLAMA, BRITNEY SPEARS LOOKED FUCKIN' HOT IN THE MUSIC VID.
britney spears is comin' back with powahh.
I love this song. and the video goes great with the lyrics. and yes, Britney is definitely back, although in my mind she never left.
Chorus:
Womanizer Woman-Womanizer Youre a Womanizer Oh Womanizer oh You're a Womanizer baby You you you are You you you are Womanizer Womanizer Womanizer
Boy, don't try to front I I know just just what you are are are Boy don't try to front I I know just just what you are are are You, you got me going You, you're oh so charming But I can do it Womanizer
Boy don't try to front I I know just just what you are are are Boy don't try to front I I know just just what you are are are You, you say I'm crazy You, I got you crazy You're nothing but a Womanizer
LOVE it! The chorus is freaking long haha took me ages to figure it out.
breath of fresh air...the meanings pretty clear....it's regarding dismissing someone in yr life whose a womanizer and just gonna keep you around like a puppet on a string
yeah i agree with you. she is writing about a man who uses women for sex and/or cheats with other women, but she won't fall for this, so he shouldn't even bother trying. i think it is unfair and a little harsh that people were saying britney was "fat" and psycho. i think she has succeeded with this song as a comeback.
Britney uncovers and reveals someone for who he really is! I think this is definitely a comeback! The entire song is catchy and the beat is ace!
