Trying to Be Cool Lyrics

City and desert coexist
Depending on the things you’re wearing
Wildlife binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me

They’ll teach you suffer to resist
Too much intention, Presbyterian
Mint julep testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me

Cool
I’m just trying to be cool
It’s all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We’re both on

Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Is innocent too immature where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all

Two dozen pink and white ranunculus
Why? What are the problems to solve?
To part time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me

Cool
I’m just trying to be cool
It’s all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on

Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Compliments sound too cynical where you're from
Tell me that you want me
Tell me what they want it

Gruesome,
I don't care where you're from
Nothing's that personal
There is no physical evidence of cannibal boyfriend

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Why don't tell me that you want me?
Tell me that you want it all

shenanigans, this song has no meaning

Song Meaning

I like it tho

Yep, pretty disappointing lyrics, other than the chorus. Sucks when people just say nonsense, been a problem ever since Nirvana (not that I am at all capable of writing lyrics).

Tears for Fears singing nonsense before Nirvana.

freeing yourself from religious oppression while wanting to be wanted for who you are, even though you're still trying to figure yourself out

My Interpretation

It got a meaning, it just not really deep and not so hidden.
