Mary

I saw this more as two 16 year olds who wanted to get some and the guy was all nervous, and ended up with nothing but a blow job...coz the chick's dad came home before they could find the bed.

Damn, this song is hard to interpret, everybody's theories all have certain points that would deem them valid, but you gotta take a look at the theories whom can apply to more of the song, cause all lines have to mean something, there not just put there for no reason, i mean they may be filler, but all the lines even filler ones were written to the same point, so lets take a look at this;

Baby one breath away I'll find the words to say I'll sit and light the bong I'll hold my hit in real long

Baby one breath away, could mean that his baby is one breath away thus further relating to our beloved marijuanna, or does he mean, his baby is one breath away breath as in words? Ah, hell find the words to say, so maybe he is talking about speaking? Then he goes into talking about pot. The way he mentions pot in this first four lines sounds like hes so sad about it, not just the way the actual song sounds but the way he words it; as in yeah you know im going to sit and light the bong, and of course inevitably the hit will be held in real long. But fuck, what do i know?

I don't know if I can Go up inside of you tonight Oh Mary baby please don't fuss and fight

Obviously, this looks like its talking about sex. But it kinda looks like Mary's being asked with sympathjy please not to fuss and fight with him about his mentioned inability to "go up inside" of her.

You've heard the line before Mary baby please don't think that I'm a whore If you come home to me turn off the lights and lock up the doors, and start getting busy

What line has she heard before? Apparently one that he feels the need to try to clear up his non-whoreness about. But while asking not to think hes a whore, he then asks her when she gets home to setttle the house down and then to come in and laid him.

I don't know if I can Go so far up inside you tonight Oh Mary baby I could do it right

But its confusing as FUCK! cause after asking to get busy hes saying that he doesnt know if he can, which makes it appear as if the inability isn't some kind of moral choice inabuility, but as in an actual inability, but once concluding that he then says how he could do it right, which starts the same track of mind all over again

When we got to the pad Mary baby started calling me her dad Yes, she gave me head We could not find a damn bed Fifteen years old plus one Hotter than a microwave oven Oh Mary baby, your daddy is coming home

Now, back to the home thing, which when previously mentioned included her "getting busy" as in fucking him but now instead of saying that hes saying she started calling him her dad, which i have heard some people do, some couples have the female refering to the male as some kind of dominant thing as in "dad", its not neccessarily an incest thing and then she started calling him dad seems like a way of saying she started sexually, either she got all turned on and shit, or she was asking him for sex, or soemthing as in her trying to instigate sexuality between the two, it further goes on to say the both could not find a bed, so they were both doing something in need of a bed...sex, he never says who the age is referring too but he also never says what he is calling hot, im sure he could be refering to himself with the age, but it seems teh age and hot reference are at the same person since they are both simultaneous and not aimed at anyone, i am sure he wouldnt call himself hot, so the age and hotness must belong to the girl

and he ends with daddys coming home so i suppose after the girl tried instigating sex with calling bradley her dad, he eventuially went with it

this is very rambly, and innacurate, and i just went through everything and tried to explain it how i interpretted it at the moment, who knows ill probably delete this after realizing how stupid it is

I love this song. At first i just downloaded it because my name is mary and i wanted to see what this song was about, but i ended up really liking it. Even though it seems like its just about smoking weed and having sex, i think it is a really sweet song. I think that he feels guilty about kind of using a girl because he really does like her, like when he says,"I don't know if i can go so far up inside of you tonight Oh Mary baby i could do it right." He wants to have a good relationship and "do it right" because he really cares about her.

If you listen really really closely at the very end, it sounds to me like Brad starts crying. Has anyone else noticed this?

I think Brad just had a thing for young girls, if you look at "Wrong Way" you will notice the lines "Annie's 12 years old, in two more she'll be a whore" and "soggy jizz running down to her chin and it ruins up her makeup, I never wanted." Yes it was "jizz" in the first line, not "tears" although he uses "tears" the second time.

I loooove this song. I dont even care what its about, thats one of the many amazing qualities of sublime. It could be about fist raping a horse and bradley could still make it sound beautiful. Sublime is by far the best at taking an already awesome song, and creating a brilliantly raw yet beautiful acoustic version.

sublime

Yea this song is deffinatly about getting head from a 16yr old. Brad is hitting the bong trying to get up the nerve. When he says Mary baby please don't fuss and fight...that means that he is kind of hesitant and she is upset because she thinks that she is old enough to please him. Daddy is coming home means that he gave in and is now having an orgasm.

Ok this is just my view.

Mary picks up the narrator at a party where he's been smoking pot so he's a little fuzzy. They go back to his place and start with the foreplay. The narrator is afraid he won't be able to "perform" until Mary goes down on him. Then they end up going at it on the floor or sofa because they don't make it to the bed. While they're going at it she tells him how old she is, but she's really hot so he keeps going.

Rubberband is right he didn't write this about some little girl, he wrote it when he was young

Just so yallknow Brad Wasnt much of a fan of meaningless sex maybe blowjobs he was cool with cause he sang bout htem so much but he really didnt like doing a chick and not beign in love wiht her
