Boys On The Radio Lyrics

Cover art for Boys On The Radio lyrics by Hole

"Do what you want  'Cause I'll do anything  And I'll take the blame"

I will be judge no matter what I do, and no matter what you do people will love you anyway

"What's mine is yours  You can have all of it  And I'll learn to pay"

You will always have credits for what I do good, and for the rest, well it is me who will be blame

"Oh the boys on the radio  They crash and burn  They fold and fade so slow  In your endless summer night  I'll be on the other side  When you're beautiful and dying  All the world that you've denied  When the water is too deep  You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight  Tonight "

It is a song about many thing, grief but also double standart men/women, so it's basically : all the men rock star destroys themself because they are fragile

You were fragile too, so you quited this life, and even if you hated people they will cries for you

But "You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight" : I love you, I forgive you, rest in peace

"I wait alone  For what will never come  And I'll throw it all away"

I will wait for hapiness and as always I will be disapointed

So basically, like I said for me it is about grief, so a lot of anger, deception, sadness and love/acceptation, and also about the fact that for the public eyes she will always be the ugly bad women. For me the last 2 posts are misoginyst bullshit.

There is probably a part of the song who reffers to others boyfriends/similar experiences
