Poor Boy
Vices I Admire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The better off you'll be
Keep your head under my pain is illogical like sane for me
You gave her more
Than love could afford,
This easy word
Is more than a sword
Kept your head under my pain is so illogical
Like how I'll be "reborn"
"reborn"?
Fortune make me your whore
Fortune give me your scars
Fortune fuck me like I've been begging
Fortune build me a world
Fortune make me your girl
Fortune fuck me like you could save me
You will like it all ways
How your head responds to our pain
For this simple reason I'll make more warmth for folded hands to hold
Kept in my pocket just the same: for shame
You gave her more
(than love could afford)
This easy word
(is more than a sword)
Keep your head under my pain
It's illogical like reborn
Reborn
Fortune make me your whore
Fortune give me your scars
Fortune fuck me like I've been begging
Fortune make me your girl
Fortune build me a world
Fortune fuck me like you could save me
(c'mon fortune, fuck me)
Little boy
Rape
"no" means more
Rape
The poor boy
Fortune build me a world, fortune give me your scars, it's love at least once picken
I'll be your boy for sure, I'll scream til' hoarse, c'mon fortune, fuck me
I'm reborn
The song "Poor Boy" by Vices I Admire seems to be about someone who is willing to do anything for fortune, including sacrificing their own well-being and falling into an illogical mindset. The lyrics suggest that ignorance is bliss when it comes to dealing with pain - the less you know, the better off you'll be. The singer of the song acknowledges that they are willingly keeping their head under their pain, as if it were logical to do so. The song also touches on the idea of love and how it can sometimes be more harmful than a sword, indicating that love can hurt more than physical harm.
The chorus seems to be a call to fortune, begging for scars and pain to be inflicted upon them - almost as if the singer is masochistic. The repeated line of "Fortune, fuck me like you could save me" suggests that the singer is seeking some kind of salvation or redemption through this destructive behavior. The final lines of the song, "I'll be your boy for sure, I'll scream til' hoarse, c'mon fortune, fuck me, I'm reborn" seem to indicate that the singer is willing to do anything to start anew, even if it means beginning from a place of pain and suffering.
