Johnny Big Mouth
Don Carlos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are drawn with hate
'Cause I'm drawn to someone else
Looks like you could use a little sleep
I had some I didn't mention
You caught me coming late, framed by the door
Onto a floor that's freshly waxed
And that's my tracks raises
Some important questions
I ask you to be nice it has no effect
And I suspect that you suspect
But didn't I say feelings were the last things to make themselves felt?
Don't make me explain myself you don't need to know
What's going on in my big head right now
It could appear that I could have a statement prepared, but
Don't make me open my big mouth
The words come quickly I feel sick
I use that for an excuse to exit
Looks like you don't buy it
And I'm trying your patience
But what I leave unsaid sticks in my head
The guilt puts me in a spotlight
Looks like I might reveal
You're not my sole engagement
I ask you to shut up it's say's if I didn't
Know myself I wish you didn't
Know I can't turn back
But I didn't plan to tell you that
Don't make me explain myself, you don't need to know
What's going on in my big head right now
It could appear that I could want to defend me
But don't make me open my big mouth
You tell me to get out I can't get out of it
And I wish that we both could split
Splitting doesn't mean the end of the backlash
That I couldn't defend
Don't make me explain myself
You wouldn't like what you find
Inside my, inside my big head
It could appear that I would want to reassure your doubts
Don't make me open my big mouth
Don't make me, don't make me
Don't make me, don't make me
Don't make me open my big mouth
In Don Carlos's song Johnny Big Mouth, the singer is caught between two romantic interests and is struggling to manage the situation. The song is characterized by its vivid imagery, with the opening lines describing the lines of hate drawn across a character's face as a result of the singer's infidelity. Despite this, the singer is defensive and unapologetic, insisting that his feelings are beyond his control and that he is unable to explain himself fully to his partner.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer begging his partner not to force him to "open [his] big mouth" and reveal his true feelings. These feelings are clearly complicated and contradictory, with the singer simultaneously trying to reassure his partner while also acknowledging that their doubts are well-founded.
Overall, the lyrics of Johnny Big Mouth paint a picture of a complex and fraught romantic triangle, with the singer struggling to balance his own desires with his partner's expectations. The song is a powerful exploration of the difficulties of navigating romantic relationships and the emotions that can arise when feelings are not fully understood or expressed.
Line by Line Meaning
The lines across your face
I notice the expression on your face
Are drawn with hate
And it seems to me like you're angry with me
'Cause I'm drawn to someone else
Because I am attracted to somebody else
Looks like you could use a little sleep
You seem very tired
I had some I didn't mention
There were some things I didn't say
You caught me coming late, framed by the door
You saw me entering late and standing by the door
Onto a floor that's freshly waxed
The floor was recently cleaned and polished
And that's my tracks raises
My footprints are clearly visible
Some important questions
This raises some important questions
I ask you to be nice it has no effect
I ask you kindly to be nice, but it doesn't seem to have any effect
And I suspect that you suspect
And I have a feeling that you have some suspicions
But didn't I say feelings were the last things to make themselves felt?
But as I've mentioned before, feelings are the last things to be revealed
Don't make me explain myself you don't need to know
Please don't make me explain myself, it's not necessary for you to know
What's going on in my big head right now
What I am thinking right now
It could appear that I could have a statement prepared, but
You might think I'm prepared to say something, but
Don't make me open my big mouth
Please don't make me speak up
The words come quickly I feel sick
I feel nauseous and the words come out fast
I use that for an excuse to exit
I use this as an excuse to leave the situation
Looks like you don't buy it
You don't seem to believe me
And I'm trying your patience
I know I'm testing your patience
But what I leave unsaid sticks in my head
But the things I don't say still bother me
The guilt puts me in a spotlight
I feel guilty and under scrutiny
Looks like I might reveal
I might accidentally give something away
You're not my sole engagement
I am involved with someone else as well
I ask you to shut up it's say's if I didn't
I am telling you to be quiet as if I never said anything
Know myself I wish you didn't
I wish you didn't know me so well
Know I can't turn back
I know I can't go back on my actions
But I didn't plan to tell you that
But I didn't plan on telling you that particular piece of information
You tell me to get out I can't get out of it
You tell me to leave, but I am trapped in this situation
And I wish that we both could split
And I wish that we could both go our separate ways
Splitting doesn't mean the end of the backlash
But breaking up won't end the consequences of my actions
That I couldn't defend
That I wouldn't be able to defend myself from
You wouldn't like what you find
You wouldn't like what you discover
Inside my, inside my big head
What's going on in my mind
It could appear that I would want to reassure your doubts
I might seem like I want to reassure you, but
Don't make me open my big mouth
Don't make me say something I might regret
Don't make me, don't make me
Please, don't force me
Don't make me, don't make me
I'm begging you, don't make me
Don't make me open my big mouth
Don't make me say something that will cause more problems
