Gravity
The Whitest Boy Alive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's all fun, fun and games until
Somebody sees what they should not see, the innocence is killed
Not written, certainly not shown
But eventually what's meant to be covered up gets sold

You only want to be with her because she's mine
You will lose me as a friend if you cross that line
She's the gravity my life circles around
She's the gravity my life circles around

But how long can a cool cat keep its calm
Despite the amounting evidence that there's cause for alarm
Cause for worry, cause for pain
Physically threatening you, responsible alien

You only want to be with her because she's mine
(You're wrong)
You will lose me as a friend if you cross that line
(So long)
She's the gravity my life circles around
(Move on)
She's the gravity my life circles around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Whitest Boy Alive's song "Gravity" delve into the fragile nature of friendship and the complications that arise when romantic feelings are involved. The opening lines indicate that things can quickly turn from fun and games to serious consequences when someone discovers something they shouldn't. The innocence of the relationship is then lost, and secrets are sometimes revealed that were meant to be kept hidden. This is a common theme in friendships when trust is broken, and things that were once swept under the rug come to light. The lyrics suggest that even though something may not be written down, it can't stay hidden forever, and eventually, it will be exposed.


The chorus of the song focuses on the gravity of the situation. The singer's friend is interested in someone he shouldn't be, and the singer will no longer tolerate this behavior. The reference to losing a friend if this behavior continues emphasizes the importance of trust and loyalty in a friendship. The idea of gravity is metaphorical and represents the power the woman has over the singer's life. Despite the mounting evidence that something is not right, the singer's friend is still intent on pursuing the woman, possibly due to her magnetic charm.


In conclusion, the "Gravity" lyrics demonstrate the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the power struggles that can emerge. The singer is stuck in a precarious position, trying to keep his friendship intact while navigating his friend's misguided romantic intentions.

It's all fun
Fun and games until
Somebody sees what they should not see
And the innocence is killed
Not written
Certainly not shown
But eventually what's meant to be
Covered up gets known

[Hook]
You only want to be with her because she's mine
You will lose me as a friend if you cross that line
She's the gravity my life circles around
She's the gravity
My life circles around

[Verse 2]
But how long
Can a cool cat keep its calm?
Despite the mounting evidence
That there's cause for alarm
Cause for worry
Cause for pain
Physically threatening those
Responsible alien

You only want to be with her because she's mine
(You're wrong)
You will lose me as a friend if you cross that line
(So long)
She's the gravity my life circles around
(Move on)
She's the gravity
My life circles around
