Butterface
Gold Mind Squad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought she was hot
But it was dark
Now I know she's not
On the porch
In College Park
Should not have gone
She left her mark
Now I'm scarred
We went too far
I can't erase
What took place
She kissed me - didn't kiss her back
She's on the attack
Her comes butterface
Sha na na na nah - sha na na nah nasty
Butterface
In a moments time
I lost my pride
No where to hide
Images in my mind
I can't confide
They'll know I lied
When I think of that kiss
I wanna slit my wrists
I have nightmares
Shes in her underwear
Her face is busted
Man that's fuckin disgusting
She kissed me - didn't kiss her back
She's on the attack
Her comes butterface
Sha na na na nah - sha na na nah nasty
Butterface
Daddy warned me about girls like you
Better run like hell wehen they come after you
I think she fell from the ugly tree
Will someone please tell me why she's stalking me
She kissed me - didn't kiss her back
She's on the attack
Her comes butterface
Sha na na na nah - sha na na nah nasty
Butterface
I'm such a disgrace, hooked up with Butterface
The song "Butterface" by Gold Mind Squad is a humorous take on a situation where the singer hooks up with someone who he initially thought was attractive but then realizes that she is not. The lyrics describe the singer's regret and embarrassment for getting involved with someone who is physically undesirable and who he is ashamed of being associated with. The chorus of the song repeats the nickname "Butterface," which is a derogatory term used to describe a person with an attractive body but an unattractive face. The singer also talks about the consequences of his actions, how he has lost his pride and feels scarred after the encounter.
The lyrics highlight the shallow nature of the singer, who judged the woman based on her looks and eventually discovers that he made a mistake. The song also plays on the idea that someone's physical appearance is the sole determinant of their attractiveness when, in reality, it is subjective and multifaceted. The chorus, in particular, is a commentary on how society objectifies and devalues women who do not meet certain physical standards.
Overall, "Butterface" is a humorous yet cringe-worthy tale of a regretful hook-up and serves as a reminder that physical attraction should not be the sole determinant of one's worth or desirability.
