Dropped
Phantom Planet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can swear I feel the beating of a cold cold heart
Or there's a chill, 'cause it's showing through your clothing
And as far as I can tell
There's nothing underneath your v-neck tee
I'm begging I'm begging
I'm begging you please now

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
Won't you stop teasing me
Won't you take it easy
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know

[Chorus]
You're never gonna go
Drop
What'cha
Got
Now

Everybody knows the way the eye goe
Moving like a curtain closes over the finale
From your head down to your toes
Up and down checking you out now beyond a doubt
Make a copy in the office for the desk with the windows
In the ivory dome
You've made it your home
See you in the sills
Smiling ear to ear
Never gonna go

Do you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
Won't you stop teasing me
Won't you take it easy
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know

[Chorus]

Tell me that you want me
Phantom Planet - Dropped
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
Won't you stop teasing me
Won't you take it easy
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know

[Chorus]

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
Now!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Phantom Planet's "Dropped" express the desire of the singer to know if the person they are interested in feels the same way they do. The singer describes how they can feel the "beating of a cold cold heart" or a "chill" coming from the person, which suggests their apprehension or indifference towards the singer. They also mention how they have been checking the person out "up and down," implying their physical attraction towards them.


The chorus, "You're never gonna go, Drop, What'cha Got, Now," is a repetition of the phrase "dropped" that is referenced in the title. It may refer to the singer's insistence on knowing the person's true feelings, or it could be interpreted as a metaphor for the person being dropped or let go of something, such as their guardedness or apprehension towards the singer.


Overall, the song expresses the singer's desire to know where they stand with the person they are interested in and their frustration with the person's reluctance to reveal their feelings. The lyrics are delivered in an upbeat, pop-rock style that contrasts with the potentially more serious nature of the subject matter.

This a truly great rock song. A real melody, functional lyrics, analogue instruments well played, & no auto-tune. How good can rock music be in 2021? And, this is from someone who is 72 years old, & who started playing guitar in the 1st Beatles Summer of 1964. I still play lead rock guitar today. This is good rock music. Hats off to the Phantom Planet guys, even if they are young, well, ... substantially younger than I am. Richard

This album was released in 2008. I pretty much grew up with this band so their music is really special to me. I'm glad older generations can also appreciate this art.

This has got to be one of the most well made music videos I've ever seen.
