Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said hey man hey man
Don't you ever understand
Why you are alone
Even at your home
Hey man hey man
You always let me know
That i look so cheapo
Hey man hey man
You never threat me good
Why should you
Well i dont know
Hey man hey man
You always let me know that i'm no good
Hey man hey man you never threat me well
Why should you
Well i don't know
Hey man hey man
You never rang my bell
Well why should you
Well why should you
Where i belong
Not in your arms i know
But i need to be loved
Like everybody else
She said hey man hey man
Don't you never understand
Why you are alone
Even at your home
Hey man hey man
Don't you ever understand
What went wrong
Well you should know
Hey man hey man you always let me know
That i'm no good that i'm no cool
That i'm cheapo
Hey man hey man you never
Let me love you
Just that i'm no good that i'm no cool i'll do the walk.
The lyrics to 22-Pistepirkko's song Hey Man tell the story of a woman who is constantly criticized and belittled by the man she is with. She pleads with him to understand why he treats her so poorly and why he seems to always leave her feeling alone, even when they are together. Despite her efforts to express her need for love and affection, the man continues to make her feel insignificant and unwanted. She acknowledges that she may not belong in his arms, but she still longs to be loved like everyone else.
The song seems to be an introspective look at the dynamics of a toxic relationship where one person is constantly undermining the other's worth and self-esteem. The woman in the lyrics is trying to figure out why the man she is with is treating her so poorly, but she is met with indifference and cruelty. The lyrics highlight the importance of communication and understanding in a relationship, and the damaging effects that neglect and emotional abuse can have on a person.
Overall, Hey Man is a powerful commentary on the complexities of human relationships and the all too common issue of emotional neglect and abuse. The lyrics are poignant and thought-provoking, conveying a sense of sadness and yearning for something that seems just out of reach.
