Girl
3.5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they tell me it's 4:21
And the snakes are all shedding the light
While I stockpile secrets
Alone in my darkness
I'm searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in style
There are no pretty girls
How come?
For the State of the Union Address
He'll be dressin' himself for the press
They'll be pressing him up to confess
That the state of the union's a mess
And the point is
He's searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in syle
In the ninth grade of Hell where he's from
There are no pretty girls
How come?
There's a man overboard underneath
That don't shut up
Oddly enough he can't speak
But that's not enough
Melody might spring a leak
They can't shut off
A ship slowly sinking at sea
We self destruct
Well they came in the dead of the night
And they looked to be looking to fight
So I challenged the lead to the line
And he broke me like glass
As he passed into presently
Searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in style
In the ninth grade of Hell where they're from
There are no pretty girls
How come?
Well I'm searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in style
In the ninth grade of Hell where I'm from
There are no pretty girls
How come?
The lyrics of this song by 3.5, titled "Girl," are complex and poetic. The singer speaks of feeling isolated and alone, searching for happiness in a crowd that seems to have none. He mentions the snakes shedding light, which could signify that the truth is being revealed or that people are exposing their true nature. The singer also speaks of stockpiling secrets, suggesting that he is carrying a heavy burden of information that he cannot share with anyone. He is alone in his darkness, suggesting that he feels lost and disconnected from the world.
The singer also speaks of the State of the Union Address, where the politician will dress up for the press and confess that the state of the union is a mess. This could be interpreted as a commentary on politics and the state of the world. He searches for a smile in the crowd, but he cannot find any pretty girls in style. This may suggest that he is searching for love or companionship, but he cannot find it in his current environment. He feels trapped in the ninth grade of Hell where he comes from, and he wonders why there are no pretty girls. This could be a metaphor for feeling stuck in a place where happiness and love are hard to come by.
In the final verse, the singer speaks of a man overboard who cannot speak and a ship slowly sinking at sea. This could represent the singer's own feelings of being lost at sea and adrift in his life. The ship self-destructs, suggesting that the singer's world is falling apart around him. The song ends with the singer searching for a smile in the crowd once more and finding no pretty girls. He wonders again why this is and feels lost and alone.
Line by Line Meaning
Well I don't really know what I've done
I am unaware of what actions I have taken
But they tell me it's 4:21
I have been informed that it is the time of 4:21
And the snakes are all shedding the light
Those who are deceitful are revealing the truth
While I stockpile secrets
I hide and accumulate confidential information
Alone in my darkness
I am secluded in my misery
I'm searching the crowd for a smile
I am seeking happiness in others
But there are no pretty girls in style
There are no attractive females present
In the ninth grade of Hell where I'm from
The place where I am from is a miserable environment
There are no pretty girls
There are no attractive females present
How come?
I am questioning the reason behind the absence of attractive females
For the State of the Union Address
Regarding the speech that addresses the country's status
He'll be dressin' himself for the press
He will be presenting himself suitably for the media
They'll be pressing him up to confess
They will pressure him to admit to wrongdoing
That the state of the union's a mess
The current condition of the nation is not good
And the point is
The matter at hand is
There's a man overboard underneath
A person has fallen into the water
That don't shut up
He continues to talk excessively
Oddly enough he can't speak
Ironically, he is unable to communicate effectively
But that's not enough
Despite this, it is not adequate
Melody might spring a leak
Musicality might deteriorate or fail
They can't shut off
They are unable to turn off
A ship slowly sinking at sea
A vessel that is gradually submerging in water
We self destruct
We are causing ourselves to fall apart
Well they came in the dead of the night
They arrived during the early hours of the morning
And they looked to be looking to fight
They seemed to want to engage in combat
So I challenged the lead to the line
Therefore, I confronted the leader of the group
And he broke me like glass
He shattered my confidence and strength
As he passed into presently
As he moved on to the current moment
Searching the crowd for a smile
Looking for happiness in others
But there are no pretty girls in style
There are no attractive females present
In the ninth grade of Hell where they're from
The place where they are from is a miserable environment
There are no pretty girls
There are no attractive females present
How come?
They are questioning the reason behind the absence of attractive females
Well I'm searching the crowd for a smile
I am looking for happiness in others
But there are no pretty girls in style
There are no attractive females present
In the ninth grade of Hell where I'm from
The place where I am from is a miserable environment
There are no pretty girls
There are no attractive females present
How come?
I am questioning the reason behind the absence of attractive females
