Thirsty
AJR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
I'm up and I raise my cup, singing everything is gold
Crew neck and a white blank check
I walked on sippin' on that love
It's another bumpy road
But I'm up and I raise my cup and I wanna take her home
(Yo-del-lay ho)
I run my mouth
Don't got a lot to say
Girl on fire
Could burn my heart away
We are young
But we can make it rain
It's thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
I'm up and I raise my cup, see 'em bouncin' on the floor
Perfume in a hotel room
We go bouncin' back for more (yo-del-lay ho)
One us sippin' on that fun
It's a feeling we adore
But I'm up and I raise my cup and I wanna take her home
(Yo-del-lay ho)
I run my mouth
Don't got a lot to say
Girl on fire
Could burn my heart away
We are young
But we can make it rain
It's thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (Thursday)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (yo-yo-yo-del-lay ho)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
We're so thirsty
Can't no one stop me
Keep on bouncin'
Like no one's watching
We're so thirsty
Can't no one stop me
Keep on bouncin'
Like no one's watching
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
(Thirsty, thirsty Thursday)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (we're so thirsty)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (can't no one stop me)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (keep on bouncin')
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
The lyrics of AJR's "Thirsty" are about a failed relationship and the feeling of moving on from it. The world is referred to as a "marble heart", which symbolizes the idea that the world can be hard and cold at times. The singer expresses his dissatisfaction with the way things have turned out, and suggests that his partner couldn't handle the intensity of their relationship. He feels that he needs to forget about her, and emphatically says that he is better off without her.
The chorus reinforces this idea, with the singer going back to the beginning, to what the partner denied from the start. He asserts that she can no longer break his heart. The marble heart imagery returns, as he suggests that the world is full of bullsh*t and there is no chance of regrowing what was lost. In the end, he reiterates that he is better off without his partner, and that she can no longer break his heart.
Overall, "Thirsty" is a song about moving on from a failed relationship and finding strength in oneself. It has a bittersweet tone, with the pain of the past still lingering but tempered by a newfound resolve.
Line by Line Meaning
The world is a marble heart
The world is cold, hard, and unforgiving.
Too fragile, too broken
It's vulnerable and damaged, making it easy to cause harm.
Left without nothing but our bags to hold on to
We've lost everything and can only carry what we have left.
Yeah out in the daylight
We're exposed and vulnerable during the day.
And out of the jungle
We've escaped danger, but it's still lurking somewhere.
We could have been, we should have been
We had potential and opportunities, but they didn't work out.
What your heart couldn't handle
Our relationship was too much for you to handle emotionally.
Feel like I need, to forget you
I want to forget about you and move on.
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
I was responsible for pushing you away and now I regret it.
Now you found some other man, you see
You've moved on to someone else, and I see that now.
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!
You're better off with someone else because I wasn't the right person for you.
(My oh my) I'm going back now
I'm looking back on the past and reflecting on my mistakes.
(Right all right) To the beginning
I want to go back to the start and try again.
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
I'm questioning why we couldn't make it work from the beginning.
And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
I'm done with getting hurt by you and won't let it happen again.
And now you can't go breaking my heart.
I won't let you break my heart again.
The world is a marble heart
The world is still cold and unforgiving.
It's bullshit and we know it
We know that the world can be harsh and unfair.
Like a flower sheltered in stone
Our vulnerability is hidden inside a tough exterior.
With no chance of regrowing
It seems impossible for us to recover from past heartbreak.
Like push comes to shove
When things get tough, we have to fight for survival.
Like I'm out on your doorstep
I'm vulnerable and exposed in front of you.
With only my soul left.
I've lost everything except for my spirit and strength.
Now you can't go breaking my heart.
I won't let you hurt me again.
