Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think I'm attractive
Do you think I'm lovely
Do you find me reactive
Do you think I...
Well do you think I'm a fool
How 'bout you
How 'bout it
Do you want to get loud
I just want to get loud
Do you want to get
Hey
Do you think it's a crisis
Do you think I'm gay
Do you think I'm lovely
What does it matter anyway
If I'm OK
If I'm OK
Do you want to get loud
Yes, I want to get loud
Do you want to get loud
I just want to get
Love, give me love, give me love
Yes I really want it
Love, give me love, give me love
Yes I really want it
Love, give me all you can
Yeah
Do you want to get loud
Yes, I want to get loud
Do you want to get loud
Yes, I want to get loud
Love, give me love, give me love

Yes I really want it
Love, give me love, give me love
Yes I really want it
The song "Loud" by Andy Stochansky is a reflection of the singer's desire for affirmation and validation from others. He questions whether he is attractive, lovely, reactive, or a fool. It is unclear whether these questions are directed towards a specific person or towards society as a whole, but the important thing is that the singer wants someone to answer them. He also addresses the issue of his sexual orientation and wonders if it matters to others. In the end, however, what he truly wants is love and acceptance, and he asks for it loudly.
The lyrics of "Loud" can be interpreted as a commentary on our society's obsession with appearances and labels. The singer is constantly questioning whether he fits into certain categories or meets certain standards, and he seems to be seeking validation from others. This reflects a larger societal issue, where people often feel pressure to conform to certain expectations and seek external validation to feel good about themselves. However, the ultimate solution is not to fit into these boxes or labels, but to seek love and acceptance for who we truly are.
Overall, "Loud" is a powerful song about the human need for validation and acceptance, as well as the struggle to find it. The singer's questions and desires are universal, and the song encourages us to be confident in ourselves and seek love above all else.
