Big Boy
Aquarian Dream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What did it mean
May be not, yes, the cigarette machine
Big boy
Watching of the scene
Big boy,
Hey you, what's the score?
Never seen around here before
What's the score?
Staying in the shadows no one close,
Where he comes from where he goes,
Luck never facing front and back and nude,
Wouldn't you like to take him home with you.
Big boy,
Have you got a light?
You're the best thing I've seen here all night
Big boy,
Have you got a light?
Big boy,
You're turning me on
Let's go some place we can be alone
Big boy,
You're turning me on
May be I'm just a dreamer
A love what a dream it would be
Making love, making love, making love,
Making love to you!
That's all I wanna do!
(Donald Huber, Robert Keating)
(Vocals - Connie Harvey)
The song "Big Boy" by Aquarian Dream is a mysterious and seductive ode to a handsome stranger who catches the eye of the singer. The repetitive chorus of "Big boy, what's the score?" suggests that the singer is intrigued by this enigmatic figure and wants to find out more. The lyrics describe the big boy as someone who stays in the shadows and is always on the move, but also as someone alluring and captivating.
The second verse continues this theme of mystique, with the singer expressing a desire to take the big boy home with her. The lines "Luck never facing front and back and nude" suggest that the big boy is a risk-taker who lives life on his own terms, which only adds to his appeal. The chorus repeats again, with the singer asking for a light, and later proclaiming that the big boy is turning her on.
The final verse shows the singer as a dreamer who fantasizes about making love to the big boy. The repetition of "making love" reinforces the sensuality and intimacy of the song, while the line "That's all I wanna do" shows that the singer is completely consumed by desire. Overall, "Big Boy" is a moody and atmospheric track that captures the thrill of meeting someone new and exciting.
Line by Line Meaning
Big boy
Addressing a guy who is being watched
What did it mean
Asking the meaning behind his actions
May be not, yes, the cigarette machine
Speculating whether he's after a smoke or up to something else
Watching of the scene
Looking at what's going around him
Big boy, Hey you, what's the score?
Commanding his attention and asking him what he's up to
Never seen around here before
Noticing he's a stranger
Staying in the shadows no one close
Observing that he's trying to remain unnoticed and not interacting with anyone
Where he comes from where he goes
Wondering about his origins and where he's headed
Luck never facing front and back and nude
Noticing he's not particularly lucky, cautious or prepared for what life throws at him
Wouldn't you like to take him home with you.
Being attracted to him despite, or because of, his mysterious aura
Have you got a light?
Asking him for a light, using it as a pretext to converse
You're the best thing I've seen here all night
Flattering him and confessing that he caught her eye
You're turning me on
Expressing her physical attraction to him
Let's go some place we can be alone
Suggesting they get to know each other better and in private
Maybe I'm just a dreamer
Admitting that her imagination may be running wild
A love what a dream it would be
Fantasizing about a possible romantic relationship
Making love, making love, making love, Making love to you! That's all I wanna do!
Expressing her physical and emotional desire for him, and how it's her main goal
