Leo
BARB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Works out everyday
Thinks about what he'll say
When he is on the big screen
He's such a fancy actor
And finding styley shoots
Leo, Leo
Leo
He such a fancy actor
Very goods endings
Leo Leo
Take me down to the washing house
Folding all the time
Folding all the time
Folding all the time
Leo
The lyrics to BARB's song "Leo" depict a Hollywood actor, Leo, who takes his craft seriously. The opening lines describe him as a brilliant actor who works out every day and carefully considers what he will say on the big screen. The singer observes that Leo is a "fancy actor" who seeks out stylish photo shoots that capture his persona. The repetition of his name serves as both an acknowledgement of his fame and an attempt to capture his essence in a single word.
Later in the song, the lyrics take a surreal turn as the singer implores Leo to "take me down to the washing house." The act of folding becomes a recurring motif, suggesting perhaps the cyclical nature of showbiz or the need for actors to continuously reinvent themselves.
Overall, "Leo" is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the world of Hollywood and the cult of celebrity. The lyrics play with themes of performance, identity, and transformation, tapping into both the glamour and absurdity of the entertainment industry.
