Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lonely guy I am, I wait for her change
I've been here two days, I'll sure be here tomorrow
I'd eat her out if she were on my dinner plate
[Chorus]
(And I wish)
I wish she'd be more kind now
I've seen everything there is to be shown
I followed her all the way home
I can't be too cool in a tree with my pants down
The air is cold and I've got splinters in my feet
She caught me once, but I don't think that she cares now
Unlike before, her view is now blocked by a leaf
[Chorus]
I bet this last time's the one time too many
The rush of waiting is burning through my head
Right after supper her brother shower's twice a week
He kicks my ass so much, that filthy white inbred
I've made mistakes by looking in the wrong window
Her dad is big and I've never seen his face
I've been here two days, and I'll sure be here tomorrow
My lady's so sweet, she likes to entertain
[Chorus]
I bet this last time's the one time too many
The rush of waiting is burning through my head
Right after supper her brother shower's twice a week
He kicks my ass so much, that filthy white inbred

The song "Voyeur" by Blink-182, featured on the album Dude Ranch, is a commentary on the unhealthy obsession with a female subject that the singer is experiencing. The opening lines suggest that the girl he is spying on may be experiencing some sort of emotional pain. The singer admits to waiting for her to change clothes and to following her all the way home. He even goes so far as to say he would "eat her out" if given the chance. The chorus reveals his hope that the girl he is spying on will be kinder to him, despite the fact that he has seen everything there is to see through her window blinds.
In the second verse, the singer finds himself in a compromising position, regretting his decision to climb a tree with his pants down. He acknowledges that the girl caught him but doesn't seem to care anymore. Her view is now blocked by a leaf, suggesting that she has taken measures to avoid being spied on. The last verse describes the dangers the singer faces while spying on this girl; her brother catches him and beats him up, and her father is a looming presence that he has yet to see.
Overall, "Voyeur" is a song that critiques the invasive nature of voyeurism and the toxicity of obsession. The singer's actions are wrong, and his thoughts and words are objectifying, but it is clear that he is experiencing a deep longing for human connection that he doesn't know how to express in healthy ways.
