3) Babes, who are a self-described “locomotive sex drive down a trail of tears.", are a new band from L.A. consisting of four guys and one lady. Babes only consists of only one female member: keyboardist Sarah Rayne. Along with her brothers (Aaron and Zach) and her two “blood brothers” Bryan Jeffrey (formerly of Owls) and Jeffrey John, the Silver Lake quintet claims to be reformed punks now devoted to pop –but with a frivolous approach. For proof go ahead and call/text the band’s hotline at 470-Babes-77 or watch the odd music video featuring Eric Wareheim (of Tim & Eric) for their dreamy ballad “Die”. Babes’ self-titled debut EP was released on Tuesday, May 27th 2014 via Harvest Records.

Hey My Man
Babes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you even listenin'?
Do you really know
what you're even missin'?
Do you really cry
when you're all alone?
Do you really cry?
Turn on the shower.
Wash your face
‘til you're clean as a flower.
Are you all alone?
And you wanna cry
when you're all alone.
Every day's a new chance to get--
Every day's a new chance to get up.
Ooh. Up. Ooh.
Here's my plan:
Let's take out all our money
piss it all away
‘cause we think it's funny.
You can be alone
while I wanna sigh.
You can be alone.
Every day's a new chance to get--
Every day's a new chance to get up.
Ooh. Up. Ooh. Up. Ooh. Up.
In "Hey My Man," Babes addresses a man who seems to be lost and disconnected from the world around him. The lyrics begin with a series of questions directed at the man: "Hey, my man. Are you even listenin'? Do you really know what you're even missin'? Do you really cry when you're all alone?" The singer is trying to reach out to the man and connect with him on an emotional level.
The chorus of the song offers a glimmer of hope: "Every day's a new chance to get up." The song suggests that the man can overcome his troubles and find a way to move forward. The second verse encourages the man to take some time for self-care: "Fill the drain. Turn on the shower. Wash your face ‘til you're clean as a flower." The song seems to be a plea for the man to take steps to improve his situation and find some joy in life.

Everything Jacqueline says sounds right to me except instead of:
"Here’s my plan:
Let’s take all our money,
invest it all away
‘cause we think it’s funny.
You can be alone
while I wanna sigh.
You can be alone."
I hear:
Here’s my plan:
Let’s take all our money,
Piss it all away
‘cause we think it’s funny.
You can be alone
while I'm by your side.
You can be alone.
