Are You In The Mood
Bay Faction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it closer to the pavement?
Well, how'd you feel when they found out?
Who'd you tell, and how'd you face it?
But you said, "I guess I needed you
More than I thought"
But you don't think I'll feel it too
'Cause you're a boy
Are you in the mood?
If so, how long and for who?
'Cause I've been looking straight at you
I've been talking straight for you
Crack your knuckles in my mouth
Dry them off please as you pull them out
I just need to know how you sound
From the inside out
I guess I needed you
More than I thought
But you don't think I'll feel it too
'Cause I'm a boy'
Anyway are you in the mood?
If so, how long and for who?
'Cause I've been looking straight at you
Well I've been talking straight for you
The lyrics of Bay Faction's song "Are You In The Mood" appear to be a contemplation on a complicated relationship and the emotions that come with it. The first verse sets the scene, asking if something significant happened near the house or closer to the pavement, symbolizing whether the event took place within the confines of their relationship or was more public. The lyrics then question how the person felt when others found out about whatever transpired, and who they confided in and how they confronted the situation.
The chorus delves deeper into the complex dynamics of the relationship, with the singer expressing their own vulnerability and need for the other person. They mention that they thought they needed the other person more than they initially realized, but it seems that the other person doesn't believe the singer will feel the same level of need, dismissing them with the line "you're a boy." This line could imply that the person believes the singer's emotions are less significant or not as deeply felt because they are male.
The second verse introduces a more physical and intimate element to the lyrics. The singer asks the other person to crack their knuckles in their mouth, indicating a desire for intimacy and exploration. They express a curiosity about how the other person sounds from the inside out, as if wanting to understand them on a deeper level. The verse then circles back to the notion of needing the other person but feeling dismissed, emphasizing the gender dynamic once again with the line "I'm a boy."
Overall, the lyrics encapsulate the complicated emotions and power dynamics present in a relationship, particularly one where vulnerability and need are questioned based on gender.
