Tilt
Beefy Lyrics

Happened last year when I met you down at Ground Kontrol
Refers to when the singer first played pinball at Ground Kontrol and got hooked

Fatty climbed the stairs with ten dollars wrapped up in a roll
The singer had a lot of cash on him when he first played pinball at Ground Kontrol

Harmless flirting, dropped my coins all up in your receptacle
Refers to the singer inserting coins into the pinball machine in a playful manner

One year later got me more retarded than a vegetable
After playing pinball for a year, the artist has become addicted to it and feels like he has lost control of his life

From the first time that I pulled back the plunger and you know I let it go
Refers to the artist's first time playing pinball and being captivated by the game

I knew that I had lost it and I knew that you had gained control
The singer has become addicted to pinball and feels like the game now has control over him

In the beginning I could see you on and off for a week
Refers to the singer's initial experience with pinball, where he played it sporadically

Now if I don’t hit a bumper than I can’t fall asleep
The artist has become so addicted to pinball that he can't sleep unless he's played it

Kept telling all my friends that I could stop when I wanted
The artist initially thought he could stop playing pinball whenever he wanted, but has now realized he's addicted

Addictive personality yo I’ve been trainspotted
The artist has a highly addictive personality and has now become addicted to pinball

Should have stopped coming back when you went from a hobby to a lifestyle
The singer should have stopped playing pinball when it became a major part of his life instead of just a hobby

I got pictures of me playing you up on my profile
The artist is so obsessed with pinball that he has pictures of himself playing it on his social media profile

AIM handle: PinballFanatic81
The singer's AIM handle reflects his obsession with pinball

I’ve played this game for one year and you know I’ve never won
The singer has been playing pinball for a year but has never won a game

First time I placed my hands upon you know I broke into a cold sweat
Refers to the singer's initial experience playing pinball and realizing how addicting it was

Not knowing in the future that it’d be something I’d regret
The artist did not anticipate how addicted he would become to pinball

From taking cold showers, to hating you for hours
The artist has a love-hate relationship with pinball and sometimes feels frustrated by his addiction

I love you and if I died you wouldn’t even send me flowers
The singer is jokingly comparing his love for pinball to a romantic relationship, but acknowledges that the game doesn't care about him

And obviously I’m not the only man in your life
The singer is aware that other people also play the pinball machine he's addicted to

Three more entries in your top score after I had left last night
Someone else beat the artist's high score on the pinball machine he's addicted to

And it’s pointless even starting one real fight with you
The artist is acknowledging that he can't really wage war against the pinball machine and his addiction to it

Cause you’re a robot and you’re heartless and you don’t even care
The artist is comparing the pinball machine to a robot because it has no emotions or desires

You’re not aware, of this giant cross that I have to bare
The singer is frustrated that no one else understands the weight of his addiction to pinball

The customers see me weeping, yo, they come up and stare
The artist is so engrossed in playing pinball that he sometimes gets emotional and has caught the attention of other people at the arcade

And it's not fair, but I think you like me demented
The singer thinks the pinball machine somehow enjoys the fact that he's become crazy addicted to it

You’re like the single coldest parlor game like ever invented
The singer thinks pinball is the coolest game ever invented, but acknowledges the dangers of an addiction to it

And I wanna end it, rip you up and tear you to pieces
The singer is torn between his love for pinball and his desire to break his addiction to it

Bust ya wide open just to see what releases
The artist is so addicted to pinball that he's willing to destroy the machine to see what makes it tick

And she send me love in the form of multiball action
The artist feels like he's getting affection from the pinball machine when he triggers a multiball sequence

Not an everyday distraction, I just love it with a passion
The singer is acknowledging that playing pinball is more than just a casual hobby for him - it's something he's passionate about

Late at night I lay in bed and dream about the flipper
The singer is so addicted to pinball that he even dreams about it

You can check out all the pictures that I’ve posted on Flickr
The artist has shared his love for pinball with others online by posting pictures of himself playing it

Because she’s always there for me at the end of a long day
The artist finds comfort in playing pinball when he's had a long day

And I’m the only one I know that’s gotten 80 free plays
The artist is proud of the fact that he's played pinball so much that he's gotten free plays on the machine

I'm hitting up these bumpers, matching up the numbers
The singer is describing his strategy for playing pinball - hitting the bumpers to rack up points

Circuits in this cabinet but you know that I love her
The artist acknowledges that it's the pinball machine's electronic circuits that make it so appealing to him

These sounds they drive me crazy, come and save me I’m a baby
The singer loves the sound effects in pinball and feels like a child when he hears them

But she never comes to slay me just because she thinks I’m lazy
The singer is acknowledging that the pinball machine doesn't really care about him and will never harm him, even if he plays it too much

Loving every flash of light while I’m screaming out TILT!
The singer is so obsessed with pinball that he even enjoys the moments when the machine goes into TILT mode
