Oh No
Beep Beep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why should I fight this force that compels me
To make your lap a snack and your skin my religion?
I hear ringing in my ears, blood beating through my veins.
I'm having a tantrum.
My id is fucking screaming.
"Oh no!"
We got ourselves in a tangle like two strings braiding into rope.
Exposing ourselves to the elements,
For a second I was numb until my sense awoke.
Her lips! Hair! Eyes! Smell! Her clothes!
Voice! Breath! Nails!
Please eat the mints off your pillow.
Lay down while I play for you a guitar solo.
Hands need to touch you.
Hands will help us make love.
These lyrics are a deeply emotional expression of desire, passion, and frustration. The singer is waiting for their beloved to return home, unable to resist the intense pull they feel towards them. The use of the phrase "saving my strength" suggests a level of self-restraint, but it also implies that the singer is preparing themselves for an intense physical and emotional experience. They are surrendering to their desire, justifying it as a force beyond their control.
The lyrics describe a kind of desperation, with the singer invoking both their id and their physical senses to express their need for this person. The idea of making "your lap a snack" is a vivid and somewhat unsettling image, suggesting that the singer wants to consume the other person whole. The repetition of "oh no" throughout the song suggests a kind of mixed emotion - on the one hand, the singer is overwhelmed by their desire, but there is also a sense of fear or uncertainty about what will happen next.
The final stanza of the song takes a more tender tone, with the singer expressing a desire for physical connection and touch. The references to the other person's lips, hair, eyes, and smells suggest a deep intimacy and familiarity with their body, and the mention of a guitar solo adds a musical element to the song that emphasizes the unspoken connection between the two people.
Overall, this song is a raw and emotional expression of desire, passion, and longing, with potent imagery and vivid language that draws the listener into the singer's intense emotional world.
