Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I left you in the dust and that's where ya stay.
Ya never matterd anyway.
You don't really know how to play the game.
If I shed my skin, I won't feel...
(if I shed my skin)
If I close my eyes, I won't see you...
(if I close my eyes)
(if I close my ears)
If I shut my mouth I won't tell the truth...
You have a venemouse tongue.
You "deserve" an irom lung...
You spend your time obsessing-
And your hate will never let you be.
If I shed my skin, I won't feel...
(if I shed my skin)
If I close my eyes, I won't see you...
(if I close my eyes)
If I cover my ears then I won't hear you...
(if I close my ears)
If I shut my mouth I won't tell
The truth...about you.
In Bif Naked's song If I, the lyrics are a powerful response to an individual who has caused hurt and frustration in the singer's life. The song immediately starts by drawing a line in the sand, with the singer stating that she has moved on and left the person in the past where they belong. The lyrics then become more aggressive, calling out the individual's inability to understand the rules of the game - perhaps in reference to relationships or life in general.
The chorus of the lyrics then explores the concept of shedding one's skin, closing one's eyes, covering one's ears or shutting one's mouth. Each of these metaphors represents a way to protect oneself and distance oneself from the toxic individual. By shedding skin, the singer won't feel the pain caused by the individual. By closing her eyes or ears, she won't see or hear the individual's hateful words or actions. And by shutting her mouth, she won't tell the truth about the individual - perhaps indicating that she won't speak out against them anymore.
The singer's frustration with the individual is evident in the lyrics, with references to their venomous tongue and their obsession with hate. The song ends on a strong note - declaring that the truth won't be told about the individual, and that they will no longer continue to cause pain or hurt to the singer.
