Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Bif Naked's song Isabelle describe a nostalgic memory of the singer, taking us on a journey through a particular event that happened with her and her friend Neina. They were out walking and found themselves in an antique store where they discovered a box of orphaned teddy bears, one of which was wearing a red velvet dress and crying. The singer was immediately drawn to this bear and purchased it for $3.00. She and Neina continued their day, eating cookies, giggling, and kissing until the singer had to catch her bus home. On the bus, an old man with an un-shaven face and a hat covering his horns got on and looked at her in disapproval, stating, "My god, a teddy bear at your age!!!?"
To interpret the lyrics fully, we can gain insight into the nature of the singer. She is sentimental and empathetic, seeing the world through a lens of nostalgia and attachment to objects. She is also unapologetically childlike in her behavior, enjoying simple pleasures and expressing her emotions freely. We can see from the way she tries to signal her enthusiasm to Neina, through giggling and squealing, that she is not afraid of expressing herself fully. She is also someone who takes joy in giving a name to her cherished possessions, finding a perfect name in "Isabelle" given by her friend.
Overall, the song evokes feelings of sweetness, innocence, and joy for a time gone by. It tells a story of how seemingly small things can hold great significance in one's life, and how our view of what is appropriate for our age is often defined by societal norms rather than our own experience and feelings.
