Cars
Blackbear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She thinks that ever after
She'll be living happily
And this sudden curiosity you have for me
Show me something 'bout your personality
Ooh, and these cars, and clothes and calories
To her it's just an everyday reality
So, what is you want, girl?
'Cause maybe it's the SoCo
Maybe it's the Hennessy
Maybe it's the fast life
Maybe it's the limousines
Maybe it's the good weed
Maybe it's the nicotine maybe she's a dancer
Maybe she's a beauty queen
All these cars and clothes and calories
(yeah)
All these, cars and clothes and calories
Yeah she only wants to fuck my ego
We all know everything there is to
Know about her: gold digger
As the pile of money gets bigger
All the girls get richer
Sip, sippin' on Conja like Luda
Have her feeling sweet like sugar
Lick it off your body
Drip it low, I can give you what you want
You could be my Christina Milian from 2004
(That was okay, yeah? I ain't playing
I'm for real)
Uh, yuh, I wanna make a request
I wanna feel blessed
I wanna get you out of that dress
It's all about the way that you move
To make a man wanna spend it on you
Work hard, play hard, that's what you do
And baby love, Miss Independent
Could do it on her own
But she feels like a princess
That's alright 'cause she takes the crown
Yeah, when she, uh
'Cause maybe it's the SoCo
Maybe it's the Hennessy
Maybe it's the fast life
Maybe it's the limousines
Maybe it's the good weed
Maybe it's the nicotine maybe she's a dancer
Maybe she's a beauty queen
All these cars and clothes and calories
All these, cars and clothes and calories
Yeah
The lyrics to Blackbear ft. Tyler Carter's song "Cars Clothes Calories" explore the essence of a young woman who is consumed by materialistic things like cars, clothes, and calories as if these had the power to guarantee her a life of permanent happiness. She seeks satisfaction in maintaining a certain lifestyle, and her curiosity in the persona of her suitor comes from a place of attraction to the life he lives, where the cars, clothes, and calories seem standard. The singer ponders what she wants from him, and slowly, with each verse, he pieces together that perhaps it's none of those things as he references different possibilities, such as the SoCo, Hennessy, good weed, or even her being a dancer or beauty queen. He eventually realizes that she only wants to satisfy him in a way that will boost his ego.
The song portrays a clear dichotomy between the singer's perspective and the girl's. He views her as a "gold digger" who will become richer as he becomes wealthier, while she sees these riches as a means to a happy ending. The line "It's all about the way that you move/ To make a man wanna spend it on you" is a painfully accurate depiction of the pressure that society places on women to be desirable, as the singer admits that he is attracted to her "moves" which he covets as simply a means of fulfilling his own desire.
With that in mind, the song becomes a commentary on the materialistic nature of society and relationships, as well as a reflection on the ways in which people portray themselves in order to attain these things. It raises questions about capitalistic tendencies and how they impact relationships.
