Dysentery Gary
Blink 182 (By Victor BOI) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's a fucking weasel
His issues make my mind ache
Want to make a deal
'Cause I love your little motions
You do with your pigtails
What a nice creation
Worth another night in jail
He's a player, diarrhea giver
Tried to grow his hair out
When friends were listening to Slayer
I would like to find him Friday night
Hanging out with mom and trying on his fathers tights
Life just sucks, I lost the one, I'm giving up she found someone
There's plenty more, girls are such a drag
So all you little ladies
Be sure to choose the right guys
You'll come back to me maybe
I'll shower you with lies
Got a lotta heart ache
He's a fucking weasel
Decisions make my mind ache
Want to make a deal
Ease away the problems and the pain
The girl chose the one guy who makes you want to kick and scream
All along, you wish that she would stay
Fuck the guy who took and ran away
He's a player, diarrhea giver
Tried to grow his hair out
When friends were listening to slayer
I would like to find him Friday night
Hanging out with mom and trying on his fathers tights
Life just sucks, I lost the one, I'm giving up she found someone
There's plenty more, girls are such a drag
Fuck this place, I lost the war
I hate you all, your mom's a whore
Where's my dog?
'Cause girls are such a drag
In "Dysentery Gary," Blink 182 sings about heartache caused by a "fucking weasel" who is also a "diarrhea giver." The singer hates this guy for good reason: he's a player who tries to be something he's not. The lyrics speak to the frustrations of being in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings, while also acknowledging the difficulties of finding the right person to love. The singer also vents his anger at women, calling them a "drag" and claiming that he's giving up on finding love altogether.
Despite the song's harsh language and angry, cynical tone, it has a self-awareness that is characteristic of Blink 182's music. The band's brand of pop punk is known for its humor, honesty, and willingness to be vulnerable. "Dysentery Gary" is a perfect example of this: a song that is unapologetically raunchy yet also painfully relatable. Through their lyrics, Blink 182 effectively captures the angst and frustration of being young and in love (or, in this case, out of love).
