Blue Franklin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lookin' for a disassociated lover (oh, yeah)
You get frustrated 'cause you used to be a stunner (oh, wow)
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
Little younger (little younger)
Little younger
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
Little younger
I think he, I think if you were a little younger
Tell him you don't give a shit (bitch)
Hair flip, purse those lips (aww)
How about I give you a tip, bro?
Don't be such a prick, hoe
I just wanna feel my oats (no)
Why you tryna tug my throat? (slash)
You can be sly, but I see that white
Drippin' down and out your nose (whoa)
Hey baby, why's it so damn hard to get your number?
If you don't want me, then I'll go after your brother
You get frustrated 'cause you used to be a stunner
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
I think he, I think he, I think, I think he, I think he, I think
I think he, I think he, I think, I think he (little younger)
I think he, I think he, I think, I think he, I think he, I think
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
Little younger
Little younger
Little younger
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
Wow, I'm so damn hot
Can I come to yours to spend the night?
I got a cool tattoo on my upper thigh
Why don't you look at it with your eyes?
In my bed, in my bed
Do you need me to say the rest?
No, that's fine
But I think I'd rather be with someone else instead, else instead
Hey, baby, I want something strong to put me under (oh, wow)
I'm lookin' for a disassociated lover (oh, yeah)
You get frustrated 'cause you used to be a stunner (oh, wow)
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
Little younger (little younger)
Little younger
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
Little younger (little younger)
Little younger
I think he, I think if you were a little younger
Call my type with the paper
Buy two doves and we turn it into vapor
Tap on tongue with the smoke ring chaser
Soon I'm a god, I'm the creator
I don't need to get no sleep (but yeah)
You don't know what I need (but yeah)
I don't need to get no sleep (but yeah)
You don't know what I need (bye!)
Hey baby, why's it so damn hard to get your number?
If you don't want me, then I'll go after your brother
You get frustrated 'cause you used to be a stunner
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
I think he, I think he, I think, I think he, I think he, I think
I think he, I think he, I think, I think he (little younger)
I think he, I think he, I think, I think he, I think he, I think
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
Little younger
Little younger
Little younger
I think he'd like you if you were a little younger
The song "Younger" by Blue Franklin is a sarcastic and satirical way of critiquing the unrealistic beauty standards that society has placed on women. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is looking for something strong to put them under, possibly indicating a desire to escape reality. They are then searching for a "disassociated lover," someone who is not fully present or connected emotionally, perhaps because they are also seeking to escape reality. The chorus repeats the line "I think he'd like you if you were a little younger," which is a commentary on the common expectation that women should look young in order to be attractive to men.
The second verse of the song continues the critique of societal beauty standards, with the singer sarcastically telling their potential lover to "tell him you don't give a sh*t" and to flip their hair and pout their lips. This is a reference to the performative nature of beauty and how women are expected to constantly perform femininity in order to be desirable. The verses continue to question the beauty standards placed on women, with lines like "why's it so damn hard to get your number?" and "I think I'd rather be with someone else instead" illustrating the pressure and frustration that women often feel when trying to live up to societal expectations.
Overall, "Younger" is a clever and biting critique of the way society treats women and the unrealistic standards that are placed upon them. By using sarcasm and humor, Blue Franklin is able to convey a powerful message about the pressures of beauty and the ways in which they can limit women's agency and autonomy.
