Please
Bolshoi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please Miss Lolita, don't make me burn my eyes [Repeat: x1]
I've been standing at the stage door
Waiting on my prize
So please Miss Lolita, don't make me burn my eyes

I've waited such a long time
I've waited such a long time, Please

Don't send me back to the cheap seats
Please Mistress Bacon, don't sell me to you son [Repeat: x1]
He's been hanging 'round the cat flap
Waiting for someone
So please Mistress Bacon, don't sell me to you son

I wait such a long time
I wait such a long time, Please

Don't send me out for a bite to eat
Please
Please Mr. Policeman, don't tell me to move along
I've been waiting for years just to hear my song

I've waited such a long time
I've waited such a long time, Please

Don't send me back to the city streets

Overall Meaning

The song "Please" by Bolshoi depicts the desperation of a fan who has been waiting for his idol, Miss Lolita, at the stage door for a long time, hoping to win her attention and perhaps even her love. The fan fears that his eyes will burn out from waiting too long or gazing at Lolita's beauty, which he fears might blind him. He pleads with her not to make him burn his eyes and instead give him a chance to prove his devotion. He has been waiting for so long, hoping for a glimpse of her, that he does not want to be sent back to the cheap seats or the city streets.

The fan's plea becomes more desperate as he begs Mistress Bacon, an unknown character, not to sell him to her son who has been waiting at the cat flap. He begs for a chance to win Lolita's attention in any way possible, rather than being sold away like an object. He also pleads with Mr. Policeman not to tell him to move along, as he has been waiting for years just to hear his song. The fan's plea to stay is fueled by his deep desire to be recognized by his idol, to have a moment to connect with her, to prove his worth and to let her know how much he has waited for her.

Overall, the song Please by Bolshoi serves as a reminder of how fans can become obsessed with their idols, devoting their lives and energy into patiently waiting for a moment in the spotlight. The song also highlights the dangers of obsession, reminding us to stay grounded and present in reality.
