Whistleblower
Bonaparte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she bites her pouty red lips, is smoking camels mostly
she's never been much good at being too lonely
only she knows when it's gonna go off
Above the candy store she found a new face to spit on
she slaps it on, she always knows a warm lap to sit on
that hunger never dies, there's nothing she's afraid of
Whistle blower - blows her whistle - whistle blower
whistle blower - blows her whistle - whistle blower
Her love for you will always be one of no conditions
you look at her, she smiles a smile, a roomful of ambition
walking disaster but you're worse off when she's talking
only she knows when it's gonna go off
Whistle blower - blows her whistle - whistle blower
whistle blower - blows her whistle - whistle blower
You soak her up like a sponge - a sponge that's ready to drown
you lift her up and she pulls - she pulls you right back down
that hunger never dies there's nothing she's afraid of
only she knows when it's gonna go off
Whistle blower - blows her whistle - whistle blower
The lyrics to Bonaparte's "Whistleblower" paint a vivid picture of a woman who is both alluring and dangerous. The singer watches her every move, noting her pouty red lips and smoking habit. She doesn't like being alone and always finds someone to be with, even if it means spitting on a new face. But despite her reckless tendencies, she is fiercely independent and knows exactly when things are going to go off.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "whistleblower blows her whistle," suggesting that this woman is not afraid to speak out against injustice. However, given her tendency towards self-destructive behavior, it's unclear what her motivations are for speaking out. Perhaps she is simply looking for attention, or perhaps she genuinely wants to make a difference in the world.
Overall, "Whistleblower" is a complex exploration of a character who is both captivating and dangerous. The lyrics suggest that this woman is always on the edge of something, and it's up to the listener to decide whether that something is good or bad.
