Hugs From Boys
Braid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My self-confidence
And you said I should have more
I was only kidding when I said
Blind date
Sitting in your car
You got angry and hit my arm
Dashboard hugs from drunk boys
Got angry and hit the dashboard
I didn't want to talk about it
You didn't want to hear about it
Stare at the road I'm honored
There on the road my solemn word
Stare at the road I'm honored
Stay in my blood too long
I'm there on the road and honored
Fear of the road my solemn word
It stayed in my blood your honor
Too long
Said you liked hugs from boys
But I never saw them
I never saw them
But I knew they were there
In Braid's song "Hugs From Boys," the singer is reflecting on a past relationship and the impact it had on their self-confidence. The lyrics suggest that this relationship was not a healthy one, as the partner did not do much to restore the singer's self-confidence. Despite this, the partner suggested that the singer should have more self-confidence.
The song also touches on a specific incident where the singer joked about a blind date, causing their partner to become angry and hit their arm. This incident is followed by the line "dashboard hugs from drunk boys," suggesting that this type of behavior from the partner was not a one-time thing and that they were often reckless when it came to physical contact.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Stare at the road I'm honored / There on the road my solemn word / Stare at the road I'm honored / Stay in my blood too long / I'm there on the road and honored / Fear of the road my solemn word / It stayed in my blood your honor / Too long." These lyrics could be interpreted as the singer feeling trapped and alone in this relationship, with the road symbolizing a sense of freedom and escape.
Overall, "Hugs From Boys" is a song about the effects of a toxic relationship on one's self-confidence and mental well-being. It highlights the importance of acknowledging and leaving unhealthy situations.
