No Advice
Bubblegum Octopus Lyrics

The lyrics of Bubblegum Octopus's song No Advice convey a sense of secrecy and the idea of holding something precious and intimate out of sight from the public. The first line "and...they will never know about the things we do in private" implies that there are aspects of the singer's personal life that they prefer to keep private, away from the prying eyes of others. This could be due to societal pressures or simply because the singer and their partner value their privacy. In the next line, the singer asserts "they will never understand I do it because I think you're beautiful", suggesting that the intimacy is motivated by an intense admiration for their partner's beauty. The closing phrase "Memories" indicates that these private moments are likely cherished memories that the singer will hold onto.

The second half of the song takes on a nostalgic tone as the singer reminisces about a relationship that was once "perfect," only to be undermined by a lack of interest from others. The line "No one ever asked us a question because they knew this was permanent" demonstrates that the relationship was so strong and well-established that nobody questioned its stability, but it also hints at the possibility of complacency and taking the relationship for granted. The overall sentiment is one of bittersweetness and a longing for what was lost.
