Belle
C. Willys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you get around here
That kind of ready-steady violence
That violent 'how do you do'
And the lie when his Daddy was asleep in a phone booth
He's just very very tired of having
That same old boring conversation
Man is on the nod yeah what you gonna do about it?
You know I love that violence
That you get around here
That kind of ready-steady violence
That violent 'how do you do'
And the lie when his Daddy was asleep in a phone booth
He's just very very tired of having
That same old boring conversation
Just like me, just like you
Man is on the nod yeah what you gonna do about it?
Is it easy?
Just to try it
Is it the same old line?
Well is it liberating?
Just to be so fine
Happens all the time
You know I love that violence
That you gather when the cartwheel blows down news
Of the marriage of the socialite's money to another one's land
And all but one will refuse to stand, yeah
He's just very ridiculed
And it's coming from the back row, side row, never-even-tried row
Nice man if you knew him well
I heard he owned a place called the Liberty Belle, yeah
Well is it easy?
I think I'll try it
'Cause it's the same old lie
I find it liberating
Just to be so fine
Happens all the time
Well come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Well come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
The lyrics to C. Willys's song Belle seem to explore themes of violence and the boredom that comes with living a monotonous life. The singer seems to express a fascination for the kind of violence that seems to be prevalent in the area they are in. They love the "ready-steady violence" that comes with the area and the "violent 'how do you do'" that seems to be familiar territory for them. The singer describes an incident where someone lied to their father who was asleep in a phone booth. This suggests that the kind of violence they are drawn to may not be necessarily physical as in this case, it could be verbal or emotional.
The lyrics further suggest that the subject of the song is tired of having the same boring conversations, just like the singer and the listener. The mention of the man being "on the nod" suggests that he may be taking drugs to escape the monotony of his life. The singer seems to be asking what we can do about this kind of life and whether trying to escape it is worth it. They ask if it is easy to try and whether it's worth the same old lies we tell ourselves to feel liberated. The mention of the Liberty Belle suggests that this may be a place where people go to escape their monotonous lives.
Some possible interpretations of the lyrics are that they could be a commentary on society's fascination with violence and how it draws people in, or they could be a commentary on how people turn to drugs to escape boredom and monotony. It could also be a commentary on how people lie to themselves to feel liberated and whether that liberation is worth its cost.
Line by Line Meaning
You know I love that violence
I am attracted to the excitement and chaos that surrounds me
That you get around here
I find this type of violence in this particular place
That kind of ready-steady violence
The violence I enjoy is predictable and expected
That violent 'how do you do'
A violent confrontation is like a greeting
And the lie when his Daddy was asleep in a phone booth
A specific instance of deceit amidst the chaos
He's just very very tired of having
He and I are both exhausted from the same old conversations
That same old boring conversation
We are tired of discussing the same mundane things over and over
Just like me, just like you
We can all relate to this exhaustion
Man is on the nod yeah what you gonna do about it?
We also have to deal with the problem of drug addiction
Is it easy?
Making change seems too difficult
Just to try it
But I'm going to attempt it anyway
Is it the same old line?
I'm afraid it will just be the same old story
Well is it liberating?
But maybe it will be freeing
Just to be so fine
To feel confident and empowered would be a nice change
Happens all the time
It's a common occurrence
That you gather when the cartwheel blows down news
There is a specific type of excitement when something big happens
Of the marriage of the socialite's money to another one's land
This excitement is often related to the mixing of wealth and power
And all but one will refuse to stand, yeah
But not everyone will approve
He's just very ridiculed
The man in question is frequently mocked
And it's coming from the back row, side row, never-even-tried row
Criticism is coming from all directions, even from those who have never tried themselves
Nice man if you knew him well
People used to think he was nice, if you knew him personally
I heard he owned a place called the Liberty Belle, yeah
Rumors were spreading around about a place he owned
Well come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
I invite others to join me in trying to make a change
Well come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's encourage each other to take action
