Sour candy
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coffee stains, where oh I'm so tangled up in my
Big sunglasses and, bed hungry
Second day fair
No we went under
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad
We went under
I've been very cautious
Trying on this shed of pain
Your humor makes me, makes me nauseous
OU In a twisted, twisted, twisted game.
No we went under
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder
Mr. Don't Look So Scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad we went under
Ohhhhh get your self home
You leave him alone
On second thought
I regret the things to let,
Soo ohhh, oh ho
Sour Candy... endings
And I was barely even there.
No we went under,
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder,
Mr. Don't look so scared
I never knew I never knew
That I could be so sad so sad so sad so sad
So sad
We went under
The lyrics to Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Sour Candy" ft. Josh Ramsay depict a relationship that has come to an end. The song opens with the line "Sour Candy, ending," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is entangled in her thoughts and feelings as a result of the relationship, as indicated by the imagery of coffee stains and being tangled up in bed. She puts on big sunglasses to mask her pain from the world. The lyrics "Second day fair" suggest that this might be the second day of a fair, but it could also imply that things were fair between the couple until recently.
The chorus repeats the lines "No we went under, the weight was too much to carry in, I felt the thunder, Mr. Don't look so scared," and the repetition emphasizes the gravity of this situation. The singer never knew that she could be so sad, and the we went under implies that the relationship was doomed from the start or at least that it had failed.
The second verse suggests that the singer has been trying to avoid feeling the pain associated with the relationship. The line "I've been very cautious, trying on this shed of pain" implies that she has been attempting to protect herself by taking things slowly, but it hasn't worked. The final lines of the song suggest that she may have made some rash decisions and now regrets them.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship that has ended and the emotional turmoil that comes with it.

Sour candy endings
O doce azedo terminou
Coffee stains but where?
Manchas de café, mas onde?
Oh I'm so tangled up in my
Oh estou tão envolvida a minha volta
Big sunglasses and bed hungry second day fare
Óculos de sol e cama faminta, segunda tarefa do dia
No we went under, the weight was too much to carry on
Nós desabamos, o peso era demais para suportar e
I felt the thunder
Eu senti o trovão
Mister don't look so scared
Senhor, não fique tão assustado
I never knew, I never knew
Eu nunca saberia, eu nunca saberia
That I could be so sad we went under
Que eu poderia ficar tão triste, nós desabarmos
I've been very cautious
Eu fui muito cauteloso
Trying numbness instead of pain
Tentando entorpecimento ao invés da dor
All your humour makes me, makes me nauseous
E seu humor me causa, me causa enjoo
What a twisted twisted twisted game
Isso é uma torcida, torcida, torcida de jogo
No we went under, the weight was too much to carry on
Nós desabamos, o peso era demais para suportar e
I felt the thunder
Eu senti o trovão
Mister don't look so scared
Senhor, não fique tão assustado
I never knew, I never knew
Eu nunca saberia, eu nunca saberia
That I could be so sad we went under
Que eu poderia ficar tão triste, nós desabarmos
Oh get yourself home
Oh sairei da sua casa
You leave him alone
Vou deixá-lo sozinho
On second thought I regret the pink stiletto
Pensando bem eu lamento por não me arrepender
Ohh oohh ooo
Ohh oohh ooo
Sour candy endings...and I was barely even there
O doce azedo terminou... E eu estava mesmo mal lá
No we went under, the weight was to much to carry on
Nós desabamos, o peso era demais para suportar e
I felt the thunder
Eu senti o trovão
Mister don't look so scared
Senhor, não fique tão assustado
I never knew, I never knew
Eu nunca saberia, eu nunca saberia
That I could be so sad (we went under)
Que eu poderia ficar tão triste (nós desabarmos)
So sad (we went under)
Tão triste (nós fomos abaixo)
So sad (we went under)
Tão triste (nós fomos abaixo)
So sad (we went under)
Tão triste (nós fomos abaixo)
So sad we went under
Tão triste por irmos abaixo

Ada lovelace
@universalladyn THIS. I literally came to this video just now because the Carly only version was playing on my spotify and im like "I want to hear Josh" 🙈🙈
universalladyn
I wish this version was also available on Spotify. It’s the one I knew first so every time I’m startled to hear just Carly on that verse.
Em Narigon
Its been over ten years and this song still manages to get stuck in my head at least once a month
velvts
I think we are ignoring the fact that Josh is hilarious in this video, like he's even mouthing "DONT EVEN"
Jessie Hello
I watched this for Josh Ramsay. I feel like people don't appreciate how fantabulous he is which he clearly demonstrates in this video. He needs way more than 15 minutes of fame.
Fancy_Music
He is the definition of fantabulous!
