Chocolate
Casey Bolles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh you bite your friends like chocolate
You say "we′ll go where nobody knows
With guns hidden under our petticoats"
No we're never gonna quit it
No we′re never gonna quit it
No
Now we run, run away
And my car smells like chocolate
Hey now think about what you do
Think about what to say
Think about how to think
Pause it, play it, pause it, play it, pause it
We go where nobody knows
With guns hidden under our petticoats
Oh we're never gonna quit it
No we're never gonna quit it
No
Well we′re dressed in black
Head to toe
Guns hidden under our petticoats
Oh we′re never gonna quit it
No we're never gonna quit it
No
We never gonna quit it
No we′re never gonna quit it
No you're never gonna quit it if you don′t Stop smokin' it
That′s what she said
She said we're dressed in black
Head to toe
Guns hidden under our petticoats
No we're never gonna quit it
No we′re never gonna quit it
No
Now we′re buildin' up speed as we′re approachin' a hill
Oh my hair smells like chocolate
Hey now you say you′re gonna quit it
But you're never gonna quit it
Gotta get it
Gotta get it
Gotta get it
Gotta get it
Go
Play it cool
We go where nobody knows
Guns hidden under our petticoats
No we′re never gonna quit it
No
Well we're dressed in black
Head to toe
With guns hidden under our petticoats
No we're never gonna quit it
No we′re never gonna quit it
No
Never gonna quit it
No you′re gonna quit it
No
I think we better go
Seriously better go
Feds are here, ya know
Seriously better go
I think we better go
Seriously better go
The feds are here, ya know
Seriously better go
We go where nobody knows
Guns hidden under our petticoats
Oh we're never gonna quit it
No we′re never gonna quit it
No
We're dressed in black
Head to toe
With guns hidden under our petticoats
Oh we′re never gonna quit it
No we're never gonna quit it
No
Seriously better go
Oh I think we better go
Seriously better go
Oh I think we better go
Seriously better go
Well the feds are here, ya know
Seriously better go
Well I think we better go
Seriously better go
Well I think we better go
Well I think we better go
The lyrics to Casey Bolles's song "Chocolate" tell a story of rebellion, escape, and the thrill of living outside the norms of society. The singer is in a situation where they feel confined and suffocated, represented by the line "You call it a split cause ya know that you will." They are seeking freedom and adventure, symbolized by the line "We go where nobody knows, with guns hidden under our petticoats." The use of "guns" here could be metaphorical, representing their determination and ability to fight against the constraints imposed on them.
The repetition of "No we're never gonna quit it" reinforces the singer's stubbornness and refusal to conform. They are determined to live life on their own terms, even if it means running away from authority figures represented by the "boys in the blue."
The line "And my car smells like chocolate" adds a sensory element to the story. It could suggest that the singer finds comfort and escape through indulgence or pleasure, like the tantalizing smell of chocolate. It could also imply that there is something secret and forbidden about their actions, just like the hidden guns.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and exhilaration. The repeated phrases, quick tempo, and the use of "pause it, play it, pause it, play it" create a sense of restlessness and excitement. The singer feels alive and liberated when they are on the run, ready to embrace the unknown and resist any attempts to control them.
Some possible interpretations of the song could be: the desire to break free from societal expectations, the search for personal identity and autonomy, or the craving for adventure and rebellion.
