But in choir, you were encouraged to be a loud, stupid ass-hole, especially in sunday school choir. That was the bright spot in the church service. I could be completely obnoxious and people fully embraced it. But years later I discovered that I actually really enjoyed singing. Eventually, it became more about sounding good than sticking out. In 8th grade I began taking guitar lessons and hunting down guitar tabs of every fast, machine-gun lick I could find.
Since learning how to play guitar when I was 15, I've been writing songs. Some of them are funny, and some (intentionally and unintentionally) are not.
Concentration
Chad Neidt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People drowning everywhere because there was a flood
New born puppies burning in the fire place
Crying uncontrollably cause I was sprayed with mace
I know it all sounds awful it makes my senses numb
But this is what I think of when I have sex and I don't wanna cum
Just yet
I'll think of starving children, I'll think of Ghangis Khan
I'll try my best to focus, remember not to flex
But most of all I'll think of anything but sex
Carmen Electra, Halle Berry
Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Connelly
Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman
Eva Longoria and Charlize Theron
These women all turn me on at a faster rate
So I think about them when I fuck an ugly girl
Oh no
Angelina Jolie, Rebecca Romijn
Demi Moore in Striptease but not in G.I. Jane
I'll try my best to focus, keep my mind on the prize
Cause it will go for nothing if I open my eyes
I open my eyes
Oops I opened my eyes
And fucked an guy
The opening lines of the song 'Concentration' by Chad Neidt, immediately take us to a dark and disturbing place. The bizarre lyrics depict images of death, destruction, and suffering where little babies are dying by coughing up blood, people drowning in floods, newborn puppies being burnt in the fireplace, and the singer crying uncontrollably because he was sprayed with mace. The lyrics are disturbing and make the listener wonder why the writer is talking about such awful events. However, soon, we realize that Chad Neidt is using these dark images to describe his struggle with premature ejaculation. He says that he thinks of all these terrible things when he has sex and doesn't want to cum so that he can control his orgasm.
Chad Neidt's lyrics are reflective of a larger societal problem where people are ashamed to talk about their sexual problems openly. Rather than seeking help or talking to their partners, many people suffer in silence, and the problem persists. The song is both funny and sad at the same time. It's funny because of the absurd juxtaposition of terrible events with sex and sad because it highlights the larger issue of a lack of sex education and resources to talk openly about sexual problems.
