BOY
Cheeky Cheeky and The Nosebleeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The horror's not there, and if it is, it doesn't show
And it's a great life, do you give a shit
Cause from where I'm standing it doesn't look
It doesn't look like it
Why do you talk like that
It's not like you're in trouble yet, boy
And is it a drag for you, to live like that
A (?) sensation where your (?) should be
Why don't you ask someone what they think
Cause it's a grey old day, boy, where you are
Where where where you are
Why do you talk like that
It's not like you're in trouble yet, boy
These lyrics from Cheeky Cheeky and The Nosebleeds' song "Boy in 2-3" appear to be addressing someone who is seen as unusual or different in some way. The singer is questioning why this person talks the way they do, suggesting that there may be something unusual or unsettling about their manner of speech. However, the singer also acknowledges that the "horror" that might be associated with this person is not immediately apparent - in fact, they seem to be living a good life from the outside.
The singer then asks whether it is difficult for the person to live in this way, suggesting that they may feel a kind of emptiness or numbness inside. They encourage this person to ask for feedback from others about their behavior and choices, implying that they might need to make some changes in order to feel more fulfilled.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be exploring themes of alienation, conformity, and the search for meaning and connection in a world that can be both overwhelming and indifferent.
