Disco Shit
Cherub Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I know you think I'm crazy
But don't waste your time
Worrying about me baby,
'Cause I'm just sleep deprived
It gets so hard doing all these lines
Tryina keep up so we can both lose our minds

This is the Disco Shit,
That keeps you up all night
It makes you wanna move
And keeps you on cloud nine
This is the Disco Shit,
That makes you feel alive
It makes you forget I'm about the time

I hope you don't regret it,
'Cause fun is hard to find
And love is always easy
When drugs are on your mind
Nothing is wrong when you blow the lines
Pick a new song
I guess that this will do just fine

This is the Disco Shit,
That keeps you up all night
It makes you wanna move
And keeps you on cloud nine
This is the Disco Shit
That makes you feel alive
It makes you forget I'm about the time

This is the Disco Shit,
That keeps you up all night
It makes you wanna move
And keeps you on cloud nine
This is the Disco Shit,




That makes you feel alive
It makes you forget I'm about the time

Overall Meaning

The song "Disco Shit" by Cherub is about the wild and carefree lifestyle often associated with disco culture. The singer in the song is aware that their lifestyle may seem crazy to others, but they encourage others to not worry about them because they are just experiencing their own form of exhaustion, likely due to drug use. They speak of the high that drugs can give and how it makes them forget about time, and as the title suggests, it's the "disco shit" that keeps them up all night, makes them feel alive, and moves them to a cloud nine state.


The overall message of the song may be seen as controversial, as it encourages drug use and a carefree lifestyle. On the other hand, some may argue that the song merely describes one facet of the human experience and the freedom of choice that comes with it. Perhaps the song is not meant to be taken literally, but rather as a commentary on youth and living in the moment, without concern for the future.


In contrast to the heavy subject matter, the song features an upbeat, funky rhythm reminiscent of disco music from the 1970s. The use of electronic beats and synthesizers combined with the distorted guitar adds to the psychedelic feel of the song. The repetition of the phrase "disco shit" throughout the lyrics reflects the single-minded focus of the singer on the temporary high they are experiencing.

Underrated for sure. Childish Gambino released a new album and I couldn't help to think that Cherub was already incorporating funk and soul way before anyone else.
