Pepsi
Claud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instead of comin' over
I hate that I'm riding roller-skates
And you just bought a Ranger Rover
You're running from something
And it's stuck in your head
'Cause all I wanted was loving
Now I wish you the best
I don't wanna be rude but this song is for you
And you're losing my trust
I wanted to be cool
But I guess I'm a fool for falling into the lust
Maybe if I had walked you to the train where you left
Maybe if I had talked to you a little bit less
No, I wouldn't be stuck with such a stupid mess
But it's stuck in my head
I don't wanna be rude but this song is for you
And you're losing my trust
I wanted to be cool
But I guess I'm a fool for falling into the lust
I don't wanna be rude but this song is for you
And you're losing my trust (you never had my trust)
I wanted to be cool
But I guess I'm a fool for falling into the lust (I fell into the lust)
So I sit in my room
Watch the people go by
If I'm Pepsi
You're coke
We both know that I'm right
But this time
I don't mind
I wanted to be cool
But I guess I'm a fool for falling into the lust
The lyrics of Claud's song "Pepsi" express a sense of frustration and disappointment in a romantic relationship. The opening lines, "I hate that you told me to masturbate instead of comin' over," suggest a lack of emotional connection and intimacy. The singer feels disregarded and objectified, as their partner prioritizes their own desires over the singer's company. This is further emphasized in the line, "I hate that I'm riding roller-skates and you just bought a Range Rover," which highlights a stark contrast in priorities and lifestyles.
The lyrics continue to convey a sense of longing for a deeper connection and genuine affection. The phrase "You're running from something and it's stuck in your head" suggests that the partner may be avoiding emotional vulnerability or commitment. The singer admits that all they wanted was love but now wishes their partner the best, indicating a willingness to let go and move on.
The chorus reinforces the singer's frustration and realization of their own naivety. They express a desire to be cool and unaffected, but ultimately acknowledge their own foolishness for falling into the lustful trap of the relationship.
In the bridge section, the singer reflects on the potential ways they could have avoided the current situation. They contemplate the idea that if they had walked their partner to the train or talked to them less, they may not be stuck in this regretful mess. However, despite these regrets, the situation continues to consume their thoughts.
In the final verse, the singer finds solace in solitude. They sit in their room and observe the world around them, accepting the truth that they are Pepsi while their partner is Coke. The choice of these iconic soda brands symbolizes the inevitable differences and contrasts between them. But surprisingly, the singer concludes that they don't mind. They wanted to be cool, but they realize they were a fool for succumbing to lust, implying a newfound acceptance and self-awareness.
Overall, the lyrics of "Pepsi" explore themes of disappointment, self-reflection, and the challenges of navigating relationships with differing expectations and priorities.
Line by Line Meaning
I hate that you told me to masturbate
I dislike how you suggested I fulfill my desires alone
Instead of comin' over
Rather than spending time with me
I hate that I'm riding roller-skates
I dislike feeling unstable and uncertain
And you just bought a Ranger Rover
While you indulged in luxury
You're running from something
You're evading a certain issue
And it's stuck in your head
And it's constantly occupying your thoughts
'Cause all I wanted was loving
Because all I desired was affection
Now I wish you the best
Now I hope for your happiness
Oh, I wish you the best
Oh, I genuinely hope for your well-being
I don't wanna be rude but this song is for you
I don't intend to be impolite, but this song is dedicated to you
And you're losing my trust
And you're slowly losing my confidence
I wanted to be cool
I aspired to be calm and composed
But I guess I'm a fool for falling into the lust
However, I realize I made a foolish mistake by surrendering to desire
Maybe if I had walked you to the train where you left
Perhaps if I had accompanied you to the train station when you departed
Maybe if I had talked to you a little bit less
Maybe if I had restrained my conversations with you
No, I wouldn't be stuck with such a stupid mess
Then, I wouldn't be entangled in this foolish situation
But it's stuck in my head
But the situation continues to occupy my thoughts
You never had my trust
You never truly gained my confidence
I fell into the lust
I succumbed to desire
So I sit in my room
So I stay alone in my room
Watch the people go by
Observing the passing crowd
If I'm Pepsi
If I'm likened to Pepsi
You're coke
Then you're similar to Coke
We both know that I'm right
Both of us acknowledge that I'm correct
But this time
Yet, in this instance
I don't mind
I'm not bothered
I wanted to be cool
I desired to appear composed and calm
But I guess I'm a fool for falling into the lust
However, I now understand that I acted foolishly by giving in to desire
