F16
Colette Carr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got me wrapped up in a zig zag,
Got me thrown back like who the hella is that?
Nick-nack-paddy-wack give a dog a bone back,
Break me off a piece of the kit-kat cognac,
Brushing on my lipstick, hit me with the throwback,
Small white and fresh chew me up like a tic-tac
Hit me with the clip to the click to the clack
Everything passed in a flash of the Kodak
So run running man run as fast as you can
Hit me with the numb with the jack to the chan,
Gotta put it down like a bad hand with the Mac 10 like a backhand,
Remember back when you would chase me down like a PacMan
Upside down in the world in a handstand,
Now I see your lies in the eyes of a cat-scan, how can I be Robin if you can't be my Batman?

I feel the pressures on me,
I'll be your precious army,
I really need you to know.

With your F16 flying over me,
Dropping every bomb like a masterpiece,
With your F16 flying over me,
Laying it out like a casualty.

You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart.
You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart,
You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart,
Never take away my heart, take away take take away my heart.

With an M16 and a Glock to the face though,
Blew me away spent cheap like a peso
Stole my mind leave me like a bagel,
Hole in my head now I'm stuck as a Leggo.
Said I'm your center but you were my staple
So far gone in a bind and a tangle,
Going down south now I'm tripping San Diego,
Stuck at the boarder in a hot Winnebago.
O but it's so cliché,
Ace high went to waist with your poor play,
Could've had a diamond but you lost me in a poor raise,
Poor taste now a closed case.
Pop like a PPK, semi automatic,
CC sprays, Hot villa Tiki Bay,
Gotta get away alleviate.

I feel the pressures on me,
I'll be your precious army,
I really need you to know.

With your F16 flying over me,
Dropping every bomb like a masterpiece,
With your F16 flying over me,
Laying it out like a casualty.

You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart.
You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart,
You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart,
Never take away my heart, take away take take away my heart.

Every little feeling that I stacked in a rack,
Every little plan got lost so I ran,
Cold war status C.O.D.,
Got me all surrounded V.I.P.
With your love gone I'm stung as a needle
Clean as a whistle colt desert eagle,
Couldn't see the day when you said it was over
Chalked me out like the white cliffs of Dover.

With your F16 flying over me,
Dropping every bomb like a masterpiece,
With your F16 flying over me,
Laying it out like a casualty.

You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart.
You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart,
You can take away almost everything but you'll never take away my heart,
Never take away my heart, take away take take away my heart.





Take away take take away my heart.
Take away take take away my heart.

Overall Meaning

The song "F16" by Colette Carr is an upbeat pop track with playful lyrics that seem to touch on themes of love, power, and betrayal. In the verses, the singer describes feeling caught up in a whirlwind romance represented by the zig-zag pattern and compares her lover to a kit-kat cognac - tempting and indulgent. The chorus takes on a more epic tone with the introduction of the F16, a symbol of military strength and domination. The singer is asking her lover to take control and be her love's superhero, with the line "how can I be Robin if you can't be my Batman?" The chorus is catchy and memorable, and the repetition of the line "you can take away almost everything, but you'll never take away my heart" serves to reinforce the themes of love and resilience.


The imagery in the lyrics is colorful and playful, with references to Tic Tacs, Pac-Man, and Lego.

She also describes feeling surrounded and trapped, with the line "got me all surrounded V.I.P." Overall, the song seems to be a mix of fun, flirty pop and deep emotional complexity, drawing the listener in with its catchy hooks and relatable themes.
