Cronos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go-Go Bars, Newcastle Broon, jailbait with every look
Be careful who you love, cause things get ah passed around a bit
44 double D's, my eyes just hit the ground
Yeah she was cruel, yeah she was kind
I could not see cause I was blind, that bitch is killing me
But how I love her cruelty, yeah
Shock, Mayfair, she's there
Shock, she's got enough to go around
Shock
Now it's da weekend so were, brrrreabudeebudabudeebudabrreay
Trillions of lovely little darlings, spewing up their brew
Let's go to Whitley Bay, down 42nd street
The girls look innocent, until they get your meat
Yeah she was cruel, yeah she was kind
I could not see cause I was blind, that bitch is killing me
But how I love her cruelty, yeah
Have mercy
Yeah she was cruel, yeah she was kind
I could not see cause I was blind, that bitch is killing me
Come out come out cruelty
Shock, that's what you get when she's in town
Shock, Mayfair, she's there
Shock, she's got enough to go around
Shock ... yo, blow me
In "Boobytrap", Cronos sings about his experiences with sex and women in his hometown of Newcastle. He warns listeners to be careful who they love because things can get passed around, both sexually and emotionally. He then describes the shock he experiences when encountering these women, particularly in Go-Go Bars and Mayfair. The lyrics suggest that these encounters often lead to disappointment and pain for Cronos, but he also acknowledges his love for the cruelty of these women.
Cronos' use of shock as a recurring motif in the song reinforces the idea that these encounters are unexpected and sometimes overwhelming. The reference to "jailbait" also suggests that some of his experiences may have been non-consensual or illegal. However, the tone of the song is generally celebratory, suggesting that Cronos sees these experiences as part of his coming-of-age and a reflection of the culture and lifestyle of his hometown.
Overall, "Boobytrap" is a gritty and provocative song that explores the complexities of sex, power, and desire in the context of a specific time and place.
