BEG
Crooked Teeth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three more down and I become the floor
I've been keen on burning out
I'm leaning harder on you now
Going on and on about the world
I'm begging, begging for more
Think fast, don't look back
Move slow, head low
Gonna feel the pain from head to toe
Three more down and I become the floor
Thoughts of a second chance have got me begging
Begging for more
Begging for more
One more pull and you've got me weak
Smoking pot on your balcony
I've been keen on burning out
I'm leaning harder on you know
Going on and on about the world
I'm begging, begging for more
Think fast, don't look back
Coming at you like a heart attack
Move slow, head low
Gonna feel the pain from head to toe
Three more down and I become the floor
Thoughts of a second chance have got me begging
Begging for more
One more now and I'm out the door
One more now and I'm out that door
Think fast, don't look back
Coming at you like a heart attack
Move slow, head low
Gonna feel the pain from head to toe
Three more down and I become the floor
Thoughts of a second chance have got me begging
Begging for more
Begging for more
Begging for more
The lyrics of Crooked Teeth's song Beg speak about a person who is struggling with addiction and dependency. The lines "one more now and I'm out the door, three more down and I become the floor" indicate that the person is indulging in a substance and feels out of control. The phrase "one more pull and you've got me weak, smoking pot on your balcony" provides a specific example of the addiction. The person is aware of their destructive behavior and the damage it is causing, but they can't stop themselves. They express their desperation by repeatedly saying "begging for more."
In the second verse, the singer asks their partner to help them overcome their addiction, "I'm leaning harder on you now." They also mention their desire for a second chance at a sober life. However, the cycle of addiction is difficult to break, as indicated by the repeated line "three more down and I become the floor." The singer is aware of the pain and harm that comes with addiction, "gonna feel the pain from head to toe," but is unable to resist the lure of addiction.
The song ultimately conveys the message that addiction is a difficult struggle, and breaking free from it often requires help and support. The singer's desperation to overcome their addiction is palpable, and the listener can empathize with their struggle.
