Sugar
D.J. Mash Up Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Second time around doing this....I think it'll be better....here we go
It was 5:45 on a friday
I was waitin' for a train goin' my way
I stood packed on a platform in Brooklyn
Where everybody's pushin', but nobody's lookin'
So I got crushed in the rush for the subway
By the little old man tryin to shove me
Well I noticed her when I glanced sideways
And felt continents shifting inside me
I was dressed in my best polyester
And I could tell that the plastic impressed her
'cause she smiled as she eased up beside me
And then she said she had things to confide, see
She said her dad ran away with Samantha
The middle-aged exotic dancer
So her mom had to turn to her savior
And here's the advice that he gave her
He said reese's pieces, sweedish fish
Oodles of skittles and red liccorice
Marshmallow mints and a chocolate kiss
And it melts in your mouth like this
(Chorus)
Take out your contacts and look at the screen
Take off your make-up and look at the scene
If you break your restrictions, then you'll understand me
Take your persrciption of sugar and candy, oh yeah
We arrived there by way of the highway
After night drives with trinklets and tirades
To a town bound with old guards and dry docks
Bored I drug my ass of the bus and hit the sidewalks
I stumbled by the lane name of My Way
And got caught in the street by treading lightly
The fish passed me by led by fish hooks
I hit pop flies and caught their strange looks
But one figure struggled just to stand there
He was a one-legged man in his wheel chair
I struck out a course for his lantern
I put out a hand and then he grabbed me
He told a lifetime of boxcars and bi-ways
Of the times of stock yards and chain gangs and two legs
He offered his advice for a penny
And for that small price here's what he gave me
(Chorus)
Take out your contacts and look at the screen
Take off your make-up and look at the scene




If you break your restrictions, then you'll understand me
Take your persrciption of sugar and candy, oh yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Sugar" by DJ Mash Up tells the story of two encounters with strangers that ultimately lead to a message about the power of sweetness in life. The first encounter takes place on a crowded subway platform in Brooklyn, where the singer notices a woman who catches his eye. She confides in him about her troubled family life, and her savior's advice to indulge in sweets such as Reese's Pieces, Swedish Fish, Skittles, Licorice, and Chocolate Kisses. The chorus then advises to take out contacts, remove makeup, break out of restrictions, and indulge in sugar and candy.


The second encounter occurs when the singer arrives in a small town, feeling bored and aimless. He comes across a one-legged man in a wheelchair, who tells the story of a lifetime traveling by boxcars and highways, and offers his own advice for a penny. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of breaking free from restrictions and indulging in sweetness. The message of the song is not necessarily about the literal consumption of sugar, but rather about finding the sweetness and joy in life, even in difficult circumstances.


Overall, "Sugar" is a unique and thoughtful song that encourages listeners to embrace the sweet moments in life, even when surrounded by chaos and negativity.
