Bring The Action
DJ Lobsterdust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But why can I not conquer love?
And I might′ve thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
And let's be clear, I trust no one
You did not break me
I′m still fighting for peace
Well, I've got a thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade, it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band, until you pull too hard
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
You won′t see me fall apart
′Cause I've got an elastic heart
I′ve got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart
So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
I′m too hot (hot damn)
Call the police and a fireman
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
I′m too hot (hot damn)
Say my name, you know who I am
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Saying why were you creeping around late last night?
Why did I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light?
Now you're dressed in black
When I left you were dressed in white
Can you fill me in?
Calls diverted to answer
I′ve got an elastic heart
Yeah, I′ve got an elastic heart
The two stanzas of the song Bring The Action by DJ Lobsterdust are different in nature but are tied together by the theme of resilience. The first stanza discusses love and relationships- the singer has faced multiple disappointments in love and is wary of emotional involvement once again. They have thick skin but an elastic heart, which means that they are resistant to heartbreak but are still capable of love. However, there have been various red flags in their past relationships, leading to another one "biting the dust". The lyrics "I trust no one" reflect the singer's disillusionment with love and a lack of trust in potential partners.
The second stanza is a complete departure from the previous one and seems to be at odds with it thematically. The lyrics are an excerpt from the song Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, discussing the glamour, success and appeal of the singer. This change in tone can be seen as a source of strength - despite the uncertainties and disappointments of love, the singer's personal success and charisma will not falter.
Overall, Bring The Action is about strength and resilience despite the difficulties of life. The singer has faced heartbreaks but is still open to love and remains strong in their character.
