Pop Song
Dante Elephante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What can you do?
It's not something to talk about
It's just between me and you
Everynight I'm waiting for something to be alone or left hiding
I know it's not the way that you've always wanted
I don't care about a pop song
I know I'm not always gonna live without it
You come along, you come along
I met someone with someone else
What can you do?
Rumors that run around this town
It's just between me and you
Everynight I'm waiting for something to be alone or left hiding
I know it's not the way that you've always wanted
I don't care about a pop song
I know I'm not always gonna live without it
I hope you come along
You come along, you come along
The lyrics to Dante Elephante's song Pop Song address the theme of infidelity and the secrecy it demands. The first verse suggests that the singer has discovered that someone is hiding a secret from him, likely an affair. However, he acknowledges that it's not something to discuss publicly and opts to keep it just between them. The chorus then reveals that he is waiting for someone to come along, but he acknowledges that it's not always going to be possible to avoid heartache.
The second verse adds another layer to the story, with the singer having met someone who is already in a relationship. Again, the theme of secrecy is emphasized, with rumors spreading but only the singer and this person knowing what has happened. The ending of the song reiterates the singer's desire for someone to come along and his recognition that he can't always live without love, despite the potential for hurt.
Overall, the lyrics to Pop Song showcase the pain and confusion of infidelity, while also acknowledging the complexity and secrecy that often surrounds it.
