Darwins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And can I come along?
You're wasted and stoned when
I am sober as a marble
I think I love you are horrible
I think I love you are horrible
You can't, by my, girl
You can't, by my, girl
Fishing for your lipstick
You found your cigarettes
You're hacking up the wrapping
As we sit on rotten steps
You're crazy and you show it off
Dear, you're slurring Gorbachev
But you insist on discussing him
You're so wrong but somehow you win
So wrong to kiss you when
You can't, by my, girl
You can't, by my, girl
You can't, by my, girl
You're sweet but you're messed up
Your best friend is a red cup
You're obviously not the one
But you remind me life can be fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah
You can't, by my, girl
You can't, by my, girl
You can't, by my, girl
In "Girl," Darwin sings about a girl who is under the influence of drugs and alcohol. He seems to be intrigued by her carefree attitude and is contemplating joining her in her state of being. However, he also recognizes that her behavior is reckless and even admits that he thinks it's terrible that he loves her in this state. The chorus, "You can't, by my girl," may imply that he knows getting involved with her would be a mistake, despite the attraction he feels.
The opening lines suggest that Darwin is both fascinated and hesitant about the girl's drug use. He seems to be questioning whether he should indulge in the same behaviors or continue to stay sober. The following lines describe the girl's state of mind and actions - fishing for lipstick, cigarette smoking, and coughing. The lyrics depict a scene of decay and decayed steps, which ties into the idea of being under the influence.
In the second verse, Darwin comments on the girl's antics, calling her crazy, but also acknowledging that she is confident in her behavior. He even notes that she slurs the name of former Soviet leader Gorbachev, but insists on having a discussion about him. Although he admits that she is wrong, he also acknowledges that somehow she wins in their interactions. He later admits that he knows he shouldn't be kissing her in this state, reinforcing the idea that his attraction to her is both exciting and dangerous.
In the chorus and the final verse, Darwin seems to come to terms with the idea that the girl is not a good fit for him. He calls her "sweet but messed up" and notes that her best friend is a red cup, indicating that her priorities are not in line with his. However, he also comments that she reminds him that life can be fun. This ending acknowledges the complexity of the situation and the mixed feelings that Darwin feels about the girl.
Line by Line Meaning
Damn, what drugs aren't you on?
I'm amazed at how messed up you are, which drugs haven't you taken?
And can I come along?
Can I join you and see what you're experiencing?
You're wasted and stoned when
You're extremely under the influence when
I am sober as a marble
I'm completely sober
I think I love you are horrible
I'm aware that my feelings for you are not sensible or right
You can't, by my, girl
You don't belong to me, I can't control you
Fishing for your lipstick
You're rummaging for something in your bag
You found your cigarettes
You located your pack of cigarettes
You're hacking up the wrapping
You're taking the plastic off the cigarettes and disposing it
As we sit on rotten steps
As we are sitting on deteriorating stairs
You're crazy and you show it off
You're acting insane and making it known
Dear, you're slurring Gorbachev
You're speaking incoherently and saying the name of a former Soviet leader
But you insist on discussing him
But you keep bringing him up in conversation
You're so wrong but somehow you win
You're incorrect, but you manage to convince me otherwise
So wrong to kiss you when
It's not right to kiss you when
You're sweet but you're messed up
You have a lovable side, but you're also dealing with issues
Your best friend is a red cup
You rely on alcohol as your companion
You're obviously not the one
You're not the ideal partner for me
But you remind me life can be fun
But spending time with you reminds me that life can have enjoyable moments
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
An affirmation or agreement
You can't, by my, girl
I don't possess you, you can do as you please
You can't, by my, girl
I don't have a claim on you, you're free to do what you like
You can't, by my, girl
I can't limit or restrict you, you're not mine to control
