Groan
Dazey and the Scouts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got a thundering storm cloud hanging low above my head again
And if I lied about my age, is it fine?
Would you mind?
Sorry, we can blame it on that I'm
Young, naรฏve, and really miserable
And yeah, I wanna spend the night with you
Because I've never really known
But I pinky-promise you I'm grown
And I wanna know what it feels like
Won't you take me to the place where you took me in your arms again?
And fill my lungs up with your smoke
Until I find a way to breathe again?
I ain't scared of boys, but boy, you're a man
And if anybody could I'm sure you can
For a girl this young, naรฏve, and miserable
And yeah, I wanna spend the night with you
Yeah, I wanna feel a beating, bleeding heart, don't you?
Because I've never really known
But I pinky-promise you I'm grown
And I wanna know what it feels like
You want a fresh cut flower and I'm your sweet red rose
You want a fresh cut flower and I'm your sweet red rose
You want a fresh cut flower and I'm your sweet red rose
You want a fresh cut flower and I'm your sweet red rose
Yeah, I wanna spend the night with you
Yeah, I wanna feel something, anything for once
Don't you turn around, don't take me home
You know I pinky promise you I'm grown
And I wanna know what it feels like
The lyrics of Dazey and the Scouts' song "Groan" describe the yearning of a young girl to experience love and physical intimacy despite her naivety and emotional turmoil. She asks the person she desires to come to her in the middle of the night again because she has a "thundering storm cloud" hanging low above her head. The girl suggests lying about her age as she is "young, naive, and really miserable." She wants to know what it feels like to spend the night with a person she desires and to feel a "beating, bleeding heart." The girl is not afraid of boys, but the person she desires is a man who can give her what she wants.
The girl asks the person to take her to the place where he held her in his arms and fill her lungs with his smoke until she finds a way to breathe again. She believes that the person she desires is capable of fulfilling her desire even though she is young and naรฏve. The girl compares herself to a "sweet red rose" that the person desires like a fresh-cut flower. She pleads with the person not to turn around and take her home because she wants to know what it feels like.
Overall, the song "Groan" portrays the struggles of a young girl who wants to experience physical intimacy and love despite her lack of experience and emotional instability. She is willing to lie about her age to achieve her desires, and she is not afraid of exploring physical relationships with men who can quench her thirst for intimacy.
