Who The Pop Cares
De-Phazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping someone might phone
Did she crawl out of bed, scratch her head
Look in the mirror and think she was dead
Who will care
Who will care
And walk slowly to the door
Go into town hoping to score
Did she find her a man
He'd give her all he can
And when that's not enough
Then life starts to get tough
Who will care
Who will care
Did she die in the cold
Was she scared to be old
Nobody knows where and old loner goes
At the end of the line
And on one grey day
Some children at play
Saw her still body
Thought it was funny
Oh look at that lady on the ground fast asleep
Nobody knew her so nobody weeps
Who will care
Who will care
Did she die in the cold
Was she scared to be old
Nobody knows where and old loner goes
At the end of the line
Did she wake up cold and alone
Hoping someone might phone
Did she fall out of bed, scratch her head
Look in the mirror and know she was dead
Who will care
De-Phazz's song "Who The Pop Cares" is a meditative tribute to people who go unnoticed in life and die alone at the end of the line. The song raises existential questions about the lack of care and compassion in modern society and the feeling of being invisible in a crowd. The artist paints a picture of a lonely woman who wakes up cold and alone, hoping for a phone call or some interaction to break the monotony of her existence. The lyrics then describe her going into town to find some semblance of life, hoping to score and find love with a man.
As the song progresses, the artist poses a rhetorical question, "Who will care?" The lyrics are a poignant reminder that some people are left alone to suffer in silence, and there is no one to reach out to them or care for them. The woman in the song may have died alone, scared, and unloved, with no one to mourn her passing.
The song offers a powerful commentary on modern society's failure to care for its marginalized members, the elderly, and those who struggle with poverty and addiction. The lyrics suggest that we need to cultivate more empathy and compassion and reach out to those who are suffering in silence.
Line by Line Meaning
Did she wake up cold and alone
Did she arise from slumber feeling isolated and unsupported
Hoping someone might phone
Anticipated a call from someone who cares
Did she crawl out of bed, scratch her head
Got up sluggishly and drowsily
Look in the mirror and think she was dead
Observed herself in the mirror and considered herself lifeless
Who will care
No one is concerned
Did she thrown on her clothes
Did she hastily put on garments
And walk slowly to the door
Left with a slow pace
Go into town hoping to score
Went out with the intention of finding something wanted or needed
Did she find her a man
Did she encounter a male
He'd give her all he can
Provided her with the maximum support he could
And when that's not enough
Despite receiving the greatest amount of help possible
Then life starts to get tough
Adversity became a daunting problem
Did she die in the cold
Did she pass away in the frigid air
Was she scared to be old
Did the prospect of being elderly cause her anxiety
Nobody knows where and old loner goes
No one is aware of the whereabouts of a lonely person
At the end of the line
When the individual's journey is concluded
And on one grey day
On a gloomy day
Some children at play
While playing, some children
Saw her still body
Detected her motionless physique
Thought it was funny
Found it amusing
Oh look at that lady on the ground fast asleep
Observe the woman dozing off on the soil
Nobody knew her so nobody weeps
Since no one was introduced to her, no one grieves
Did she die in the cold
Did she pass away in the freezing air
Was she scared to be old
Did the possibility of getting old frighten her
Nobody knows where an old loner goes
No one can pinpoint where a solitary senior citizen goes
At the end of the line
When a person's line of life is finished
Did she wake up cold and alone
Did she awaken feeling isolated and unsupported
Hoping someone might phone
Wishing for a call from someone who cares
Did she fall out of bed, scratch her head
Did she tumble out of bed and scratch her head
Look in the mirror and know she was dead
Examined herself in the mirror and realized she was lifeless
Who will care
No one will show concern
