Deputies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The more I think, the less I want to know
What we'll become
The more I think, the less I want to know
What we'll become

You know we all are black sheep
Stuck in that ground
You know we all are black sheep

The more I think the less I feel
Nothing is really make sense for me
The less I see their symptahy
The less I need it, less I need it

City lights will always be bright
If you never stop shouting
City lights will always be bright
If you never stop shouting
Here we are, Big Boys
Here we are, Big Boys
Here we are, Big Boys
Big Boys, Big boys

The more I look the less I want to see
In front of me
The more I look the less I want to see
In front of me

You know we all are sad clowns
At the sundown
You know we all are sad clowns

The more I think the less I feel
Nothing is really make sense for me
The less I see their symptahy
The less I need it, less I need it

City lights will always be bright
If you never stop shouting
City lights will always be bright
If you never stop shouting
Here we are, Big Boys
Here we are, Big Boys

Here we are, Big Boys
Big Boys, Big boys

Overall Meaning

"Big Boys" is a song by the Italian band Deputies. The lyrics suggest a sense of disillusionment with society and a feeling of being an outsider or "black sheep." The more the singer thinks about their place in the world, the less they understand about what they will become or the purpose of their existence. The line "You know we all are sad clowns at the sundown" emphasizes a feeling of sadness or emptiness that comes with the end of the day or the end of life. The repeated phrase "Here we are, Big Boys" can be interpreted as a sarcastic or resigned recognition of the singer's own status as a member of society.

The chorus of the song, with the lines "City lights will always be bright if you never stop shouting" speaks to the constant buzz and distraction of urban life, and the idea that if you keep making noise and pushing forward, you will be seen and heard. However, the singer seems to suggest that this is ultimately empty or unsatisfying, as they feel disconnected or numb to the world around them.

Overall, "Big Boys" is a reflection on the struggles of modern life and the sometimes overwhelming feeling of being lost or disconnected in a fast-paced, unforgiving world.
