Outlets
Dev Lemons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better hope you're not alone
Cause then I'm gonna go down in the kitchen
To bend every spoon you own
I'm gonna unplug all your outlets
Gonna run through your living room with a gorilla suit on
I'm gonna crumple up all your outfits
I'll lock the doors up in the back
And dump a bucket full of rats
I really hope it'll be enough
To feed the snakes in your bath
But I hope you know I'll never do so
There's not a universe where you were ever worth my time
And maybe that's why I haven't even given you an fair chance
To try and change my mind
In the end you know it's true
It's not my fault you lose
Cuz turning your back won't change the fact that
You're old news
Is that what you were born to be?
I'd be cranky too if I were you
I would never cause you pain
Just wanna inconvenience you
When I come slithering through your window
You better hope you're not alone
Cause then I'm gonna go down in the kitchen
To bend every spoon you own
I'm gonna unplug all your outlets
Gonna run through your living room with a gorilla suit on
I'm gonna crumple up all your outfits
And cut the cord to your iron with your Prada shoes on
I wanna watch you open a present
Can you guess what's in the box?
What is it?

The lyrics of Dev Lemons's song Outlets are about wreaking havoc in someone's house. The first verse is about coming into someone's house uninvited and causing mischief. The singer talks about going down to the kitchen and bending every spoon that the person owns. The second verse is more intense, as the singer talks about unplugging all of the outlets, running through the living room with a gorilla suit on, crumpling up all of the person's outfits, cutting the cord to their iron with their Prada shoes on, locking the doors up in the back, and dumping a bucket full of rats. The chorus is about how this person is "old news" and that the singer would never cause them pain, but they just want to inconvenience them.
The lyrics appear to be about seeking revenge on someone who has wronged the singer in the past. By disrupting their home and possessions, they are trying to show this person that they are not worth their time. However, in the end, the singer admits that they will never go through with these actions and that the person is not worth their energy.
The lyrics could also be interpreted as a metaphor for a toxic relationship. The singer is fed up with this person and wants to cause chaos, but they know that it's not worth it. They are trying to cut ties and move on from this person, but their resentment and anger are still present.
Overall, the lyrics of Outlets are dark and intense, but also have an underlying message about letting go of toxic relationships.

In the end you know it's true
I'm confident that I'm right about you
It's not my fault you lose
If you can't handle my destructive behavior, it's your fault
Cuz turning your back won't change the fact that
Ignoring me won't make me go away or change my opinion
You're old news
You don't matter anymore and I'm done with you
Is that what you were born to be?
Are you really so weak that you can't handle a little chaos?
I'd be cranky too if I were you
I know you're upset, but I don't care
I would never cause you pain
I'm lying - I enjoy hurting you
Just wanna inconvenience you
I want to disrupt your life and cause you discomfort
I wanna watch you open a present
I enjoy watching you experience disappointment and frustration
Can you guess what's in the box?
I want you to try and guess what horrible thing I've given you
What is it?
It's something unpleasant, as usual

It's something useless that will only remind you of your disappointment
