Diddy - Dirty Money Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's in line waiting
My guest list too long
I told her I would love her
Love her as forever
Forever's just a word
I put words together
Stepping on the stars, she pause and I know that
The strobe lights are dancing
We've taken all the chances
She question what we are
And I'll drink to the answer cause
My heart is out of service
My eyes turn black
I don't see love anymore I'm blind to the fact
I got my world in my pocket cause I ain't tryna drop it
The sky is at my neck, so I turn up my collar
My world spin around her
Cause its a whirl without her
When you know, like I know
When the sunlight falls down
There she goes
Strobe lights dance with the stars
And I just can't live without her
And she knows what she knows
And the rain is coming down
My heart is closed. I know she knows
Strobe lights dance with the stars
And I always take my time
And when the lights fade
The lights they turn grey
B**** you don't love me no more
I'm at the end babe
Going the wrong way
And I don't know where to go
I'm on a new way
Tomorrows too late
B**** you don't love me more
You got me standing on the verge
Love create wars,
I got wounds and scars
The strobe lights are dancing
Dancing with the stars
But what happened to ours
What happened because
The rain is coming down
Now we trapped in the storm
I step right out of her spotlight
And into the strobe lights
I don't need your light
(I know, I know, I know)
That you're no good
(I know, I know, I know)
That you make me, come back for more
Come back for more
Everytime I try, I can't get away
(I know I know) I know that love is gone tomorrow
(I know I know) and the lights they fade away
(your lies) (your lies)
You keep begging me, begging me
Please don't go
And when the lights fade
The lights they turn grey
B**** you don't love me no more
I'm at the end babe
Going the wrong way
And I don't know where to go
I'm on a new way
Tomorrows too late
B**** you don't love me more
You got me standing on the verge
The song "Strobe Lights" by Diddy - Dirty Money is a reflection on a tumultuous relationship between two people who are uncertain about the future of their love. The opening lines, "Love is the party, my heart is such a disco ball, she's in the line waiting, my guest list too long," sets the scene for a night of partying, but also highlights the singer's romantic endeavors. The singer professes his love for his partner, but also acknowledges that the concept of "forever" is just a word. The strobe lights in the club are symbolic of the fleeting nature of love, as it comes and goes like the flashing lights.
Throughout the song, the singer is torn between his head and his heart, as there are moments of doubt and frustration. He questions whether or not his partner loves him, and in turn, he questions his own ability to love. The line, "My heart is out of service, my eyes turn black, I don't see love anymore, I'm blind to the fact," suggests that the singer may have been hurt in the past, and has difficulty trusting and loving again.
Ultimately, the song is a reflection on the complexities of love and the difficulties that come with navigating romantic relationships. The strobe lights are a metaphor for the uncertainty and transience of love, as it comes and goes like the flashing lights, leaving the singer feeling lost and uncertain about the future.
