So What
Dirty Trashroad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There you go playin' spenser,
Gotta know who, when and where.
You'll never know for real, so why do you even care?
People talk and people walk away
From what they say today.
I'll tell you what you wanna hear,
If you wanna be my prey.
[*]
Ooh... yeah... you'll never know.
So why don't you just get out of my way?

Out-of-tune ventriloquist,
Why don't you look into your mirror?
You'll find your doll in the lookin' glass,
Peepin' tom, the monitor.
Lazy enough to let the world go around in hearsay
You're gonna turn into a myna
If you don't quit your ways.

[repeat *]

So what, so what...
So what, so what...

Here's a tune i wrote for you so hope
You like the way it sounds
Lick... my thang
Suck... my thang
Won't you try my thang... yeah
Won't you taste my thang... yeah
Won't you move my thang... yeah
Won't you lick my thang
Do me babe!

It's just about impossible to
Measure me with your stick.
You'll never know for real so
Why's your head so thick?
You can try your flirtin' tricks,
You'll never shoot me down.
Can't you tell after all this time
You're the talk of the town?

[repeat *]

So what, so what...
So what, so what...
I hear voices talkin'




'bout me everywhere,
Everyday.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dirty Trashroad's song "So What" speaks to the idea of people worrying and talking too much about what others are doing or saying, instead of focusing on their own lives. The lyrics seem to be directed towards someone who is overly concerned with knowing everything about other people's business, but ultimately won't ever truly know everything. The line "You'll never know for real, so why do you even care?" suggests that the singer believes that this person's preoccupation with gossip and rumors is futile and a waste of time.


The second verse compares the overly-concerned person to an out-of-tune ventriloquist, someone who can manipulate others into listening to them and believing whatever they say. The singer urges this person to stop listening to gossip and rumors and to start focusing on actual facts. The use of the doll in the looking glass suggests a shallow and artificial view of the world, where appearances are more important than reality.


The chorus, "So what, so what...," is a dismissive statement, suggesting that the singer doesn't care what other people are saying or thinking about them. This attitude is reinforced in the final verse, where the singer implies that the person trying to shoot them down is nothing but the "talk of the town," suggesting that the person is the one who has a problem, not the singer.
