Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Disclosure's song "Boss" suggest that the singer is in a romantic relationship with a powerful woman whom he perceives to be the boss. Despite their unconventional dynamic, the singer takes pleasure in doing favors for his partner because he finds her psychology and personality attractive. The singer acknowledges that their relationship may not make sense on paper, but what draws him in is the opportunity to see beyond her commanding exterior into her true self.


The singer's perspective on this relationship is interesting because it challenges traditional gender roles, where women are often depicted as submissive and men as dominant. Instead, the song portrays a female figure who exerts power and authority, yet still maintains her femininity and psychological complexity. The song also touches on the blurred lines between professional and personal relationships, suggesting that the singer may be involved with their boss in both aspects.


Overall, "Boss" is a song that celebrates unconventional relationships and challenges gender norms. It reveals a complex and dynamic portrait of a woman who commands respect and admiration from her partner.


Line by Line Meaning

Yeah, she's the boss and I'm an old romantic doing favors
She is in charge and I am a traditional lover who seeks to please, but our relationship may not seem practical


Don't look good on paper
Our dynamics may not make sense when put down on paper or analyzed logically


But when she looks behind these eyes, girl I can see the psyche
However, when she truly sees into my soul and gets to know me, she can understand my motivations and personality


And baby I like it
And I am attracted to this level of understanding and connection with her
