Tic, tac
Toe

Don't go so slow
You're wasting time
You're right, I'm wrong
We're still tongue-tied
Oh

Lately, have you wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day?

Tic tac
(Toe) We're stuck, now look
We've got it down
Dig deep, you're cheap
So help me out

Oh

Lately, have you wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day?

Lately, ever wondered why we're stood here?
Will we do it all again
Every day?

Tic, tac
Toe

Oh

Lately, have you wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day?

Lately, ever wondered why we're stood here?
Will we do it all again
Every day?

Lately, have you wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day?

Lately, ever wondered why we're stood here?
Will we do it all again
Every day?

Overall Meaning

The song 'Tic Tac Toe' by Django Django is a contemplative track that questions the purpose of life and the monotony of daily routine. The title itself refers to the game of Tic Tac Toe, which is used as a metaphor for life as a series of moves and decisions that lead to a seemingly predetermined outcome. The song begins with the lines "Don't go so slow, you're wasting time, you're right, I'm wrong, we're still tongue-tied" which indicate frustration and a lack of progress. The repetition of "Oh" in between lines further emphasizes this feeling of being stuck in a loop.


As the song progresses, the lyrics begin to question the greater meaning of life, asking "Lately, have you wondered why we're put here? Playing each and every game day by day?" The repetition of the phrase "Tic Tac Toe" throughout the song serves as a reminder of this metaphor and reinforces the idea that life can feel like a game, with a finite number of moves and outcomes.


The line "Dig deep, you're cheap, so help me out" is interesting as it is somewhat ambiguous and could have multiple interpretations. It could be interpreted as a plea for help or support, or it could be seen as a bit of self-deprecation, with the singer recognizing their own cheapness or frugality.


Ultimately, 'Tic Tac Toe' is a reflective song that prompts the listener to consider the bigger picture and the significance of the choices they make each day.

Tic...

Toe...

Don't go, so slow
You're wasting time
You're right, I'm wrong
We're still tongue-tied

Lately, have you ever wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day

Tic...

We're stuck, now look
We've got it down
Dig deep, you're cheap
So help me out

Lately, have you ever wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day

Lately, have you ever wondered why we're stood here?
Will we do it all again
Every day?

Tic...

Lately, have you ever wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day

Lately, have you ever wondered why we're stood here?
Will we do it all again

Lately, have you ever wondered why we're put here?
Playing each and every game
Day by day

Lately, have you ever wondered why we're stood here?
Will we do it all again
Every day?

No vayas, tan lento
Estás gastando tiempo
Tienes la razón, yo no
Seguimos en silencio

Escava profundamente, eres tacaño
Así que ayúdame

¿Lo haremos otra vez
Todos los días?
