Johnny Big Mouth
Don Carlos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lines across your face
Are drawn with hate
'Cause I'm drawn to someone else
Looks like you could use a little sleep
I had some I didn't mention
You caught me coming late, framed by the door
Onto a floor that's freshly waxed
And that's my tracks raises
Some important questions
I ask you to be nice it has no effect
And I suspect that you suspect
But didn't I say feelings were the last things to make themselves felt?
Don't make me explain myself you don't need to know
What's going on in my big head right now
It could appear that I could have a statement prepared, but
Don't make me open my big mouth
The words come quickly I feel sick
I use that for an excuse to exit
Looks like you don't buy it
And I'm trying your patience
But what I leave unsaid sticks in my head
The guilt puts me in a spotlight
Looks like I might reveal
You're not my sole engagement
I ask you to shut up it's say's if I didn't
Know myself I wish you didn't
Know I can't turn back
But I didn't plan to tell you that
Don't make me explain myself, you don't need to know
What's going on in my big head right now
It could appear that I could want to defend me
But don't make me open my big mouth
You tell me to get out I can't get out of it
And I wish that we both could split
Splitting doesn't mean the end of the backlash
That I couldn't defend
Don't make me explain myself
You wouldn't like what you find
Inside my, inside my big head
It could appear that I would want to reassure your doubts
Don't make me open my big mouth
Don't make me, don't make me




Don't make me, don't make me
Don't make me open my big mouth

Overall Meaning

In Don Carlos's song Johnny Big Mouth, the singer is caught between two romantic interests and is struggling to manage the situation. The song is characterized by its vivid imagery, with the opening lines describing the lines of hate drawn across a character's face as a result of the singer's infidelity. Despite this, the singer is defensive and unapologetic, insisting that his feelings are beyond his control and that he is unable to explain himself fully to his partner.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer begging his partner not to force him to "open [his] big mouth" and reveal his true feelings. These feelings are clearly complicated and contradictory, with the singer simultaneously trying to reassure his partner while also acknowledging that their doubts are well-founded.


Overall, the lyrics of Johnny Big Mouth paint a picture of a complex and fraught romantic triangle, with the singer struggling to balance his own desires with his partner's expectations. The song is a powerful exploration of the difficulties of navigating romantic relationships and the emotions that can arise when feelings are not fully understood or expressed.

You wouldn't like what you find
You wouldn't like what you discover


Inside my, inside my big head
