Dream Koala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say I bang
They never toy with me
Royal from the crown to my fucking feet
They say talk that talk
Walk but please avoid the streets
Lock the jaw, lock the door
Avoid the speech
Bullshit reek like oil leak
Pop a pill, cop a feel
Rock the lease
How the fuck you do that in them denim jeans?
All these bars, no police
Whee-ooh whee-ooh, whee-ooh whee-ooh
All these bars, no police
Whee-ooh whee-ooh, whee-ooh whee-ooh (pop a zany – free)
All these bars, no police
He calls me copper tone
Smoking ultraviolet
We turn off the phone
I'm in autopilot
Make that disappear
Mr. Copperfield
When we ride he bust them tricks
I lean and pop a wheel
Watching brandy sipping brandy
Panties on the marble floor
Guess my pants is fancy
Bitches acting catty on the set
Make your man tap me on his neck
Or tap me on your back
Mmm, that′s nasty but I'm classy with this shit
So pop a couple xanies for me quick
Pop a couple xanies for me quick
Pop a couple xanies for me bitch
Whee-ooh whee-ooh, whee-ooh whee-ooh
All these bars, no police
Whee-ooh whee-ooh, whee-ooh whee-ooh (pop a zany – free)
All these bars, no police
Yellow bars, get it in
Somehow this shit medicine
Feel that slow high setting in
Let it take you to a place you ain't never been
Like floating on cotton candy clouds
Shirt and panties on the ground
This kitties hot, fan it down
Make moves on me, papi, don′t stand around
One for you, one for me, when we break a half
Your gentle touch on my naked ass
These summer nights, when that AC blast
Them bars put easy a crazy pass so
Baby if you need it come and get it
Just can′t hold this back from you
Now pop this with me
The lyrics of Dream Koala's "We Can't Be Friends" capture the feeling of letting go and indulging in one's vices, despite the potential consequences. The opening lines "They say I bang, they never toy with me, royal from the crown to my fucking feet" suggest that the singer is confident and powerful, but perhaps not accepted by society. They go on to warn against speaking too much, as it will only reveal the negative aspects of oneself. The line "pop a pill, cop a feel, rock the lease" can be interpreted as engaging in self-destructive behavior for a temporary sense of pleasure. The chorus "All these bars, no police" conveys a sense of freedom and invincibility.

I love the picture with this. I imagine two children are sitting under there with a flashlight, or two adults being child-like together and nostalgic. It's so innocent.
