Ehiorobo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No?
Seven billion twenty thousand and seventeen cells keep stomping on my stepping ground I like it
When I moan I probe confessions, my body language sends that message
Yeah, that's true I lost my tug-of-war battle
She kept the breakfast, but not for long now
She overheard my whisper like, "Whatch' you talkin' 'bout"
After Revenge of the Sith I just tried to conjure that force
After Samuel L. Jackson I just tried to sacrifice pork
After Comic-Con happened I just tried to look like a dork
Stereotypes blow
Died of an overdose on call to your body died of a sculpture they bought and sold you low for the price and apologetically emotion at you
No No, No no no no no no no, no no,
Dammit you're no Mona Lisa
But let me congratulate you for looking ripe, Alright?
Seven billion twenty thousand and seventeen cells keep stomping on my stepping ground I like it
When I moan I feel confessions, my body language sends that message
Yeah, that's true I lost my tug-of-war battle but wow you look pretty cool
I mean you do look pretty cool
Wow you look pretty cool
Wow you look pretty cool
You probably studied at the Louvre for college scope on the way that you dress yes
Legendary and powerful but that frame is a mess, yes
Straight from a Christmas careful carry dose in your chest
Good thing I'm awesome at chess
Trying to predict seeing the bubbles ahhh
Trying to fabricate a similar struggle ahhh, ah, ah
I'd like to know your anger
Won't you tell me?
Won't you tell me?
Tell me?
I'd like to know your anger
Won't you tell me?
Won't you tell me?
Tell me
Seven billion twenty thousand and seventeen cells keep stomping on my stepping ground I like it
When I moan I probe confessions, my body language sends that message
Yeah, that's true I lost my tug-of-war battle but that's not really important.
The lyrics to Ehiorobo's song VII capture the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the struggle to understand one another. The repeated line "Seven billion twenty thousand and seventeen cells keep stomping on my stepping ground I like it" suggests that despite the chaos of the world and the constant interactions with others, the singer finds comfort in the turmoil. The line "When I moan I probe confessions, my body language sends that message" implies that the singer is trying to communicate something deeper through nonverbal cues and expressions.
The second verse of the song refers to popular culture references such as Star Wars and Comic-Con, perhaps highlighting the singer's attempts to find common ground and connect with others through shared interests. The line "Stereotypes blow" suggests a rejection of societal assumptions and labels placed on individuals. However, the line "Dammit you're no Mona Lisa" implies that regardless of shared interests or rejection of stereotypes, the singer still holds some judgment.
The chorus repeats the opening lines, emphasizing the theme of being present in a chaotic world and finding solace in it. The final line of the song, "that's not really important," provides a sense of closure to the lyrics, suggesting that despite the struggle and confusion in interpersonal relationships, it ultimately doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
