Lazy Tiger
El-Creepo! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I really think you are beautiful
Wait a while before you take my life
Because I'd really like to get to know you
Far away from the tragedies
And the dead end streets is a rainbow
In the empty halls and emergency rooms
Hemorrhaging a rush of blood to the head
You put the fun back into the funerals
Lazy tiger, as you hide in the grass
I can see you there, staring at me
Now I'm skinny sick and so paranoid
I'm a lightning rod in a thunderstorm
I bet Eve was a lot like you
When she met the snake and she bit the fruit
Russian roulette and self inflicted wounds
Red rivers flow and pour out of my heart
Take your time before you eat me alive
Because I really think you are beautiful
Wait a while before you take my life
Because I'd really like to get to know you
Now I'm skinny sick and so paranoid
I'm a lightning rod in a thunderstorm
I bet Eve was a lot like you
When she met the snake and she bit the fruit
The song "Lazy Tiger" by El-Creepo! discusses the concept of being attracted to something or someone that may be dangerous or destructive. The first two lines of the chorus, "Take your time before you eat me alive, Because I really think you are beautiful," set the tone for the entire song. The singer acknowledges the danger but is still drawn to it because of its beauty. The second two lines of the chorus, "Wait a while before you take my life, Because I'd really like to get to know you," indicates the singer's desire to know more about the object of their affection before committing fully to the interaction.
The rest of the lyrics delve deeper into this theme. The first verse talks about finding beauty and hope in the midst of tragedy and darkness. The second verse brings up the idea of self-destructive behavior and the singer's willingness to engage in it because of the allure of danger. The bridge of the song brings in imagery of the biblical story of Eve and the snake as a metaphor for the dangers of temptation.
Overall, "Lazy Tiger" is a complex and emotionally charged song that explores themes of beauty, danger, and the allure of self-destructive behavior.

I'm glad more of their music is here, can't find much from their first album, don't get me wrong there's plenty of aloha and most of that album was cool but their first album was amazing. To me at least.
