Allergic
F.Y.P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its about the 1000th time i read this sentence again.
I′m only pretending im reading so you wont come in
Im allergic to you, be allergic to me.
Why dont you take a fucking hint and make like a tree

You ask me what im reading, "i say its a fucking book."
You ask me if its any good, "yea this line is great"
My grin on my face says your a stupid asshole

Didnt your mom and dad know about birth control?

Theres a million things condoms prevent
Like aids and sphillis and people like you.
Im allergic to you, Be allergic to me so we can form some mutuality.

You ask me what im reading, "i say its a fucking book."
You ask me if its any good, "yea this line is great."
The grin on my face says your a stupid fucker.

Next time get a clue and abort that sucker

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to F.Y.P's song Allergic tell a story about someone who is trying to distance themselves from someone else by pretending to read a book. The line "I'm only pretending I'm reading so you won't come in" suggests that the singer is deliberately avoiding interaction with the other person. The repeated line "I'm allergic to you, be allergic to me" reinforces this idea, as the singer seems to be saying that they want the other person to stay away from them.

The tone of the song is confrontational and sarcastic, as the singer insults the other person and makes jokes about birth control and abortion. The line "Didn't your mom and dad know about birth control?" is particularly harsh, suggesting that the other person is unwanted and shouldn't have been born. The singer also suggests that the other person is a "stupid asshole" and a "stupid fucker", indicating that they have little respect for them.

Overall, the song is a commentary on relationships and the importance of boundaries. The singer seems to be saying that it's okay to be allergic to someone, and that it's important to respect other people's boundaries and personal space. The confrontational tone of the song suggests that this message is not always easy to convey, and that sometimes it's necessary to be harsh and confrontational in order to get the message across.
