Was the worst thing that has ever happened to me
Black eye, I'm bleeding
But I'm breathing by myself
Those girls, those guys
They all want me, they all want me dead
I should have never, should have never ever, no
But I think she's on to me
She's starting to get on
Well, I think she's looking for me
(For me)
She's starting to fall
And I said, "Pleased to meet you, baby
How do you do, what you do?
And I'll forgive you, maybe
If you convince him not to do what he came to do"
(Black eye and bleeding but I'm fine)
What he came to do
(A sucker punch is all he had)
And I know now, I'm terribly sorry then
Is this your girlfriend clinging to my hand?
Oh no, what will become of me
In the backyard of that party?
I think I'm doing rather well on my own
And I know I don't need you
It's impossible to please you I got it covered with [Incomprehensible]
Try to relax and sleep and don't wake me up tonight
No, no, don't, don't
Don't wake me up, especially tonight
No, no, don't, don't
Don't wake me up tonight
And I said, "Pleased to meet you, baby
How do you do, what you do?
And I'll forgive you, maybe
If you convince him not to do what he came to do"
(Black eye and bleeding but I'm fine)
What he came to do
(A sucker punch is all he had in me)
We came alone and we left together
It shut him up to see I won her over
(We came alone and we left together
It shut him up to see I won her over)
We came alone and we left together
Pleased to meet you, baby
How do you do, what you do?
And I'll forgive you, maybe
(If you convince him not to do)
Pleased to meet you, baby
How do you do, what you do?
And I'll forgive you, maybe
If you convince him not to do what he came to do
(Black eye and bleeding but I'm fine)
What he came to do
(A sucker punch is all he had)
The lyrics to "Becky Starz" by Forever the Sickest Kids describe a wild party that goes wrong when the singer gets into a fight and is left with a black eye and bleeding. The singer seems to have said something to upset somebody, possibly someone named Becky, and now they are being targeted by others at the party. In the midst of chaos, the singer meets a girl who may or may not be Becky and tries to reconcile with her by convincing her not to let her boyfriend harm him. The lyrics convey a sense of regret and danger while also hinting at a potential romance.
The first verse sets the scene for the song, with the singer describing the aftermath of a terrible party. He is hurt physically but still breathing on his own, indicating that things got out of hand but not to the point of death. The second verse reveals that the singer provoked someone, possibly Becky, by saying something inappropriate. Despite feeling sorry for what he said, it seems too late for him to rectify the situation. The chorus repeats the singer's attempt to make peace with Becky or whoever the girl is, showing both his desperation and his willingness to forgive. The bridge of the song reveals that the singer has found a way to win over the girl and is leaving the party with her, but not before he tries one last time to make amends with whoever was after him.
Overall, "Becky Starz" is a song about regrettable decisions and the consequences that come with them. The singer's black eye and bleeding serve as a reminder of what happens when we let our guard down and say things we shouldn't. Nevertheless, the song ends on a somewhat positive note, with the singer finding a potential romantic interest and leaving the party behind him.
