Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's a homophobe
And he wants to get me arrested
'Bout my gender roles
So I'll put on a dress, kiss some boys
And let it go
'Cause Kevin's got the best advice
If you didn't know
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I wanna understand you
Tryna get inside your mind
I'm not gettin' through
I'm not gonna waste my time
With your point of view
I can't understand you
You need a little rain
If you wanna see a rainbow
Know you're scared of change
But Kevin, you gotta let it go
Go
Go
Go
Kevin, do you mind
If I wear a suit to the show?
I got you and Karen
Fancy tickets to the front row
I've been working hard
Just so you can see it up close
(Boys)
I'ma give you ass, do my dance
That you love so
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I wanna understand you
Tryna get inside your mind
I'm not gettin' through
I'm not gonna waste my time
With your point of view
I can't understand you
You need a little rain
If you wanna see a rainbow
Know you're scared of change
But Kevin, you gotta let it go
Go
Gotta let it go
Let it go
The lyrics to G Flip's song "Kevin" address a character named Kevin who is portrayed as a close-minded and judgmental individual. Kevin is depicted as someone who is hostile towards the singer, expressing a desire for their harm and displaying homophobic tendencies. The line "Kevin wants me dead in my DMs, he's a homophobe" highlights Kevin's negative and harmful intentions towards the singer, specifically targeting their identity and sexuality.
The lyrics also delve into Kevin's resistance to the concept of breaking traditional gender roles. The singer sings about putting on a dress, kissing boys, and embracing fluidity in gender expression as a way to challenge Kevin's narrow mindset. By choosing to let go of societal expectations and embracing their true self, the singer symbolically defies Kevin's harmful views and strives to live authentically without conforming to his oppressive ideals.
The chorus of the song reflects the singer's attempts to understand Kevin's perspective, despite the evident communication barriers and differing viewpoints. The desire to comprehend Kevin's mindset is met with resistance, as the singer realizes the futility of engaging with someone so closed-off and unwilling to accept change. The repeated refrain of "I can't understand you, you need a little rain if you wanna see a rainbow" suggests that Kevin's fear of change and resistance to diversity is hindering his ability to see the beauty and growth that come with embracing diversity.
As the song progresses, the singer offers Kevin an invitation to the show, symbolizing an olive branch extended in the hopes of bridging the gap between them. By offering Kevin a chance to witness their talents and creativity up close, the singer seeks to break down barriers and challenge Kevin's preconceived notions. The message of letting go and embracing change is reiterated throughout the song, underscoring the importance of acceptance, growth, and shedding outdated beliefs. Overall, "Kevin" serves as a powerful anthem of defiance against bigotry and ignorance, urging listeners to let go of harmful prejudices and embrace diversity and inclusivity.
