Crazy - what cost.
Alright
Club, now kiss the strobe light.
Club now ninety-eight, ninety-nine.
I can dig it.
Whatever.

The music is cool, right forever.
Whatever.
We all want to live so much better.
So play it, kiss it, just enough crazy.
Just enough crazy.
Forever alright, alright, alright.
Crazy - club now, I know everyone.
I know everyone, don't even know myself.
Whatever.
Club now, ya get to feel unreal.
My baby, it's for real.
Ya get to feel unreal.
Whatever.
Can just be live.
Can just be live.
It's not a waste of time.

Crazy - the pleasure - what cost?
Yeah, maybe I don't want to feel alright.
Whatever.
Yeah, maybe I don't even know myself.
Whatever.
Alright, alright, alright.
The lyrics to Girls Against Boys's song Roxy are a reflection on the club scene and the highs and lows that come with it. The opening lines "The pleasure - what cost? Crazy - what cost" set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer acknowledges the thrill of being in a club and losing oneself to the music but also recognizes the potential danger in that experience. The reference to the strobe light and the progression of the club years (98, 99) paints a picture of a fast-paced environment where anything can happen. The repeated use of "Whatever" throughout the song can be interpreted as a coping mechanism the singer is using to detach from the chaos and maintain a sense of control over their own experience.
As the song progresses, there is a shift towards self-reflection. The line "I know everyone, don't even know myself" suggests that while the club scene can be a place to connect with others, it can also be a place where one loses sight of their own identity. The chorus, "Can just be live. It's not a waste of time" reinforces the idea that the pleasures and risks of club culture are worth it, even if they are not without consequences. The final lines "Yeah, maybe I don't want to feel alright. Whatever. Yeah, maybe I don't even know myself. Whatever. Alright, alright, alright" show a level of acceptance and resignation to the fact that the singer is willing to embrace the highs and lows of the club scene, even if it means sacrificing a sense of self-awareness.
