The Box
HEDp.e. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so much fun
Brother cries whenever he's lonely
And he's lonely 'cause he hasn't one
But that's cool 'cause
Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box
Doesn't matter who knocks
Sister's very kind so it's never quite a problem
When it comes to love
Everything's so easy when we're children
One touch is too much ooh
Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box
Love, it comes so easy when the children open doors
Doesn't matter who knocks
One touch, one touch, one touch is too much
Why we hide our feelings when we're older is a movie
I don't want to see (I don't want to see)
Truth is all that matters in a month of Saturdays
When you're seventeen (When you're seventeen)
Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box (She's got a toy box)
Love, it comes so easy when the children open doors
Doesn't matter who knocks (knock knock)
Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box
Love, it comes so easy when the children open doors
Doesn't matter who knocks
Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely
She's got a toy box
Love, it comes so easy
She's got a toy box
One touch, one touch, one touch is too much
Tom, Tom, bring me my furs
Bring me bring me the brown, no
Bring me the black, no
Tom, bring me my white, no
Bring me the black
Tom, bring me I can't
Bring me one of the furs, good God
I, I need my, my jewels I, my diamonds and shit
I you know
I can't I can't go to the club without my jewels
Give me it Eddie, I good God, you know hoo
Lord, hoo (I) (Sister got a place she goes)
Where'd she go, I need my fur
Tom, good God, I (sister got a place she goes)
Lord, I'm I'm tryin' to tell ya (sister got a place she goes)
Give me my diam
Look, y'all don't I bring (sister got a place she goes)
Bring me the black one (she goes)
The black one!
God, man, come on, good God
(Toy box)
(Toy box)
My toy box (toy box)
Lord, y'all want some, oh, look (toy box)
(Toy box) toy, uh
(Toy box)
(Toy box)
(Toy box)
The lyrics to HEDp.e.'s song The Box seem to allude to the idea of sexual escapism as a means to deal with loneliness. The song focuses on Sister and Brother, with Sister having a toy box that she goes to whenever she feels lonely, while Brother cries about his own loneliness since he doesn't have a similar outlet. The chorus repeats the idea that love comes easy when the children (referring to Sister and Brother) open doors in Sister's toy box, implying that Sister has a sexual object of some sort to alleviate her loneliness. Additionally, the line "one touch is too much" suggests that Sister might be using sex as a way to feel something, regardless of the consequences that may come.
The second verse further explores the theme of hiding our feelings when we're older and how the truth is all that matters when we're young. The idea of hiding our feelings could also relate to Sister's toy box and how she uses it to escape from reality. The bridge introduces a completely different narrative with Tom being asked to bring furs and diamonds. It's unclear whether this is an extension of the previous themes or a separate entity altogether.
Overall, The Box is a voyeuristic look at the consequences of sexual escapism and a commentary on how we deal with loneliness and our own emotions.
