Henry Fiat's Open Sore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say, I don't care
You say, that I suck
You say, I cannot fuck
But you can't control me
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
The lyrics of Henry Fiat's Open Sore's song "No" convey a message of defiance towards someone who is trying to control or bring the singer down with negative comments. The opening lines of "You say, I've got a problem / You say, I don't care" suggests that the person speaking is being criticized for something and is being told that they do not care about fixing it. The subsequent lines "You say, that I suck / You say, I cannot fuck" are even more vicious and seem to be aimed at the singer's sexual prowess or lack thereof.
However, the chorus repeatedly states "No no no no no no no" four times, implying that the singer is not going to be brought down or controlled by this negativity. The repetition of "no" creates a powerful, almost chant-like quality that highlights the force and intensity of the singer's refusal. The lyrics are a clear indication of someone standing up to bullies and not allowing other's words or opinions to define who they are.
