Too Much
Hong Kong Syndikat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a workman that will sleep at night
too much, too much
You want me seven days a week
to treat you right I'm far to weak
too much, too much
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more
stop the way you waste my juice
there's no excuse and no amuse
too much, too much
And if you wanna save my life
you'd better are a restrained wife
too much, too much
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more
stop the way you waste my juice
there's no excuse and no amuse
too much, too much
And if you wanna save my life
you'd better are a restrained wife
too much, too much
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more
Ooh, much more...
You are too much ah!
We are dead ah!
Too much, too much, too much-a.
The song "Too Much" by Hong Kong Syndikat seems to be a lamentation of a person who is drowning in their lover's overwhelming demands. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to keep their lover satisfied and happy, but the lover's expectations are too high and too much to handle. The singer is too weak to keep up with their lover's need for attention and affection, and they feel suffocated by the demands. The repeated refrain of "too much, too much" underscores the feelings of being overwhelmed and suffocated in the relationship.
The verses of the song suggest that the lover is not happy with the level of attention they are receiving from the singer. They want their partner to be there for them seven days a week, but the singer feels like they are unable to meet this expectation. They also complain about the lover wasting their "juice," suggesting that the lover is selfish and not considerate of their needs. The end of the song expresses frustration and the desire to break free from the overwhelming demands of the relationship.
Overall, the song seems to be a critique of a relationship where one partner's expectations are too high, and the other partner feels like they are drowning under the weight of those expectations. It highlights the importance of balance and compromise in a relationship and the need to communicate expectations clearly.
