Overall Meaning

In Hoodie Allen's song "Words of Wisdom," he describes a woman who speaks words that are sophisticated and wise that would melt in your hands. The chorus repeats the phrase as the woman speaks words of wisdom. In the first verse, Hoodie Allen explains that he had a vision of winning, but it disappeared, and now he has to work hard to get back up again. He compares himself to Landon Donovan and says that things are not always what they seem. He is in the game of delivering goods and not catering to anyone. He is hoping to make life decisions with tips that waiters give. He's waiting for his break and expects that he'll have to clean things up before he gets there. He aims to keep a level head and knows that once he gets it, they can't take it back. He references "Back to the Future" and says that they don't need roads.


In the second verse, he discusses the lies people tell him and that they think he's too skinny like Kate Moss. He's all about promotions now, but he aims to be the boss someday. His flow is like playing basketball and getting around players easily. He says his name is stuck in people's throats like a late cough, and while he's congested, he has a lot of fans who doubt him. He believes that they are the blue chip and give you the new shit. They avoid loose lips and came out of the cage, and now everyone wants them to baby-proof everything. Hoodie Allen does this for the babes but never ruthlessly. He watches his mouth just as he would watch a toothpick. When people ask who he is, he says he's holding all these tracks like a backpack. He understands that life is like blackjack and that he's looking to his future without backtracking.


In the third verse, he says that if he goes, he might fall, but if he stays tall, he knows that he will be able to resist. These words are what he needs to keep going on this path. Hoodie Allen believes that those words can't write him off. He's going to be here forever, and he leaves us with this in the end.
