BOOM
Ingo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ought to get enough
You talk big and you lie
And how you took her from behind
Just to set you off
'Come on now lady, cry'
It's maybe 'cause when you go out
You make a bet but in vain
And how you show off your chest
You work out but instead
You need a gym for your brains
No one needs your kind
You phoney superman
You're just a muscular ken
You're hunting down an innocent plastic girl
To play with in your dull legoland
Going up and boom!
Lightin'up the room
Saying you are cool
Acting like a fool
It’s maybe 'cause when you wake up
You ought to get enough
You talk big and you lie
And how you took her from behind
Just to set you off
'Come on now lady, cry'
No one needs your kind
You phoney superman
You're just a fisher-price fack
Living in a pokemon-vibe
Collecting nudy cards
Come on now macho die!
Going up and boom!
Lightin'up the room
Saying you are cool
And acting like a fool
Going up and boom!
You're lightin'up
You're breaking up
You're breaking every rule
Going up and boom!
You're lightin'up the room
You're saying you are cool
But acting like a fool
In Ingo's song Boom, the lyrics criticize toxic masculinity and the objectification of women by men who are obsessed with their physical appearance. The lyrics use sarcasm to mock men who think they are superior to others due to their muscles and good looks, but lack intelligence and empathy. The singer suggests that such men are only interested in manipulating women for their own pleasure, and that they are not capable of having meaningful relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.
The first verse describes the hypocrisy of a man who boasts about his sexual conquests but then demands that his partner cry to fulfill his ego. The second verse portrays a man who is obsessed with his own physique but has no substance in his personality or behavior, and fails to attract the kind of women he desires. The chorus emphasizes the irony of these men who believe that they are cool and popular but are actually immature and ignorant. The song concludes with a call to action for such men to change their attitudes and stop objectifying women if they want to be accepted as real men.
