Brandy
Ivan Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I arrived I could easily tell
That you were lonely and you wanted to have some fun
You were bored so you went and found someone
Here's my two cents
A penny for each thought
My favorite slut
In your money honey charity pot
Your high horse, it's on a pedistool
I've had quite enough
So let me interrupt you
And the air, it's growing thin
And soon we'll all be victim to your misfortune
Hide in the comfort of your sheltered world
Do as your told obedient girl
Here's my two cents
A penny for each thought
My favorite slut
I wanna dig my fingers
In your money honey charity pot
Such a contradiction we've got ourselves in
It's easy to be together
But it's easier to fall apart
It's easy to be together
But it's easier to fall apart
So just go and leave
Empty my heart, Empty my heart
Empty my heart, Empty my heart
Empty my heart, Empty my heart
And leave me in despair
It's easy to be together
But it's easier to fall apart
It's easy to be together
But it's easier to fall apart
So just go and leave
Empty my heart, Empty my heart
It's a love and hate affair
You don't another beer
You're ready
For this rendezvous, rendezvous
The lyrics of Ivan Theory's song "Brandy" depict the singer arriving at a hotel to find the titular character, whom he describes as bored and looking for someone. The singer seeks to engage in a sexual encounter with her, using crude language to express his desire. The following verse seems to indicate a shift in tone, as the singer turns to more confrontational language to express his dissatisfaction with Brandy's apparent lack of concern for those outside her sheltered world. The chorus emphasizes the difficulty of maintaining a relationship and the ease at which it can break apart. The song ends with a call for Brandy to leave and for the singer to be left alone in his despair.
The lyrics of "Brandy" explore a variety of themes, including lust, frustration, and the dichotomy of relationships. The song's exploration of the fragility of relationships makes it a poignant commentary on the difficulties of human connection. Additionally, the song's depiction of a woman's sexual agency and the singer's crude language raises questions about power dynamics and gender roles.
Line by Line Meaning
It was late when I came to your hotel
I arrived at your hotel late at night
When I arrived I could easily tell
I could easily see that you were feeling lonely and wanted some company
That you were lonely and you wanted to have some fun
You were bored and wanted to have a good time
You were bored so you went and found someone
You were looking for someone to spend time with because you were bored
Here's my two cents
This is my opinion
A penny for each thought
I have several thoughts on this matter
My favorite slut
The person I am talking about is someone I have a close relationship with
I wanna dip my fingers in your money honey charity pot
I want to take advantage of your wealth and generosity
Your high horse, it's on a pedestal
You have an attitude of superiority that you display to others
I've had quite enough
I am tired of your behavior
So let me interrupt you
I am going to stop you from talking
And the air, it's growing thin
There is a sense of tension in the air
And soon we'll all be victim to your misfortune
Your negative behavior will affect us all
Hide in the comfort of your sheltered world
You seek refuge in a protected environment
Do as your told obedient girl
You are willing to follow orders from others
Such a contradiction we've got ourselves in
Our situation is filled with irony and inconsistency
It's easy to be together
It's simple to be in a relationship with someone
But it's easier to fall apart
It's much simpler to end that relationship
So just go and leave
I want you to go away
Empty my heart, Empty my heart
I want to remove all feelings for you from my heart
And leave me in despair
I want you to leave me feeling hopeless and defeated
It's a love and hate affair
Our relationship can be both positive and negative
You don't need another beer
You don't require any more alcohol
You're ready for this rendezvous, rendezvous
You are prepared to meet me for our planned meeting
