Stupid
J.P. Bimeni & The Black Belts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you’re stupid for giving in
We’re stupid for caring this much
Cause in love, there’s no winning side
I’m stupid for staying in your bed
You’re stupid for holding me close
We’re stupid for letting the sun rise
In lust, it should end in the night
You’re stupid too
Cause we both play games we’re bound to lose
We’re stupid for thinking our art is worth more than our hearts
We should stop breaking our hearts for the sake of our art
But let me be stupid just a little longer
I promise I’ll learn to grow up by next summer
Sacrificed myself on the altar of dignity (And let you win)
I may have lost the game but you lost me
I’m stupid
You’re stupid too
Cause we both play games we’re bound to lose
I’m stupid
You’re stupid too
Cause we both play games we’re bound to lose
The song "STUPID" by J.P. Bimeni & The Black Belts reflects on the foolish and destructive nature of love and relationships. The lyrics depict a situation where both partners are aware of the pointlessness of their affair and continue to indulge in it anyway. The lines "I’m stupid for starting this, and you’re stupid for giving in" shows that both parties acknowledge that they are making a mistake. The line "In love, there’s no winning side" suggests that in a romantic relationship, there can be no winners or losers - only two people who end up losing themselves in each other.
The line "We’re stupid for letting the sun rise, in lust, it should end in the night" confirms that their relationship is based on physical attraction and nothing more. The last two lines "Cause we both play games we’re bound to lose" expresses that they both know their affair is short-lived and that they are both bound to come out of it hurt and defeated. Even after acknowledging the self-destructive nature of their relationship, they are still willing to play along, and in the end, it is only their hearts that suffer.
