Jamie Lidell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna stay out on tonight
When you got so many justace
And got so many lies and wise
I don′t know why you have you stay at home
And you have to cry alone
Ohhh nooo!
IIIII would be OK
With a dirtbag
Yeeey your clothes
...
I dust to...
Aow aow aow, all night long
YAAY!
Waaw waaw, oh oh!
When the ... got a thing
Uhhhhhh!
Aow aow aow aow
Yeah
WHATTT!
Why, why, why
Wanna stay out on tonight
When you got so many justace
And got so many lies and wise
I don't know why you have you stay at home
And you have to cry alone
Ohhhh noooo!
Why?
I would be a day
We could stay up late
We could do things our parents quite really do
Alright now!
The lyrics to Jamie Lidell's song "Why_Ya_Why" express confusion and frustration towards a loved one who chooses to stay out all night despite having many responsibilities and personal issues to deal with. Lidell wonders why this person would choose to leave the safety and comfort of home to engage in unfulfilling activities and wallow in their problems alone. He reassures the person that he would be there to support them if they chose to stay home and work through their issues together. The lyrics also contain some nonsensical phrases and sounds, possibly symbolizing the chaotic and irrational nature of the situation.
Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of empathy and concern for the person who is struggling, while also expressing some exasperation at their actions. The repeated chorus of "why, why, why" emphasizes the confusion and lack of understanding that Lidell is experiencing regarding this person's behavior.
