Issues
June & Celly Ru Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The second that I came in
Face straight but legs a shaking
No business, too much pleasure
You can't keep it together
With an angel dressed in leather
When I say kinky I don't mean curls
When I say give me, I mean the world
I know exactly where you get your kicks
Because
Baby I'm giving you the mommy issues
Know I make you wish I put my body on you
Say you'd give me anything
When I call the shots, you call me
Walk into the room and you get mommy issues
The way I move makes you follow my rules
You want me to pull the strings
When I call the shots, you call me
Mommy
Mommy
When I call the shots, you call me
You say you want no other
Picture us under cover
I'll be your confidential lover
Oh, it's so entertaining
Yeah, you love trouble making
But I permit no misbehaving
When I say kinky I don't mean curls
When I say give me, I mean the world
When I say baby you bite your lip
I know exactly where you get your kicks
Because
Baby I'm giving you the mommy issues
Know I make you wish I put my body on you
Say you'd give me anything
When I call the shots, you call me
Walk into the room and you get mommy issues
The way I move makes you follow my rules
You want me to pull the strings
When I call the shots, you call me
M-O-M-M why are you acting shy?
M-O-M-M-Y
When I call the shots, you call me
M-O-M-M why are you acting shy?
M-O-M-M-Y
When I call the shots, you call me
Mommy
The lyrics of "Issues" by June & Celly Ru touch upon themes of power dynamics, dominance, and role playing within a romantic relationship. The song describes a dynamic where one person takes on a dominant role and the other person takes on a submissive role, often referred to as "mommy issues" in the lyrics.
The first verse suggests that the person taking on the submissive role is skilled at hiding their true feelings or desires. They may appear composed on the outside, but internally, they feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. The line "no business, too much pleasure" suggests that they enjoy the forbidden and adventurous aspects of their relationship. The mention of an "angel dressed in leather" indicates that the dominant partner is both alluring and slightly unconventional.
The chorus emphasizes the power dynamic within the relationship. The submissive partner is willing to do anything for the dominant partner, highlighting their control and authority. The reference to "mommy issues" suggests that the submissive partner has an attraction towards dominant figures who possess maternal qualities. The lyrics also imply that the dominant partner enjoys being in control and having their desires fulfilled by the submissive partner. The phrase "when I call the shots, you call me mommy" reinforces the power dynamic and the submissive partner's obedience.
The second verse further explores the dynamics of the relationship. The dominant partner is described as someone who enjoys mischief and entertainment, but also expects obedience from the submissive partner. The emphasis on "no misbehaving" suggests that there are boundaries and rules in place within their power dynamic. The lyrics also hint at a sexual aspect, with references to kinkiness and the submissive partner's pleasure derived from specific actions or behaviors.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the power dynamic and the submissive partner's adherence to the dominant partner's commands. The mention of the letters M-O-M-M-Y in the bridge serves to reinforce the theme of the dominant partner being called "mommy" as a symbol of authority and control. The repetitions suggest that this power dynamic is integral to their relationship and perhaps provides a sense of fulfillment or pleasure for both parties involved.
Overall, "Issues" delves into a complex and unconventional relationship dynamic, exploring themes of power, control, and attraction. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one person assumes a dominant role and the other person willingly embraces a submissive role, delving into the psychology and desires of each partner involved.
