KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green
Don't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go you're gone forever
You string along, you string along
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green
In the song "Karma Chameleon", KIDZ BOP Kids are expressing their frustration with a deceptive and inconsistent romantic partner. The lyrics suggest that the partner in question alternates between showing love and deception, and that the singer is struggling to make sense of their feelings towards this person. The repetition of the line "You come and go" reinforces this idea, suggesting that the partner is unpredictable and unreliable.
The main chorus of the song mentions karma, which is a concept in Hinduism and Buddhism that refers to the principle of cause and effect. The singer seems to be suggesting that the inconsistent behavior of their partner will ultimately lead to negative consequences for them, implying that the idea of karma is playing a role in the relationship. Additionally, the lyrics imply that the singer wishes that their partner's "colors" were "like [their] dream", suggesting that the partner's true nature is not aligned with the persona they are presenting.
Overall, "Karma Chameleon" is a catchy song with a deeper meaning about the frustrations and complexities of romantic relationships, particularly those that involve deception and inconsistency.
