Romeo Blues
Kik Tracee Lyrics

Slow motion reply of a 9 to 5
The mundanity of everyday life seems to drag on slowly and tediously

Visual infatuation, just caught my eye
Suddenly, a beautiful woman has caught the singer's attention

The last six shooters, shooters been running dry
The singer has run out of luck and opportunities to impress the woman

Desperation, telling lies
Out of desperation, the artist begins to lie and exaggerate to impress the woman

That nasty little girl
The woman is suddenly seen in a derogatory light

I want to get into her world, I'm on the outside
Despite being on the outside looking in, the singer desires to be a part of the woman's life

I'm on the outside looking in
The singer is feeling excluded and left out of the woman's world

I can't believe what's happening on the inside
The artist is mystified by the woman's world and their behavior

Romeo
The artist refers to himself as Romeo, the ultimate romantic hero

Same time 9 to 5 Romeo takes another bite outta life
Despite their romantic tendencies, the artist is still living an ordinary, unfulfilling life

Disguised eyes they meet, Juliet walks down a different street
The woman (Juliet) and the singer have different ways of looking at the world

Move a little closer, I got something you should know
The artist entices the woman to come closer, implying that they have something important to share

Look into my eyes do you see another Romeo
The singer is challenging the woman to see beyond his romantic facade

She gets to looking like a prisoner
The woman begins to feel trapped and restricted in the singer's presence

Prisoner of the streets she walks
The woman's life, choices, and experiences, are the product of her environment

I never thought I'd be the victim
The artist didn't expect to be at the mercy of someone else's affections

The victim, victim of the Romeo blues
The artist has been struck with a sense of loss and despair, after being rejected by the woman

Where for art thou now Romeo
The singer is questioning the whereabouts of their romantic ideal

You just caught my eye
The singer has found someone else to desire and impress

Hey you, why don't you move a little bit closer
The artist is again inviting someone to get closer and connect with them

Tell me what you see
The artist is interested in how they are perceived by others

Do you see another Romeo
The artist is still holding on to their romantic image, despite their hardships

I ain't gonna be your Romeo
The singer is rejecting the idea of being someone else's romantic hero
