Little Boy
Kuzu Mellow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To him i′m just a little boy
Crying out for attention
I just want to feel the joy
When he calls my name.
To him i'm just a little boy
Crying out for attention
I just want to feel the joy
When he calls my name

I′ve had too many sleepless nights
Thinking of the things he said
Even if he's by my side
Horrid thoughts inside my head
Say the things I wanna hear
For a smile
Maybe he will stick around for awhile
Start to comtemplate myself
Inside my mind
Try to be the things he wants
But it's never right
We can speed on down highway
Tonight
Maybe things will go my way
Tonight

And I just want to be
The best you′ve ever had
Be a pretty boy for you
Is that so hard
You′re so mean
But I'm fine
My mental
Is alright

Suffocation in my dreams
Pull my heart out the seams
Honestly you never change
I don′t either and it's sad
Hard to trust the words you say
Only keep me for escape
You don′t understand my pain
And I think I'm fine with that
You don′t care
And I don't mind
I just wanna share my time
Only trying to survive
Won't you hold me through
The night
Whisper words into my ear
Make me feel like
I mean something to you

To him I′m just a little boy
Crying out for attention




I just want to feel the joy
When he calls my name

Overall Meaning

"Little Boy" by Kuzu Mellow is a poignant song that expresses the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics convey the feelings of a young man who is desperately seeking the attention and affection of someone who views him as nothing more than a "little boy." The repeated chorus, "To him I'm just a little boy, crying out for attention, I just want to feel the joy when he calls my name," reinforces the sense of longing and vulnerability that permeates the song.


The verse describes the singer's struggles with self-doubt and anxiety as he tries to please his beloved. He is haunted by the words and actions of his lover and tries to mold himself into the ideal partner. This is evident in the lines, "Say the things I wanna hear for a smile, maybe he will stick around for a while, start to contemplate myself inside my mind, try to be the things he wants but it's never right." However, despite his efforts, he is unable to earn the affection and trust he craves, leading to feelings of suffocation and heartbreak.


The song addresses several themes such as the struggles of unrequited love, self-doubt, and the desire for acceptance. The lyrics can resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain and frustration of unreciprocated feelings. The song's melody and slow rhythm amplify the emotional weight of the lyrics, making it a haunting and memorable piece of music.
