Warehouse
M|O|O|N Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who do you think you wanna be?
It's not so easy
After all your incompetence is clear
It's bleeding through your shirt

... but you try so hard to be something that you're not
I'll take the blame for exposing the truth
You're just a lie

In your eyes, I see everything you are
You're Plastic
Your words to me are as fake as your smile
You're Plastic

While you speak all of the lies
I'm going through the motions
Of leaving you all by yourself
You're despondent, shallow, and fake

... but you try so hard to be something that you're not
I'll take the blame for exposing the truth
You're just a lie

In your eyes, I see everything you are
You're Plastic




Your words to me are as fake as your smile
You're Plastic

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Warehouse" by M|O|O|N are a scathing critique of someone who is trying too hard to be something that they're not. The opening lines "Who do you think you wanna be? / It's not so easy" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is addressing someone who is pretending to be something they're not, and is doing a poor job of it. The line "After all your incompetence is clear / It's bleeding through your shirt" is a metaphorical representation of the person's true nature showing through their false mask.


The chorus of the song is particularly biting. The singer calls out the person for being "plastic," both in their appearance and in their words. They are fake, shallow, and unable to connect with others on a genuine level. The line "While you speak all of the lies / I'm going through the motions / Of leaving you all by yourself" shows that the singer is distancing themselves from this person, who they see as toxic and insincere.


The final lines of the song "You're just a lie" drive the point home. The person is not who they claim to be, and their attempts to be something else are transparent.


Overall, "Warehouse" is a powerful indictment of those who try too hard to project an image that is not true to who they are. It's a reminder that honesty and authenticity are more important than trying to fit into a particular mold.
