MU330 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sure I like your smile
And I like to talk awhile
But what I really like
Is mealing on your stuff

You don't even know how much I care for you
Care to see you naked
Naked as can be

Oh

I'm just so tired of romance
I just want to get in your pants
I just want to meal on your stuff

Ba-da-boom-ba-da-bing
And then your bouncing on my thing
Then the next thing that you ask for is a ring

You don't even know how much I plan for you
I plan to take your money
And buy a new guitar

I don't want a love that will last
I just want a piece of your ass
I just want to meal on your stuff

Sure I like your smile
And I like to talk awhile
But what I really like is mealing on your stuff

You don't even know how much I care for you
I care to see you naked
Naked as can be

Oh

I don't want to love that will last
I just want a piece of your ass
I just want to meal on your stuff

Yiii--yoo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MU330's song "Stuff" are a crude and direct expression of the singer's desire for physical gratification and material gain from a romantic partner. The repetitive use of the phrase "meal on your stuff" is a vulgar way of suggesting sexual intimacy and consumption of the partner's possessions. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer may be interested in more than sex, but quickly reveals that they simply want to use and exploit their partner for their own pleasure and selfish motives.

The song's chorus repeats the line "you don't even know how much I care for you" followed by a statement that contradicts the sentiment, illustrating the singer's insincerity and dishonesty. The mention of taking the partner's money and buying a new guitar reinforces the idea that the singer is only interested in using their partner for their own gain, rather than building a genuine connection or relationship.

The song's use of crass language and objectification of women has drawn criticism over the years, but some argue that the song is a commentary on the shallow nature of contemporary relationships and the importance placed on material possessions. Regardless of interpretation, "Stuff" is a prime example of MU330's blend of punk, ska, and pop music and the band's irreverent and sometimes controversial lyrics.

Line by Line Meaning

Sure I like your smile
I do admire your smile

And I like to talk awhile
I enjoy speaking with you for a while

But what I really like
However, what I truly desire

Is mealing on your stuff
Is to consume your intimate parts

You don't even know how much I care for you
You have no idea how much I value you

Care to see you naked
I desire to witness you naked

Naked as can be
With every possible inch of skin revealed

Oh
Expressing excitement and eagerness

I'm just so tired of romance
I'm weary of romantic relationships

I just want to get in your pants
I simply wish to have sex with you

Ba-da-boom-ba-da-bing
Expressing enthusiasm and energy
