Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Water flows down to my waist
You drink beer like it’s a suture
Telling bears to scram
I could paint a portrait of you
From the porch-light-halo above you
Scared to hear a shout, like a bug
Or a right shoeprint on my chest
I once breathed so easily
Head to toe in ecstasy
Now the only place i want to be is in a home, baby, not even mine
If i had the last word, well you know what i would say
“ignorance is bliss
Blisters, once picked, forever stay”
Breathless intentions, won’t live to regret this
Take your time, slip from my mind
I hear you asking “who am i?”
What do you know that i don’t?
Kick your legs while you’re talking on the phone
One last starry night spent alone
Leave your number next to mine
How dare they call me what i am?!
You come in all shapes and sizes
Not all heads are synchronized it’s
Kinda funny who you are
Is who you think you wanna be
I could type a paper on you
Stapled to your childhood posters
Leave it to us “unnatural” to be the
Only thing you think to see
Take a moment to…
GET TO KNOW ME
I could paint a portrait of you
From the porch-light-halo above you
You drink beer like it’s a suture
Slurring me to go
If i had the last word, well you know what i would say
“ignorance is bliss
Blisters, once picked, forever stay”
Breathless intentions, won’t live to regret this
Take your time, slip from my mind
I hear you asking “who am i?”
What do you know that i don’t?
Kick your legs while you’re talking on the phone
One last starry night spent alone
Leave your number next to mine
How dare they call me what i am?!
The song "They Watchin Me" by Mars explores themes of identity, self-reflection, and societal expectations. In the first verse, the singer finds themselves immersed in a situation where they feel overwhelmed and trapped, symbolized by being knee-deep to their thighs in wait. The imagery of water flowing down to their waist could represent the emotional weight they are carrying. The reference to drinking beer like a suture and telling bears to scram may suggest attempts to numb pain or escape from threatening forces.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's inner turmoil and sense of longing for a sense of belonging. They express a desire to be in a home, possibly seeking comfort and stability. The mention of ignorance as bliss and blisters that forever stay hints at the consequences of turning a blind eye to harsh realities or avoiding confronting painful truths. This introspective reflection speaks to the complexities of human emotions and the struggle to find peace amidst chaos.
The third verse shifts to a more confrontational tone as the singer questions their own identity and challenges external perceptions. The line "How dare they call me what I am?!" suggests frustration at being misjudged or misunderstood by others. The reference to different shapes and sizes and lack of synchronization in heads alludes to the diversity and individuality of people, emphasizing the need for acceptance and understanding.
In the final verse, the singer calls for a deeper connection and a genuine effort to know them beyond superficial appearances or assumptions. The repeated lines about painting a portrait and the porch-light-halo above could symbolize a desire to reveal their true self amidst shadows and distortions. The cycle of breathless intentions and slipping from the mind reflects a struggle to maintain authenticity in a world that may seek to mold or define them in ways that don't align with their true essence.
Overall, "They Watchin Me" by Mars delves into the complexities of self-discovery, societal pressures, and the quest for authentic connection. The lyrics encourage introspection, challenge preconceived notions, and emphasize the importance of recognizing and embracing individuality in a world that often seeks to conform or label.
