Max Normal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just been waiting for the right moment
I've been meaning to tell you something
I just been waiting for the right moment
Please don't knock on my door, come into my house
Eat my food, and sleep on my couch
Piss in my toilet, and abuse my hospitality
Cause if I come across like my name is Mister Contradiction
When one love becomes a "i'm not here to nurse yo
Insecurities, my brother, you're a big boy now
And yo, I'm not your mother
It's time for you to stand on your own two feet
But I have this nagging suspicion you don't need to be
Hearing this shit from me
So let me stop beating 'round the bush, get to the point
This is my house son and your luck has just struck out
So act like you know homeboy and get the fuck out
I've been meaning to tell you something
I just been waiting for the right moment
I've been meaning to tell you something
I just been waiting for the right moment
I've been meaning to tell you something
I just been waiting for the right moment
I've been meaning to tell you something
I just been waiting for the right moment
I spit my words beautifully
My graffiti looks so pretty like I get paid to splash my shit all over the city
The song "Space invaders" by Max Normal is a powerful statement about ownership and boundaries. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been holding back on telling someone something important, and that they should not abuse the singer's hospitality or take advantage of their kindness. The singer seems to be frustrated with the person's behavior, telling them to leave if they cannot respect the boundaries of the singer's home. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is someone who values honesty and directness, and is not afraid to speak their mind when necessary.
Furthermore, the song reflects a larger societal issue of people taking advantage of others and not understanding boundaries. The singer's frustration with the person in question could also be seen as a wider commentary on how we as a society have lost the ability to understand personal space and the importance of respect for other people's boundaries. The use of the phrase "Space invaders" in the title of the song suggests that this is a common phenomenon that affects many people, and that it needs to be addressed.
In conclusion, "Space invaders" by Max Normal is a powerful statement about the importance of boundaries and ownership, and reflects a larger societal issue of people not understanding the value of personal space and respect. The lyrics suggest that we need to become more aware of our actions and how they impact others, and that we need to start valuing honesty and directness in our relationships with others.

I have a message for you that I've been wanting to convey
I just been waiting for the right moment
I have not yet found the opportune time to deliver this message
Please don't knock on my door, come into my house
I ask that you refrain from entering my home uninvited
Eat my food, and sleep on my couch

Piss in my toilet, and abuse my hospitality
Additionally, if you do enter my home, do not take advantage of my generosity and disrespect me
Unless you in the mood for some major fuckin' friction
If you ignore my requests, expect there to be conflict
Cause if I come across like my name is Mister Contradiction
If I seem like a hypocrite
When one love becomes a "i'm not here to nurse yo
When I cannot continue to be nurturing and supportive
Insecurities, my brother, you're a big boy now
You are responsible for your own emotional wellbeing, and need to take ownership of it now that you are an adult
And yo, I'm not your mother
I am not your caretaker, and cannot continue to play that role
It's time for you to stand on your own two feet
It is time for you to be independent and self-sufficient
But I have this nagging suspicion you don't need to be
However, I worry that you may not be ready for this level of responsibility
Hearing this shit from me
Hearing this blunt truth from me
So let me stop beating 'round the bush, get to the point
Let me stop being vague and address the issue directly

My graffiti looks so pretty like I get paid to splash my shit all over the city
My street art is of high quality and appears as if I am a professional artist commissioned to create it around the city

Such a beautiful song
@TabithaGreenwood
Actually never really made the connection before, but totally hear it now!
@ENJ4321
He sounds like Atmosphere on this album. He is like Slug from Atmosphere with an accent.
@virus2003
Completely agree. Slug is a one-trick pony, and his vocal melodies are incredibly trite. I think Waddy's closer to Kool Keith with his off-beat tendencies, and 'sing-song' choruses.
