Mom Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting courtside at your favorite basketball games holding hands
Eating 6 dollar popcorn and yelling at some fucking guy front of me in the stands
'Cause he's to tall, and I can't see
And I'm scared 'cause he's way bigger than me
Well you hate my hair and you hate my pants
Can't understand why I stay up late getting drunk with my friends
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm still fun
But your room is empty now and your bed is just a couch
And I just wish that you could get my emails
I wish I could just call you up and tell you that I miss you
But I'm doing fine, are you alright?
And I know it sounds insane but you're stuck inside my brain
And all I want is to return to the safety and comfort of your bed
I like to think that I know some things about myself
But I can't help feeling like a huge douche when I'm around you
Fuck all your friends and their stupid conversations
About how it isn't fair to be us
To be young & dumb & sad & scared & tired & hungry & undervalued & overwhelmed
When all I want to do is smoke some weed and stay in bed
The song "Shred Cruz" by Mom Jeans is a heartfelt and introspective piece about the complexities of navigating relationships after a break-up. The first stanza talks about the desire to be like popular celebrities Drake and Rihanna, particularly in the context of being a happy couple at a basketball game. The second part of the stanza, however, takes a turn towards frustration with the physical obstacles that come with the experience. The singer of the song can't see the game because of an obstructing figure in front of him, and he's scared because the person is bigger than him. This is a metaphor for the emotional obstacles the singer is facing in the aftermath of the break-up. He's feeling lost and small, and he's not sure how to navigate the world without his significant other.
The rest of the song is about the conflicting emotions the singer feels as he tries to move on from the relationship. He knows that his ex didn't like certain things about him, such as his hair and pants. He also acknowledges that he sometimes engages in self-destructive behavior like staying up late and drinking with friends to avoid feeling sad. However, he can't help feeling like his ex was the only one who truly understood him. He wishes he could still talk to her and that he could somehow return to the safety and comfort of her bed. He also struggles with feeling like a "huge douche" around her, as though he's somehow beneath her in some way.
