Candy
Monkey Trouble Lyrics

The lyrics of Monkey Trouble's song Candy reflect a love-hate relationship with sweet treats. The opening line states, "Candies are our friends and enemies," suggesting that while candy is enjoyable to consume, it can also be the cause of dental issues like cavities. Despite this warning, the singer declares that they "don't care if [they] get teased" because they have their "smarties," a type of hard candy. The repetition of the line "I've got my smarties, and that's all I need" suggests that the singer is staunchly loyal to this particular type of candy and does not require anything else to be content.

However, the tone of the song shifts abruptly with the lines, "Why don't you buy me a fucking kitkat, before I give you a fucking smack? / Why don't you get me some fucking candy, before I get crazy!" The use of aggressive language implies that the singer's desire for candy has escalated to an unhealthy level, to the point where they feel inclined to resort to violence if their request is not met. This escalation may reflect the addictive nature of sugar and the effects it can have on individuals who consume it in excess.
