Taxi
Mosie feat. Bambi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't call no Uber driver
I'll sit you in the backseat
And set your noose on fire
Don't tell me where he's goin'
Don't tell me what he buy's her
I'll bring my brother's clone in
If you tell me which one's nicer
I'm only so high off the ground
A lonely afterthought around your neck
But I'm so pretty
I wait until nightfall to drown
To keep your holy battle crown in check
But you're so giddy
Tip the fancy drummer
Don't use my shiny shoes
And flip the chance of summer
But always walk in twos
Ooo, tell Matilda no
Stop patching up your scarf
Ooo, spelled to fill the role
She read one letter too far
I'm only so high off the ground
A lonely afterthought around your neck
But I'm so pretty
I wait until nightfall to drown
To keep your holy battle crown in check
But you're so giddy
I'm one to tidy up and hear just what you've said
But I'm not too quick to understand what's in your head
Time to split to candyland and find my gingerbread
Now watch me click my heels and hang your troubles from a thread
I'm only so high off the ground
A lonely afterthought around your neck (Around your neck)
But I'm so pretty
I wait until nightfall to drown
To keep your holy battle crown in check (Keep you in check)
But you're so giddy
I'm only so high off the ground
A lonely afterthought around your neck (Around your neck)
But I'm so pretty
I wait until nightfall to drown
To keep your holy battle crown in check (Keep you in check)
But you're so giddy
The lyrics to "Taxi" by Mosie feat. Bambi are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about a strained relationship, possibly one with infidelity or betrayal involved. The lyrics express a desire to keep the truth about the situation hidden, with lines like "Don't tell me where he's goin'/Don't tell me what he buy's her". There is also a sense of competition and jealousy, with the line "I'll bring my brother's clone in/If you tell me which one's nicer".
The chorus repeats the lines "I'm only so high off the ground/A lonely afterthought around your neck/But I'm so pretty/I wait until nightfall to drown/To keep your holy battle crown in check/But you're so giddy". These lines seem to suggest that the singer feels inferior and overlooked, but they are also aware of their own beauty and power. The use of the term "holy battle crown" is interesting and could be interpreted in a variety of ways, perhaps representing a sense of righteousness or moral superiority.
The rest of the lyrics are similarly enigmatic, with references to Matilda, candyland, and gingerbread. The imagery is playful and whimsical, but there is also a darker undercurrent that suggests the singer is grappling with some heavy emotions. Overall, "Taxi" is a complex and intriguing song that invites listeners to delve deeper into its meaning.
