Motel Connection Lyrics

The lyrics of Motel Connection's song "Three" paint a picture of a person who feels out of sync with the world around them. The singer describes feeling disconnected from the people and trends around them, but also seems to find comfort in their own perspective. The repetition of the line "I'm sure, they're not my kind" emphasizes this sense of alienation.

The first stanza begins with the singer not hearing someone's voice "over [their] shoulder," suggesting that they feel alone or unsupported. They describe the situation as "danger," which could imply that they feel threatened by the world around them. The line "Naked, but out of sight" is ambiguous but could be interpreted as feeling exposed or vulnerable, but also hidden or ignored.

The next stanza discusses the singer's perspective on the world around them. They reject the idea of needing proof or demonstration in order to believe something, and describe the sights and stars around them as "thin," potentially suggesting a lack of substance or meaning. The line "This one is not my world" emphasizes their sense of displacement.

The chorus repeats the line "All the young communicators, all dressed in style," describing a group of people who are fashionable and trendy. The singer feels that they are not part of this group and emphasizes their differences. The line "I'm sure, they're not my kind" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the singer's sense of alienation.

The final stanza repeats the chorus but adds the line "I hear them and cry," suggesting that the singer is affected emotionally by the voices of these young communicators. However, they still believe in their own perspective, describing their own thoughts as a "sun" that they will walk toward, even if it means embracing their "dark side."
