Suburbia
Moxie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe my sweet voice
Maybe my girlish face
Gives an illusion of virtuosity
If it were my choice
You're hear my beat
My bass find a seclusion and fill my curiosity
If we were still in 7th grade I'd want to stay on 2nd base
But we're not
So put it in
You say you want to please me
And then all you do is tease me
Here's a lesson.
Just put it in me
Now
I'll pull my shirt low, i let my hair go wile
I bat my lashes and give my evil smile
Then watch your face glow
Like an embarrassed child
Your eyes do dashes -
Come on let's go the mile
What are you trying to protect?
I already have self-respect
I don't need yours so don't neglect me
Put it in
I ask you why you hesitate you say it's just our 2nd date
I don't care and I can't wait
Just put it in me
Now
So what's your credo?
Do you have a low libido?
Are you gay?
Oblivious?
You don't like me?
You like me too much?
Watching you is like watching an x-rated movie where nobody takes off their
clothes
What are you trying to protect?
I already have self-respect
I don't need yours so don't neglect me
I ask you why you hesitate
You say it's just our 2nd date
I don't care and I can't wait




Put it in me
Now...

Overall Meaning

The song "Suburbia" by Moxie is a bold, unapologetic exploration of female sexuality, consent, and the double standards that exist in our society when it comes to male and female desires. The first verse suggests that the singer's appearance might give the impression of innocence or purity, but in reality, she is curious and wants to explore her sexuality. She expresses her frustration with her partner, who claims to want to please her but only teases her, refusing to give her what she desires. The singer asserts her agency and asks her partner to "just put it in" without hesitation or excuses.


The second verse is even more explicit, with the singer asking her partner if he has a low libido, if he is gay, or if he simply doesn't like her. She challenges the notion that women should be passive and obedient when it comes to sex, and demands that her desires be respected and fulfilled. The repeated refrain of "put it in me" is a powerful assertion of female desire and agency, challenging the idea that sex is something men take from women rather than something that women actively seek and want.


Line by Line Meaning

Maybe my sweet voice
Perhaps my voice sounds charming and lovely


Maybe my girlish face
Perhaps my youthful appearance


Gives an illusion of virtuosity
Creates a false perception of my abilities


If it were my choice
If the decision were mine to make


You're hear my beat
You would hear my music


My bass find a seclusion and fill my curiosity
The low notes on my instrument provide a sense of exploration and wonder


If we were still in 7th grade I'd want to stay on 2nd base
If we were younger, I would be content with staying on second base in baseball


But we're not
However, we are not younger anymore


So put it in
So, perform intercourse


You say you want to please me
You say you desire to satisfy me


And then all you do is tease me
But all you do is provoke or tempt me


Here's a lesson.
Here is an instructive message.


Just put it in me
Engage in sexual intercourse with me


Now
Right now


I'll pull my shirt low, i let my hair go wile
I will lower my shirt and let my hair appear wild


I bat my lashes and give my evil smile
I flutter my eyelashes and give a mischievous grin


Then watch your face glow
Then observe your face light up


Like an embarrassed child
In a manner similar to a ashamed juvenile


Your eyes do dashes
Your eyes move quickly


Come on let's go the mile
Let us engage in sexual acts to the fullest extent


What are you trying to protect?
What are you attempting to guard against?


I already have self-respect
I already have a high regard for myself


I don't need yours so don't neglect me
I do not require your protection or disregard me


I ask you why you hesitate you say it's just our 2nd date
I inquire on why you are delaying and you reply that we have only gone out twice


I don't care and I can't wait
I do not care about waiting, I am eager to proceed


So what's your credo?
So, what is your belief system?


Do you have a low libido?

Are you gay?
Are you homosexual?


Oblivious?
Are you unaware?


You don't like me?
Do you not like me?


You like me too much?

Watching you is like watching an x-rated movie where nobody takes off their clothes

What are you trying to protect?
What are you trying to guard against?


I already have self-respect
I already have a high regard for myself


I don't need yours so don't neglect me
I do not need your protection or disregard me.


I ask you why you hesitate
I inquire on why you are delaying


You say it's just our 2nd date
You reply that we have only gone out twice


I don't care and I can't wait
I do not care about waiting, I am eager to proceed


Put it in me
Engage in sexual intercourse with me


Now...
Right now...
