Red
Mr. Rod Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm both your friend and foe so don't
Buy, sell, or trade anything from me
I know you feel as good as I feel
Too bad it wasn't yesterday
'Cause we'd feel twice as good right now
Undress me now stay while you can
Seduction can be oh, so nice
I'm not as sick as you might think
'Cause your thing has that awful stink
Of that shit you use
I'm not the only one who
The only one who knows
The only one who knows
The only one
Take these hands and run along with me
Doing this I know would set us free
Only if you weren't such a fucking tease
Somehow you'd always drag me to my knees
This disease I call it abstinence
I'm like your pistol in your hand
Undress me now stay while you can
Seduction can be oh, so nice
I'm not as sick as you might think
'Cause your thing has that awful stink
Of that shit you use
I'm not the only one who
The only one who knows
The only one who knows
The only one
The lyrics of "Red" by Mr. Rod can be interpreted in a few different ways, but at their core they seem to be about a complicated and perhaps unhealthy relationship between two people. The singer is addressing their partner, telling them to be honest about their feelings and not to try to manipulate them for personal gain. They acknowledge that they have a difficult dynamic, with a push-and-pull of attraction and frustration, and recognize that their partner often leaves them unsatisfied or unfulfilled. The singer describes themselves as a "pistol in your hand," something that is dangerous and tempting but ultimately destructive if used improperly. They seem to be questioning the value of their relationship and whether it's worth the pain and disappointment it often brings.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it's about addiction or co-dependency. The singer describes their attraction to their partner as a kind of drug, with the seduction drawing them in but ultimately leaving them feeling empty or sick. They also mention the "disease" of abstinence, suggesting that they feel like they need this relationship even though it's not necessarily good for them. The repeated refrain of "the only one who knows" could be a reference to the sense of isolation that can come with addiction, where the person feels like they're the only one who truly understands what they're going through.
Another interpretation could be that the song is about a manipulative and controlling relationship. The singer warns their partner not to try to "buy, sell, or trade" anything from them, suggesting that their partner has a tendency to use their relationship for personal gain. They also describe their partner as a "fucking tease," implying that they string the singer along and never fully commit to them. The image of the singer as a gun or weapon could be seen as a metaphor for the power dynamics in the relationship - the partner has the potential to hurt the singer, but the singer also has the potential to hurt the partner.
