Mr. Twin Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really want to catch your first name
I′ve got all the drinks that I can handle
Stop telling me so much about yourself
What makes you so certain
That I want to be forced to notice you
You're not even aware of what a burden you are
Oh yeah rude boy, is that all?
How′d you get this way?
All you are is face
You need to be everything if you want anything
I can′t seem to understand politeness
I can't have you hang around much longer
You can′t seem to get enough attention
You could give someone else your number
What makes you so certain
That I want to be forced to notice you
You're not even aware of what a burden you are
Too vain to even read what I′m thinking
Oh yeah, rude boy, must you go on?
My minds been made
All you are is fake
You need to be everything if you want anything
Oh yeah rude boy, I've had enough
I don′t fall for that
Do you have a heart?
You need to be certain inside if you want anything
The lyrics of Mr. Twin Sister's song "Rude Boy" express the singer's frustration with a person who is egotistical, self-centered, and overly talkative. The singer doesn't want to get to know the person or even learn their name. They feel that the person is a burden and too vain to see how their behavior impacts others. The chorus repeats the phrase "rude boy" and questions how this person got this way, suggesting that their behavior is intentional rather than accidental. The lyrics imply that the person is fake and only cares about their own interests.
The song's tone is dismissive and confrontational. The singer has reached their limit with this person and wants them to leave. They express a desire for the person to be certain inside themselves if they want to have anything, which could be interpreted as a call for them to be more self-aware and considerate of others. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of frustration with the superficiality and self-centeredness of others.
