FASHION
Ninja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hell with no tercels is the worst hell. five minutes after brakes
Chasing windmills. we were all born short, that is why we wear
Heels. even the pope wants that bass you feel. he's got tinted windows
And purple stripes, every other part of the car is white. when he
Honks the horn she knows it's time. arguing all day and every
Night. he'll move out of his parents' when she becomes his wife. the
Shine on crucifixes makes you blind! who the fuck but jesus can say
You're fine? who the fuck then? god's in me..

fibreglass hummingbird...tiny bird looks rad! the hummingbird's a
Civic - jesus died for your sins - catholic fashion, that's not just
Bread you're eating

lesson in Civics #1: no hubcaps 'till you're sure you're done. black
Windshield keeps out the sun. kinda meaty purr when the engine
Runs. hanging out by the girl school all of June, like a line of cabs
But better groomed. local parents think the kids are doomed. sleepy
Lids from monoxide fumes. girl he knows leaning on the roof, offers
Her a ride but it's no use. hatchback: graduation's kissing
Booth. held back - goddammit!!!

pull up to the church peel out like a prayer. and not a god damned
Thing can mess my hair. don't need satisfaction 'cause there's
Something there beyond what you see, feel, hear, or wear... whatever!
Let the priests worry about that! he's on the cross to get my
Back. most of the time salvation seems like a trap. bass bins = harps,
Halos = hubcaps. we have it figured out, it's the will of the lord:




Holiness is black light running boards! it's right there in the bible,
Building absorbed, from the first man - I'm adam!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ninja's song "Fashion" are filled with surreal imagery and references to religion, suggesting a critique of both consumerism and traditional faith. The opening line, "Hell with no tercels is the worst hell," is a play on words, as "tercels" can refer to small birds or inexpensive cars. The line suggests that material possessions have a disproportionate value in society, leading people to attach too much importance to them. Similarly, the line "we were all born short, that is why we wear heels" implies that people feel the need to compensate for their physical shortcomings by wearing high heels, which are often seen as a symbol of status and power.


The song also references Catholicism in several ways, such as the description of the pope's car with "purple stripes" and the lyrics "Jesus died for your sins - Catholic fashion, that's not just bread you're eating." These references may suggest a criticism of the church's focus on ritual and materialism rather than spiritual values. The lines "most of the time salvation seems like a trap" and "let the priests worry about that!" suggest a rejection of organized religion as a means of achieving spiritual fulfillment.


Ultimately, "Fashion" is a complex and thought-provoking critique of consumerism and faith, suggesting that true fulfillment can only be found by rejecting materialism and looking beyond traditional institutions.


Line by Line Meaning

Hell with no tercels is the worst hell. five minutes after brakes
Not having a backup plan is a terrible situation, you realize it only after it's too late.


Chasing windmills. we were all born short, that is why we wear Heels.
People are always chasing unattainable things just like Don Quixote chasing windmills. We wear heels to compensate for our short stature.


Even the pope wants that bass you feel. he's got tinted windows And purple stripes, every other part of the car is white. when he Honks the horn she knows it's time.
Even religious people like to enjoy the materialistic things in life like cars and music. The Pope drives a flashy car that distinguishes him from others, and his car horn is a signal for his partner.


Arguing all day and every Night. he'll move out of his parent's when she becomes his wife. the Shine on crucifixes makes you blind! who the fuck but jesus can say You're fine? who the fuck then? god's in me..
No relationship is perfect, and there is always bickering. The guy will move out of his house when he gets married. People who wear a cross as a symbol of their faith become blind to the true teachings of Jesus. It is hard to find the right person to find help, and some people believe in themselves to be their highest power.


Fiberglass hummingbird...tiny bird looks rad! the hummingbird's a Civic - jesus died for your sins - catholic fashion, that's not just Bread you're eating
The fiberglass bird on the car looks cool. The car, like the hummingbird, is fast and powerful. The song reminds us that we eat the body of a person who died for our sins, so we should be more respectful and mindful about it.


Lesson in Civics #1: no hubcaps 'till you're sure you're done. black Windshield keeps out the sun. kinda meaty purr when the engine Runs. hanging out by the girl school all of June, like a line of cabs But better groomed. local parents think the kids are doomed. Sleepy Lids from monoxide fumes. girl he knows leaning on the roof, offers Her a ride but it's no use. hatchback: graduation's kissing Booth. held back - goddammit!!!
Cars have their own fashion rules, and one should not put the hubcaps on their car until they are ready. Black windshields add a sense of danger to the car. The car has a good engine sound, and it looks better compared to other cars hanging outside girl schools. However, the parents think it is a terrible influence on the children. Carbon monoxide fumes make people drowsy. The girl offers him a ride, but they cannot fit inside the hatchback. The car is perfect for graduation's kissing booth.


Pull up to the church peel out like a prayer. and not a god damned Thing can mess my hair. don't need satisfaction 'cause there's Something there beyond what you see, feel, hear, or wear... whatever! Let the priests worry about that! he's on the cross to get my Back. most of the time salvation seems like a trap. bass bins = harps, Halos = hubcaps. we have it figured out, it's the will of the lord: Holiness is black light running boards! it's right there in the bible, Building absorbed, from the first man - I'm adam!
The person is confident about his life choices and does not want to damage his hair. Satisfaction can't make the soul content, and there is always something beyond materialistic things. The singer does not worry about religious doctrines, and he thinks that Jesus suffered for him. Despite this, salvation seems like a trap to them. Cars have replaced the jewelry and ornaments of old. Holiness and illuminated running boards have been a part of humanity since the beginning.
