Princes
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I don't know what you're gonna do
Don't know about me
One, two, three, let's go

Tell me what you want me to
So get around me

So run for the gold, run for the money, run for the infinity
We'll never return and be free
But every time that I come around there's too many little things they know about us
No, I can't play

And I don't wanna be your friend
Baby, but there's no other way
I'm the one so baby, don't prentend
And I don't wanna make it bad but there's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over, tight
Got my boys in the water, got my boys in the water

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over, tight
Got my boys in the water, got my boys in the water

Then we fall in the replay
For the night calling
Where princes rule the world
The party ain't jumping
But we should get lost before you

So run for the gold, run for the money, run for the infinity
We'll never return and be free
But every time that I come around, there's too many little things they know about us
No, I can't play

And I don't wanna be your friend
Baby, but there's no other way
I'm the one so baby, don't prentend
And I don't wanna make it bad but there's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over, tight
Got my boys in the water, got my boys in the water

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over, tight
Got my boys in the water, got my boys in the water

And I don't wanna be your friend
Baby, but there's no other way
I'm the one so baby, don't prentend
And I don't wanna make it bad but there's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over, tight
Got my boys in the water, got my boys in the water

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over, tight
Got my boys in the water, got my boys in the water

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oscar and The Wolf's 'Princes' are ambiguous, and seem to indulge a sense of hedonism and abandon, as the singer seems to revel in the freedom of dancing, making his own rules, and not caring about what people think. The chorus urges the listener to 'run for the gold, run for the money, run for the infinity', a reference to chasing after their dreams and living life to the fullest. The verses suggest a sense of rebellion, with lines like 'every time that I come around, there's too many little things they know about us' and 'I don't wanna make it bad but there's no other way'. It could be interpreted as the singer's reluctance to conform and the pressure he feels to act a certain way.


The imagery in the song is also interesting, with lines like 'got my boys in the water, got my girls bending over tight', a nod to the sensual atmosphere of the party or club where the singer finds himself. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song emphasizes the desire to escape and break free from societal expectations.


Overall, 'Princes' is a song that celebrates living without inhibition, taking risks, and not caring about the opinions of others. However, it also hints at the struggles and pressure of acting outside of the norm, making it a relatable and thought-provoking track.


Line by Line Meaning

And I don't know what you're gonna do
I'm uncertain about your actions


Don't know about me
I'm also uncertain about myself


One, two, three, let's go
Let's just dive in


Tell me what you want me to
I need you to communicate your desires


So get around me
Come closer to me


So run for the gold, run for the money, run for the infinity
We should aim for the highest levels of success and abundance


We'll never return and be free
Our success will take us to new heights of freedom


But every time that I come around there's too many little things they know about us
Our actions are being watched and scrutinized


No, I can't play
I can't fake my way through this


And I don't wanna be your friend
I don't want a superficial relationship


Baby, but there's no other way
But we have to interact in some way


I'm the one so baby, don't pretend
I'm the real deal, don't act like I'm not


And I don't wanna make it bad but there's no other way
I don't want things to go wrong, but we can't ignore each other either


I don't want you to make me mad
But I also don't want you to provoke me


Got my boys in the water, got my girls bending over, tight
We're surrounded by our friends and having a good time


Then we fall in the replay
We repeat our actions or decisions


For the night calling
We're lured by the excitement of the night


Where princes rule the world
We feel like royalty in this setting


The party ain't jumping
The party isn't as exciting as we thought it would be


But we should get lost before you
Let's leave before we get bored or disappointed

Lyrics:

And I don't know what you're gonna do.
Don't know about me.
One, two, three let's go.
So tell me when you want me too.
So get around me.

So run for the gold.
Run for the money.
Run for the infinity.
We'll never return and be free.
'Bout every time I come around there's too many little things they know about us.
No, I can't play.

And I dont want to be your friend babe,
There's no other way
I'm the one so baby don't pretend
And I don't want to make it bad so
There's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad.

Got my boys in the water.
Got my girls bending over, tight.
Got my boys in the water. Got my boys in the water.
Got my boys in the water.
Got my girls bending over, tight.
Got my boys in the water. Got my boys in the water.

Then we fall in the replay.
For the night calling.
Where princes rule the world.
The party ain't jumpin'.
But we should get lost before you.

So run for the gold.
Run for the money.
Run for the infinity.
We'll never return and be free.
'Bout every time I come around there's too many little things they know about us.
No, I can't play.

And I dont want to be your friend babe,
There's no other way
I'm the one so baby don't pretend
And I don't want to make it bad so
There's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad.

Got my boys in the water
Got my boys in the water

And I don't wanna be your friend, babe
There's no other way
I'm the one so baby don't pretend
And I don't wanna make it bad so
There's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over. Tight
Got my boys in the water
Got my boys in the water

Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over. Tight
Got my boys in the water
Got my boys in the water

[Intro]
And I don't know what you're gonna do
Don't know about me
One, two, three, let's go

[Verse 1]
Tell me what you want me to
So get around me

[Post-Verse]
So run for the gold, run for the money
Run for the infinity
We'll never return and be free
But every time that I come around
There's too many little things they know about us
No, I can't play

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't wanna be your friend, baby
But there's no other way
I'm the one so baby don't prentend
And I don't wanna make it bad
But there's no other way
I don't want you to make me mad

[Chorus]
Got my boys in the water
Got my girls bending over, tight
Got my boys in the water
Got my boys in the water

When I was in middle school, we had a teacher named Ayça who taught us German. She used to play this song before starting every class, and we loved it. I recently remembered that song. I don’t know what she is doing right now, but the last time I saw her was on YouTube, where she was vlogging in Germany. I hope she’s doing okay. Thank you for introducing me with this song.

@Lemonchellotti

When you think that your music soul is fed up by any kind of pop music, and nothing can`t amaze you because all the best have sung...suddenly you find it...and it`s brilliant.
