Moods
Paul D. Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I be getting high every damn night
Mood swings so big like damn
Want stacks so big that my pants tight
Got the next girl waiting on a red eye
Think way too much
Don't say way too much
I hit the party turn up with the team til I grew up
Drink til I threw up
Smoke til I pass out
Too many drugs got me living too fast now
Live through the past so you know I been ready
And my pocket full of pills so my eyes stay heavy
Tell me why they all fake even at the cemetery
I be staying with the bros just like Ed Ed and Eddy
Ain't been sleeping for days I got a lot on my brain
We ain't thinking the same I'm good at hiding the pain
She was hoping I stay but there's a lot on my plate
Taking two to the face and now I'm flying away
Think way too much
Don't say way too much
I hit the party turn up with the team til I grew up
Drink til I threw up
Smoke til I pass out
Too many drugs got me living too fast now
I be getting high every damn night
Damn right
I be getting high every damn night
Damn right
I be getting high every damn night
Mood swings so big like
I be getting high every damn night
Mood swings so big like
Think way too much
Don't say way too much
I hit the party turn up with the team til I grew up
Drink til I threw up




Smoke til I pass out
Too many drugs got me living too fast now

The man responds positively to her request, and they dance together. While they dance, they hold tightly to each other, and the woman begins to feel a romantic passion for the man. She then suggests that they share the moonlight and be in the moment together. The man then responds and tells her that it is wrong to keep his two lips waiting when he is in the mood.

The lyrics, the melodies, and the instruments used in the song all depict the swing and jazz genre that populated the time. The music of "Moods" communicates the emotional and romantic tension of the lyrics and creates an environment in which the listener can feel transported to the 1940s.
