Romeo
Planet Smashers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not even bi-sexual
Am I just a thespian
Acting out Romeo?
We cruise chicks together
We dress in real fake leather
But sometimes the weather,
We can kiss like mothers
We can sleep like brothers
We can walk like lovers,
But that's as far as it goes
And so I do not hesitate
To hope one day that she turns straight
And if that day never comes,
Then make me a lesbian
The lyrics to Planet Smashers’ song Romeo are a tongue-in-cheek exploration of identity and sexuality. The singer laments that his girlfriend is a lesbian and not bisexual, wondering if he is merely acting out the role of Romeo. Despite their differing sexual orientations, the couple still enjoys cruising for women and dressing up in fake leather. However, they are limited in their physical intimacy, only able to kiss and sleep together without any romantic or sexual attraction.
The song’s chorus expresses a poignant desire for the girlfriend to “turn straight,” revealing the singer’s discontent with their relationship. It’s unclear whether the singer is genuinely attracted to women or if he’s simply trying to fit into his girlfriend’s lifestyle. Regardless, the song’s upbeat sound and playful lyrics create a fun and memorable listening experience.
Line by Line Meaning
My girlfriend is a lesbian
She identifies as sexually attracted to women
Not even bi-sexual
She is not attracted to both men and women
Am I just a thespian
Am I only acting and pretending to be someone I'm not?
Acting out Romeo?
Playing the part of Romeo in a romantic tragedy where things do not end well
We cruise chicks together
We go out and actively look for women to be with
We dress in real fake leather
We wear clothing that looks like leather, but is not
But sometimes the weather,
However, occasionally, the temperature
It gets too hot...
Becomes uncomfortably warm
We can kiss like mothers
We can express affection with a kiss like one shared by a child and their mother
We can sleep like brothers
We can share a bed and sleep like siblings
We can walk like lovers,
We can display a level of intimacy and closeness often associated with couples
But that's as far as it goes
However, our relationship does not extend beyond these actions
And so I do not hesitate
I am not afraid or unwilling
To hope one day that she turns straight
To desire that she becomes attracted to men
And if that day never comes,
If this desire never becomes a reality
Then make me a lesbian
Then let me also be attracted to women
