NO WAY
Plasticines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back in the city
He's still crying
All along the streets
In the city

He wants to get me
Oh he wants to get me
Stop rubbing my hand
I don't need a slave

Stop calling me baby
I just want to say :
Now way, no way
I've got nothing to say, nothing to say
No way
No way !

Back in the city
He's still trying
All along the streets
In the city

He wants to get me
Oh he wants to get me
Stop rubbing my hand
I don't need a slave

Stop calling me baby
I just want to say :
Now way, no way
I've got nothing to say, nothing to say
No way
No way !
Now way, no way
I've got nothing to say, nothing to say
No way
No way !





No waaay

Overall Meaning

The Plasticines' song "No Way" seems to be about a woman who is being pursued by a man and is trying to reject him. The lyrics describe the man's persistence as he follows her along the streets of the city and tries to possess her as his slave by rubbing her hand. The woman is clearly not interested in him, and she tells him to stop calling her baby and leave her alone by constantly repeating the phrase "no way" throughout the song.


The lyrics suggest that the woman is tired of being objectified and pursued by men, and she wants to assert her independence and autonomy. She does not want to be someone's slave or property, and she demands respect and freedom. The repetition of the phrase "no way" reinforces her refusal to submit to the man's advances and her determination to assert her boundaries.


The song's catchy melody and energetic rhythm match the rebellious and assertive tone of the lyrics, as the Plasticines deliver a powerful message of self-respect and empowerment. The song seems to be a feminist anthem that encourages women to reject any form of objectification or oppression and to stand up for their rights and dignity.
