Trash
Play Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at those shoes
They've seen a lot of mileage on the dance floor
And your hair is bad news, yeah
What happened with those highlights
They're so low life
There's really no excuse, no
You're on the second day of all night parties
You wanna stay up and never come down
You wanna sneak in cause they're throwing you out

You're trash, trash
Baby that's a fact but I like you even more 'cause of that
Girl you know you're trash, trash
Scratchin' through your backpack
Acting like you're flat out of cash
Give it up you're trash
You're officially trash

Look at those eyes
You're sleeping in the same old pair of lashes
Do you really think that's wise, no
You borrowed someone's car and then you crashed it
Enough is enough, get off of my couch
I'm sick of your stuff takin' over my house

You're trash, trash
Baby that's a fact but I like you even more 'cause of that
Girl you know you're trash, trash
Scratchin' through your backpack
Acting like you're flat out of cash
Give it up you're trash
You're officially trash

First you slit your skirt up ten inches
Show some skin right up to the fringes
Then you pluck your brows like a ninja
You gotta get a grip, you better listen to me
Bitch, you're trash
You're trash

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Trash, trash (trash ....)
Baby that's a fact but I like you even more 'cause of that
You're such a piece of trash, trash
Scratchin' through your backpack (yeah-yeah)
Acting like you're flat out of cash
Give it up you're trash (yeah)




You're officially trash (ohhh)
So deliciously trash

Overall Meaning

The song "Trash" by Play is about a person who is living a carefree party lifestyle and doesn't care about their appearance. The lyrics describe this person's disheveled appearance, exhausted eyes, and reckless behavior. The chorus of the song repeats the word "trash" to emphasize the singer's opinion of this person, but also acknowledges that they find them appealing in a way despite their lack of care.


The first verse focuses on the appearance of the person the singer is addressing. The shoes they wear have been worn out on the dance floor, and their hair looks messy and unkempt. The highlights in their hair are now lowlights and don't look good either. The person is in the midst of partying hard, and they want to stay up all night without end. However, their behavior has resulted in them getting thrown out of the party, leading to their desperation to sneak back in.


In the second verse, the singer addresses the person's behavior and habits, revealing that they sleep in the same pair of lashes and borrow cars only to crash them. The singer is tired of the person's belongings taking over their house and wants them to leave. The last part of the song is a bridge that adds a new element to the lyrics. The singer is critiquing the person's physical appearance, telling them how to improve their appearance by showing more skin, plucking their eyebrows, and getting their act together, calling them a "b*tch."

I usually play with jacks as end turns, queens as a draw card, and kings wild. Much more fun that way.
