Karate
Porsches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl, you're looking pretty, can I turn off the light?
You gotta know your friends, are you drinking tonight
Are you drinking tonight? Are you drinking tonight?
I just wanna know are you leaving with me?
Heading to a party I've been invited to see
‘Cause you're dancing with nobody girl,
Move your body girl
Chocolate in my ice cream, can't live without it
Kicking with my tie sheet, can't live without it
I bet you know karate, your friends are very at it
I bet you know karate, I bet you know karate
I bet you know karate, I bet you know karate
I just wanna know where you're sleeping tonight
Girl, you're looking pretty, can I turn off the light?
You gotta know your friends, are you drinking tonight
Are you drinking tonight? Are you drinking tonight?
I just wanna know are you leaving with me?
Heading to a party I've been invited to see
‘Cause you're dancing with nobody girl,
Move your body girl
Drinking tonight, are you drinking tonight?
Kissing in the backseat, can't live without it
Chocolate in my ice cream, can't live without it
Kicking with my tie sheet, can't live without it
I bet you know karate, your friends are very at it
I bet you know karate, I bet you know karate
I bet you know karate, I bet you know karate
In "Karate," Porsche sings of his interest in a woman and his desire to know more about her. He repeatedly asks if she will be drinking that night and if she will be leaving with him, indicating his intention to possibly bring her to a party. Throughout the song, he notes her beauty and the way she moves on the dance floor, suggesting that he is drawn to her physically. The line "I bet you know karate" could be interpreted in a couple of ways. It could be a nod to her confidence and strength, or it could be interpreted as a sexually suggestive comment, implying that she is skilled in the art of lovemaking. The repetition of this line emphasizes Porsche's fascination with the woman and his desire to know more about her.
One theme that emerges from "Karate" is the idea of pursuing pleasure and embracing sensuality. Porsche's references to kissing, chocolate, and the physicality of sex all reinforce this theme. He sees this woman as an opportunity to indulge in these pleasures and experience new levels of pleasure. However, there is also a sense of uncertainty and transience in the song - Porsche is asking where she will be sleeping that night, suggesting that their time together may be fleeting.
Overall, "Karate" is a song that explores desire and attraction, highlighting the physical and sensual aspects of a potential encounter between two people. While it may not have a deep meaning or message, it captures a moment of attraction and exploration that many people can relate to.
