Pousa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The edge of the yard
I found you, you know
All brown and hard
I can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
I can't get your body out of my mind
She goes smooth through my body, yeah
Through my body she goes smooth
She goes smooth through my body, yeah
Through my body she goes smooth
Little killer froggy, where did you hop?
Under the entertainment center
Realize you just couldn't stop
Worms found a hole in your booty they could enter and
I can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
I can't get your body out of my mind
Can't get your body
You goes smooth through my body, yeah
Through my body you goes smooth
YOu goes smooth through my body, yeah
Through my body you goes smooth
Hey little lizard, where did you slink?
Left your cage door open
Under the basement sink
The drippin' water made your moulded body eyes open and
I can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
I can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
Can't get your body out of my mind
Can't get your body
Can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
Can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
Can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
The lyrics to Pousa's song "Body" are an ode to the strange and unexpected ways in which we are confronted with death. Each verse describes a small creature, whether it be a manhood, frog, or lizard, and the unique circumstance in which their body is discovered. The lyricist is almost fascinated or captivated by the remnants of these creatures, and can't seem to shake their presence from their mind. The verse "Little killer froggy, where did you hop? Under the entertainment center, realize you just couldn't stop. Worms found a hole in your booty they could enter" is a clear example of this fascination with death. The lyricist seems to marvel at the strange and specific way in which the frog met its end.
The chorus, " I can't get your body out of my mind, Can't get your body", is repeated throughout the song and serves to emphasize the obsession with these dead creatures. It's almost as if the lyricist is haunted by their presence and cannot escape the thoughts of their demise.
Overall, the song "Body" is an eerie exploration of death and the strange ways in which it manifests. The use of small creatures serves to emphasize the fragility of life, and the fascination with death that pervades the lyrics is both unsettling and intriguing.
