Cake
Race Horses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Word is out the girls are getting free
I look at her, she looks at me
You do the math
It's five o'clock, my shoes shine on the pavingside
I'm off to meet a girl who smells so sweet
Sea and sand to us are bland
She wanted cake
(Cake, cake, she wanted cake)
She wanted cake
(Cake, cake, she wanted cake)
She was the one who first turned me on to it
Jello's all the rage in West Bolivia
(Boliiiiivia)
[?]'s so cool in South Dubai
(Bai, bai bai)
But we like baking all night long
We share our love with everyone
I've been with other girls from round the countryside
She's been with other men, or so it seems
But holding hands to us are bland
We much prefer to open wide
She wanted cake
(Cake, cake, she wanted cake)
We wanted cake
(Cake, cake, she wanted cake)
She was the one who first turned me on to it
She wanted cake
(Cake, cake, she wanted cake)
She wanted cake
(Cake, cake, she wanted cake)
She was the one who first turned me on
You've gotta talk with your whisk
If you wanna get a kiss
You knead my dough
So let's bake it really slow
Get on it
The opening lines of the song, "Cruising down to town upon my citadel, Word is out the girls are getting free," speak to a sense of freedom and exploration. The singer is on his way to meet a girl, and it's clear that their relationship is built on a shared sense of adventure and excitement. The interplay between the two characters is emphasized by the line, "I look at her, she looks at me, You do the math." It's as if they're communicating a subtle shared understanding of what's going on between them.
As the song continues, we start to get the sense that the relationship is built on something specific – a shared love of cake. This is emphasized in the catchy chorus, which repeats the phrase "She wanted cake" several times. The bridge of the song takes us on a journey through different places, imagining what kind of culinary trends might be popular there. But ultimately, the focus is on the couple and their shared passion for baking.
The final lines of the song create a sense of intimacy and playfulness between the two characters. The singer asks his partner to "talk with your whisk" and promises to "knead [her] dough." The suggestion is that the two of them are in it together and that everything they do is enhanced by their shared enthusiasm for baking.
