Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you one day want to be mine
And give me satisfaction twice a day
Three, four, more, five
You better, better have a body
Which makes me sure I'm not gay
You gotta give me all,
Knock every day at my door
If you want me you gotta please
If you want me you gotta put it up to
If you want to adore me
Again and again when feel alright
Outflow
You gotta be hot, yeah!
Something that you're not
And be begging under my wind twice a day
Three, four, more, five
You better, better have a body
Which makes me sure I'm not gay
You gotta give me all,
Love me more
Stop!
If you want me you gotta please
If you want me you gotta put it up to
If you want to adore me
Again and again when feel alright
Outflow
The Outflow
Outflow
Is it to much to ask?
If you want me you gotta please
If you want me you gotta put it up to
If you want to adore me
Again and again when feel alright
Outflow
The lyrics to Rasmus's song Outflow express a very narrow-minded and objectifying perspective towards relationships and sexuality. The singer of the song sets a number of unrealistic and superficial expectations for their partner, focusing solely on physical appearance and sexual performance. They imply that providing sexual satisfaction is the only way to please them, and that they are entitled to such treatment. The repetition of the phrase "twice a day, three, four, more, five" further emphasizes their fixation on a certain level of sexual intimacy. They also suggest that having a certain type of body is what distinguishes someone as "hot" or desirable, and that anything outside of that standard is not acceptable.
The lyrics come across as very sexist and offensive, as they reduce a person's worth to their physical attributes and ability to fulfill sexual desires. It sends a harmful message that one's worthiness in a relationship depends solely on their ability to satisfy their partner, rather than on mutual respect and understanding. At the same time, the repetitive chorus highlights the absurdity of these expectations and how disconnected they are from genuine connection and intimacy.
Overall, the lyrics to Outflow are disturbing in their focus on objectifying and dehumanizing others. They perpetuate an unhealthy attitude towards sexuality and relationships, rooted in selfishness and superficiality.
