Rude Buddha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something's telling me this ain't right ask my girl cause i've been wondering where is it that you've been hiding, i think i found out the hard way, you looked into my eyes and lied right to my face, actions speak louder than the words that you spit, constantly you're lying now while inside i am dying

chorus
something's come up, yeah, it's that same ole' situation, you're pushing me around, and it's you i end up missing, i love you so much, but you create this aggravation, you're pushing me around and it's you i end up missing you're all hung up again, not getting played again, this is the last time it'll happen

does he even know that you took me to your bedroom, and fucked me too, yeah, this is fucking crazy, you're hiding that fact to protect your own feelings, i felt born the day you met me, i felt lost the day you left me, but i'll be fine again, in good time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rude Buddha's song S.O.S. depict a troubled relationship where the singer is suspicious of their partner's actions and has been lied to repeatedly. The first verse sees the singer admitting that something doesn't feel right and they have reason to suspect their partner is hiding something. They confront their partner and find out that they have been lying directly to their face. The chorus details the frustration felt by the singer due to the constant turmoil in the relationship, with their partner pushing them around and creating aggravation. Despite how much they love their partner, the singer realizes that they can't continue to let this happen or they'll end up missing out on being treated properly, hinting at a possible breakup.

The second verse takes a personal turn as the singer addresses their partner's history with someone else, questioning whether their partner's current partner knows that the singer and the partner had sex in the past. It's evident that the singer is fed up with their partner's secretive behavior, and they can't deal with it any longer. The last part of the chorus reiterates the idea that the relationship isn't working and that the singer will no longer play these games. The song ends on a bitter note with the singer accepting that they'll keep to themselves and move on from the dysfunctional relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

chorus
Something has come up, and it's the same old issue that keeps happening, you keep pushing me around and I end up missing you even though you are the cause of my frustration. Even though I love you, I'm tired of the aggravation and being pushed around. This is the last time it will happen.

does he even know that you took me to your bedroom, and fucked me too, yeah, this is fucking crazy, you're hiding that fact to protect your own feelings, i felt born the day you met me, i felt lost the day you left me, but i'll be fine again, in good time
Does your boyfriend even know that you brought me to your bedroom and slept with me? This whole situation is insane, and you're hiding your actions to protect yourself. I felt reborn the day I met you, but when you left, I felt lost. However, with time, I will be okay again.

i'm sick of this, i knew you wouldn't show so damn you, now i'm pissed, i knew you wouldn't show so damn you, i don't wanna play these games we're playing no more, guess i'll keep to myself, i guess i'll keep to myself, yeah
I'm tired of this, I knew you wouldn't show up and now I'm angry with you. I don't want to play these games anymore and I will keep to myself from now on.
