I Am The Dub
S Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been on the road
I've been on vacation
I've been traveling light
To reach my final destination

Now I'm coming home

So tell the girls that I am back in town
You'd better tell them to beware
Where they may go or they might try to hide
I follow on and I'll be there

So tell the girls that I am back in town
And if it's true I do not know
That every girl around had missed me since
I decided to go

I could be your friend
I could be your stranger
I could be the one your mother said would be your danger
Now it's up to you

So tell the girls that I am back in town
You'd better tell them to beware
Where they may go or they might try to hide
I follow on and I'll be there

So tell the girls that I am back in town
And if it's true I do not know
That every girl around had missed me since
I decided to go

Now I'm coming home

So tell the girls that I am back in town
You'd better tell them to beware
Where they may go or they might try to hide
I follow on and I'll be there

So tell the girls that I am back in town
And if it's true I do not know




That every girl around had missed me since
I decided to go

Overall Meaning

The song "I Am The Dub" by S Jay is about a man who has been traveling, possibly for work or personal reasons, and is now returning home. The lyrics suggest that he has some kind of romantic history with the women in the town, as he instructs someone to warn them of his return. He seems to relish the idea of being a bit of a danger or a mystery to them, as he describes himself variously as a friend, a stranger, and a potential danger. The lyrics are somewhat ambiguous, but they paint a picture of a man who is confident and perhaps a bit arrogant, returning to a town where he holds some sway over the women there.


The repeated lines "So tell the girls that I am back in town / You'd better tell them to beware" give the impression that the man enjoys the power and attention that comes with his return, even if not all of it is positive. He wants the women to know that he is back and that they will not be able to avoid him if they try. The lyrics suggest that the man is aware of his own appeal and is not afraid to use it to his advantage.


Overall, "I Am The Dub" is a catchy and rhythmic song with a somewhat ambiguous message. It could be interpreted as a celebration of the power and allure of a confident, self-assured man, or as a cautionary tale about the dangers of putting too much trust in someone who is more interested in their own image than in the people around them.
