Little Lover
Sebastian Bach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rollin' down the avenue
I got my fist in the air
Checkin' out of the rat race
& I really don't care

I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
I'm just havin' a good time
Just havin' a good time

Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise

Livin' in the stratosphere
Ain't always cloud nine
I don't even know if
It's what I was hopin' to find

I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
Gettin' out of my mind,
I'm gettin' out of my mind

Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise

Tryin' hard to push me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back
I'll leave it all behind

Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise

Tryin' hard to fuck me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back




I'll leave it all
I'll leave it all behind

Overall Meaning

Sebastian Bach's song, Little Lover, is a rock and roll anthem about living life to the fullest with a rebellious, devil-may-care attitude. The lyrics describe the singer rolling down the avenue with their fist in the air, escaping the rat race and not caring about anything except having a good time. This carefree attitude is mirrored in the lyrics "Don't ask what the truth is, and I won't tell you no lies," which suggest that the singer values spontaneity and living in the moment over introspection or self-reflection.


The chorus of the song is centered around the idea that love can be a "BitchSlap," or a harsh wake-up call disguised as something soft and delicate, like a bleeding heart. The singer acknowledges that living in the stratosphere is not always like "cloud nine," suggesting that the highs of life can come with lows and uncertainties.


The second verse touches on the idea that the singer is trying hard to avoid being pushed over the edge, but still feel the weight of the world on their back. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is ready to leave everything behind and pursue their own path, whatever it may be. Overall, Little Lover is a song that celebrates the pleasures of living in the moment, but also acknowledges the harsh realities of life and love.
