Distraction
Sexy Sushi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mais comment il fait pour avoir des bras comme ca?
Mais comment il fait pour avoir des cuisses comme ca?
Il est costaud, voilà tout, et puis le reste, on s'en fout
Il est costaud, voilà tout, et puis le reste, on s'en fout

C'est une distraction
Il aime porter des poids
C'est un beau garçon

Il est surement suédois

(Mais comment il fait?)

C'est une distraction
Il aime porter des poids
C'est un beau garçon
Il est surement suédois

Mais comment il fait?
Mais comment il fait?
Mais comment il fait?
Mais comment il fait pour avoir des bras comme ca?
Mais comment il fait pour avoir des fesses comme ca?
Mais comment il fait pour avoir des bras comme ca?

C'est une distraction

Il est surement suédois

C'est une distraction

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Distraction" by Sexy Sushi revolve around the subject of an attractive, muscular man that stands out from the crowd. Specifically, the lyrics question how this man achieved his impressive physique, remarking on his strong arms and thighs, and referencing his potentially Swedish origin. Despite this focus, the lyrics also emphasize that this man's appearance is ultimately just a distraction, and that his attributes are ultimately unimportant in the grand scheme of things. The repetition of the "Mais comment il fait?" (But how does he do it?) question adds an air of mystery to the subject, heightening the intrigue and fascination of the man in question.

In a wider sense, the song could be viewed as an exploration of societal obsessions with physical appearance and the human body. In many ways, physical fitness and aesthetic beauty are seen as markers of success in contemporary culture, and the song seems to poke fun at those who place too much emphasis on these traits. By contrasting the man's impressive physical attributes with the lyrics' underlying message that looks aren't everything, Sexy Sushi offers a critique of our current societal priorities.
