Drama
Shoobies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But your heart will tell you where you belong
Sick of summer, won't the world stop spinning?
While the pretty girls are singing along
But you're alone now honey,
Why you joking like you're killing yourself?
A little lady who won't spend my money
On her vices or material wealth
Why you talking like you're bad?
The metaphysical embodiment of making you sad
You cry...
You cry...
Hey hey hey!
You look like hell
But girl I couldn't take it
You claim you're lonely
But you only think about me when you're naked
And all do you is cum...plain
About your current situation
With your Novocain tongue talkin' all too fast
And I bet you heard that I'm... insane
But that's a risk you'll have to take
Unless you want to end up deeper than your last
Let's suppose you're acting mental
And then we coincidentally arrive at the same...
All alone you look disheveled
Decaying leaves you so resembled,
It's a riot, but it's a shame
Cause you're a good girl
Why you talking like you're bad?
So neurotic and erotic
Girl it's making you sad
You try...
You try...
Hey hey hey!
To look like hell
But girl I couldn't taste it
You never meant to
But you tend to think about me when you're wasted
A cigarette will scar your pretty face...
Second to none
A silhouette above a cityscape;
She was the sun
Them counter culture kids you're hanging around,
Will get you to try
Overdramatic baby, all of the time
Ethereal beauty, I am corruption...
In the song "Drama" by Shoobies, the lyrics could be interpreted as a conversation between two people who were once in a relationship. The first verse spoke of the girl being out of place in New York City, and feeling lonely even though she's surrounded by people. The chorus continued with the idea that she was a "good girl" who was talking like a "bad girl," and that she was crying but trying to look tough. The second verse seemed to be from the perspective of the guy who is hearing her complaints, and is frustrated by her constant negativity. He suggests that they can be together, but she needs to accept that he might be crazy. The final verse brings up the idea that the girl is being influenced by a group of people, possibly related to the "counter culture kids" mentioned, and that they are leading her down a bad path.
Overall, the song could be seen as a warning to young people about the dangers of getting caught up in a group mentality, and losing sight of your own values and personality. It could also be interpreted as a critique of modern culture, where people feel like they need to project a certain image in order to be accepted, even if it is not authentic to who they really are.
Line by Line Meaning
Well I can tell you're not from New York City
I can easily deduce that you are not from New York City
But your heart will tell you where you belong
Your intuition will lead you to find where you belong
Sick of summer, won't the world stop spinning?
You're tired of summer and wish the world would stop revolving
While the pretty girls are singing along
The attractive girls are singing along
But you're alone now honey,
You are currently alone
Why you joking like you're killing yourself?
Why are you making jokes about committing suicide?
A little lady who won't spend my money
A woman who won't use my money on her vices or material goods
On her vices or material wealth
On her addictions and material possessions
Cause you're a good girl
You are a well-behaved woman
Why you talking like you're bad?
Why are you using a negative tone despite being good?
The metaphysical embodiment of making you sad
The theoretical essence that brings you sorrow
You cry...
You weep...
You cry...
You weep...
Hey hey hey!
A vocalization of excitement
You look like hell
You appear incredibly disheveled
But girl I couldn't take it
Despite this, I cannot resist you
You claim you're lonely
You state that you are alone
But you only think about me when you're naked
However, you only think about me while you are undressed
And all do you is cum...plain
You only ever talk about your issues
About your current situation
Regarding your current state
With your Novocain tongue talkin' all too fast
With your tongue numb from anesthesia, speaking too quickly
And I bet you heard that I'm... insane
I'm sure you heard the rumors that I'm mentally unstable
But that's a risk you'll have to take
However, that risk is yours to take
Unless you want to end up deeper than your last
Unless you want to suffer more than your previous experiences
Let's suppose you're acting mental
Let's assume you're behaving erratically
And then we coincidentally arrive at the same...
And by an unplanned stroke of luck, we meet at the same place
All alone you look disheveled
You appear unkempt while being by yourself
Decaying leaves you so resembled,
You resemble decomposing leaves
It's a riot, but it's a shame
It's entertaining, but also regrettable
Cause you're a good girl
You are a well-behaved woman
So neurotic and erotic
So both anxious and sexually provocative
Girl it's making you sad
It's causing you to feel unhappy
You try...
You attempt...
You try...
You attempt...
Hey hey hey!
A vocalization of excitement
To look like hell
To try to look incredibly disheveled
But girl I couldn't taste it
However, I couldn't bear to experience it
You never meant to
You didn't intend to
But you tend to think about me when you're wasted
But it seems that you often think of me while inebriated
A cigarette will scar your pretty face...
Smoking will damage your attractive face...
Second to none
Unparalleled
A silhouette above a cityscape;
A shadowy figure against a city's skyline;
She was the sun
She was the center of attention
Them counter culture kids you're hanging around,
The anti-establishment youths that you are spending time with,
Will get you to try
Will convince you to experiment
Overdramatic baby, all of the time
Excessively dramatic, constantly
Ethereal beauty, I am corruption...
A delicate and otherworldly beauty, I am decay and moral decay...
