Crack Whore
Sickcity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's no surprise
And the beat is the sweetest melody to exist
Unless, unless, unless, unless
Unless your body's tipping whilst you watch your feet
And you enjoy your tripping even though your ankles bleed
You might as well go take a break and get your self a drink but say
A beat is a beat is a beat is a beat
That's no surprise
And the beat is the sweetest melody to exist
Unless, unless, unless, unless
Unless you had so much and lose motorical skills
And can't remember, dammit, whether or not you took those pills
Why don't you take a break and go get your self a drink but say
Now would you mind and give this guy your number anyway?
Hey George I talked to her and she is on her way
You better draw some cash, cause she might make you pay
Watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
Watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
Watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
Watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
A beat is a beat is a beat is a beat
For the third time, time, time, time
And a beat is the sweetest melody to exist
Unless, unless, unless, unless
Unless you find yourself surrounded by white elephants
And feed them tiny pieces that you coughed up while you danced
You might as well go take a break and get yourself a drink but say
Would you mind and give this guy your number anyway?
Hey George I asked again, this time I'm sure she'll come
But George, if I was you, I'd take my stuff and run
Better watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
Watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
Watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
Watch your back George
And watch the back door
Or she'll take all your money
Cause she is a crack whore
The lyrics of Sickcity's song Crack Whore paint a vivid picture of a wild and chaotic night where the singer, George, encounters an unpredictable and dangerous woman described as a crack whore. The constant repetition of "A beat is a beat is a beat is a beat" emphasizes the hypnotic power of music, which can both enhance and distort our experiences. The lyrics suggest that drug use has led to physical and emotional disorientation, as evidenced by stumbling feet, bleeding ankles, and impaired motor skills. Despite these warning signs, the singer seems reluctant to abandon the party completely, still trying to pursue a woman even as his friend warns him to take precautions.
The repeated admonition to "watch your back George" and "watch the back door" underscores the sense of danger lurking in this scene. This woman is described as a "crack whore," a term that connotes a desperate and vulnerable person caught in cycles of addiction and exploitation. The suggestion that she will "take all your money" highlights the potential hazards of partying with strangers and pursuing risky behavior. The use of third-person pronouns in the chorus ("she" instead of "you") creates a distance between the singer and the woman, suggesting that he may be projecting his own fears and insecurities on her.
Overall, the lyrics of Crack Whore dramatize the allure and perils of hedonism, drugs, and reckless abandon. The song raises questions about the relationship between music, drugs, and identity, as well as highlighting the dark side of party culture and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
Line by Line Meaning
A beat is a beat is a beat is a beat
All beats sound the same
That's no surprise
This is common knowledge
And the beat is the sweetest melody to exist
The sound of the beat is the best sound ever
Unless, unless, unless, unless
Except when...
Unless your body's tipping whilst you watch your feet
Except when you're stumbling around
And you enjoy your tripping even though your ankles bleed
And you find your injuries enjoyable
You might as well go take a break and get your self a drink but say
You should rest but still ask for someone's number
Now would you mind and give this guy your number anyway?
Can I get your phone number?
Unless you had so much and lose motorical skills
Except when you're too drunk to control your movements
And can't remember, dammit, whether or not you took those pills
And you're unable to recall whether you've taken your medication
Why don't you take a break and go get your self a drink but say
Take a break and have a drink but still ask for someone's number
Hey George I talked to her and she is on her way
I spoke to the person and they're coming over
You better draw some cash, cause she might make you pay
Be prepared to pay the person
Watch your back George
Be cautious, George
And watch the back door
Pay attention to the exit
Or she'll take all your money
She'll steal your money
Cause she is a crack whore
Because she is addicted to crack
For the third time, time, time, time
Once again, all beats sound the same
Unless you find yourself surrounded by white elephants
Except when you're in a surreal situation
And feed them tiny pieces that you coughed up while you danced
And you're giving them bits of food you regurgitated while dancing
Would you mind and give this guy your number anyway?
Can I get your phone number?
Hey George I asked again, this time I'm sure she'll come
I asked again and I'm confident the person will come over
But George, if I was you, I'd take my stuff and run
You should leave and take your things with you
