Paint Your Face
Sliimy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In fact I know your whole life
Because you act like a no life, your past friend is your Mac
My friends know your past and they know your ex girlfriends
But just stop and sign out it’s an emergency ‘
You think you’re a stranger but my friends know, so I know
And what I know is that I know
So you think you’re a stranger but my friend know so I know and what I know is that I know but you don’t know
I search a new place with some of my friends
And I see you there! Do you really want to stay here?
You look so afraid, you look so mad now
You must paint your face cause’ you show your… on MySpace
I’m tired of guys like you, you’re just a waste of time
Go and talk with another bastard you’re not friend of mine
We know all your habits, we know where you’ve been
You’re a virtual model
It’s an emergency
You think you’re a stranger but my friends know, so I know
And what I know is that I know
So you think you’re a stranger but my friend know so I know and what I know is that I know but you don’t know
I search a new place with some of my friends
And I see you there! Do you really want to stay here?
You look so afraid, you look so mad now
You must paint your face cause’ you show your… on MySpace
You must paint your face (x3)
You must, you must, you must paint your face
You must paint your face (x2)
You must, you must, you must paint your face
You must paint your face (x2)
You must, you must, you must paint your face
You must paint your face (x2)
You must, you must, you must paint your face
You must paint your face (x2)
You must, you must, you must paint your face
I search a new place with some of my friends
And I see you there! Do you really want to stay here?
You look so afraid, you look so mad now
You must paint your face cause’ you show your… on MySpace
I search a new place with some of my friends
And I see you there! Do you really want to stay here?
You look so afraid, you look so mad now
You must paint your face cause’ you show your… on MySpace
The lyrics of Sliimy's song "Paint Your Face" seem to be about someone who is being called out for their online behavior. The singer suggests that this person is spending too much time on their computer, and that they are not living a real life. The singer's friends know everything about this person, including their past and who they've dated, and the singer is aware of what is going on as well.
The chorus of the song starts with "You think you're a stranger but my friends know, so I know." It seems like the person being called out is trying to be anonymous online, but the singer and their friends know who they really are. The song suggests that this person needs to "paint their face" because they are showing too much of themselves online, and they need to conceal their identity.
The second verse of the song seems to be about the singer seeing this person in real life, and suggesting that they should get off the computer and live a real life instead. The singer seems frustrated with this person, saying that they are not worth their time and that they are a waste.
Overall, the song seems to be about the dangers of living too much of your life online, and not enough in the real world. The singer is calling out this person for not being authentic and for trying to hide their true identity.
