Who Wears the Pants??
Soko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think it would ease your pain?
Who put this idea in your head
That you're gonna rot in hell?
Now, who wears the pants?
And who is gonna water the plants?
Who is the woman? Who's the man?
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
Oh you're lost baby, yeah you're lost
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
And you won't be able to come back
You think that two boys is a sin
And two girls is somehow sexy
But in the eyes of god, no matter what
It's "a disgrace!"
(That's what they say)
So now, who wears the pants?
And how does it all make sense?
Can it be love and don't you miss another man
Well, you don't even seem to care!
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
Oh you're lost baby, yeah you're lost
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
And you won't be able to come back
(Insanity) insanity
(Insanity) insanity
(Insanity) insanity
(Insanity) insanity
Now, who wears the pants?
And who is gonna water the plants?
Who is the woman, who's the man?
Well, you just gotta live to tell
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
Oh you're lost baby, yeah you're lost
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
And you won't be able to come back
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
Oh you're lost baby, yeah you're lost
You burned all the bridges in the neon light
And you won't be able to come back
Oh you don't even need to come back
In "Who Wears The Pants??" SoKo challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations. The song opens with a provocative question: "Have you ever thought of being a man?," implying that being a man would be an easy way to escape pain. The lyrics suggest that society has created a distorted and narrow view of gender roles, and that individuals feel pressure to conform to these norms or face being ostracized. SoKo asks "Who put this idea in your head that you're gonna rot in hell?" insinuating that this idea is damaging and limiting.
The chorus poses the question "Who wears the pants?" challenging traditional gender roles and asking what it means to be a man or a woman. SoKo also pokes fun at the expectation of gender roles asking "Who's gonna water the plants?", a traditional stereotype of women's housework. She then questions the idea of gender roles altogether, asking "Can it be love and don't you miss another man?" challenging any negative perceptions around LGBTQ relationships.
The bridge of the song repeats the word "insanity" as a commentary on the idea that society's view of gender roles is damaging and oppressive. The song concludes with the repeated phrase "You burned all the bridges in the neon light, and you won't be able to come back" suggesting that breaking free from these societal norms can have consequences but is ultimately liberating.
