CARBON
Son Little Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chemistry, won't let me wait.
Hit you with, this inverterbrate.
Raise your full, glasses celebrate.
I'll have a laugh no matter what you say.

Too gone, carbon.
Each one has its weight, only.
My love is born, on the telephone
Used to drive you home, put the parking brake on.
We used to get it on, mom and dad was never home.
I'll sing the song, momma won't you sing along?

All night long, carbon.
Each one has its weight,
Only Mister Theodore, Lord of Astor.
Hey, you holding court
since the day you're born.
Well we might be richer,
but if your soul is poor,
get every wish and still you want more.





Oh my God, carbon.
Each one has its weight, only. Only

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Son Little's song "Carbon" are a combination of compelling imagery and mysterious allusions. The song opens with the line "Chemistry won't let me wait," which seems to imply that the singer is impatient and has some urgent desire that must be fulfilled. He then sings about hitting someone with an invertebrate, although it's not clear if this is meant to be taken literally or metaphorically. The next lines, "Raise your full glasses celebrate, I'll have a laugh no matter what you say," suggest that whatever it is that the singer is waiting for, he intends to enjoy himself in the meantime.


The chorus of the song is "Too gone, carbon. Each one has its weight, only." This line is somewhat enigmatic, with multiple possible meanings. "Carbon" is a reference to the element, which has a specific atomic weight. This could be taken to mean that everything in life has its own specific weight, including emotions, actions, and consequences. It could also suggest that each person has their own unique burden to bear, which makes them who they are. The line "too gone" is harder to decipher, but it could be interpreted as a lament for something that has been lost or an expression of frustration with the way things are.


The second verse of the song is more personal, with the singer talking about his love life. He talks about how he used to drive his lover home and get intimate with her when her parents were away. He says he will sing a song and asks his mother to join in. The verse adds a touch of vulnerability to the song, as the singer reveals that he is looking for connection and companionship.
