As I See It

(Ah-ai-ah, ah-ai-ah)
(Ji-dan-da-ji-dari, sun-sun-to-pu-pa)
(Ah-ai-ah, ah-ai-ah)
Whaaa!
"Hey! That's pretty good!"
"Wha-! No one asked you!"

I've got myself just a little bit of love that I wanna spend on you
But baby, I'll never get that chance to dance that romance with you
Oh, no, 'cause you're always hittin'
And kickin'
And putting me down

I hope you don't mean what you say
But I keep seeing you stickin' around
Like you can't get enough
So I stay and I wonder
How my hand would feel intertwined with yours?
As of now though
"What are you doing?"
Nothing but closed doors

My girl's a Dere
A Tsun-TsunDere
Just saying "hi" gets me a punch in the face
And if I should compliment her, she starts to chase

"Hey! That was a direct attack!"
Oh, no! The wild cat found my hiding place!
"Stupid octopus! Take it back!"

"So, uh, how am I an octopus?"
"How am I a cat!?"
"Well-uh, cats are cute!"
"Go away!"

Can we get along? You're so headstrong
There's no way, go away, now so long!
Just talk to me and you will see
That's not fair, using flair you dummy!

I've got myself just a little bit of love that I wanna spend on not you
'Cause baby, I'm afraid you'll say, that it's not okay with you
Oh-oh, 'cause you're always laughin'
And jokin'
You look like a clown
But I hope you mean what you say
"I do"
And I wonder what you would think
If I let my pride down, let it sink
Could we hold hands, kiss?
Live our lives in gentle bliss?
"We could"
"Ah! I'm not talking about you!"
You're not my prince in this

I'm not a Dere
A Tsun-TsunDere
I have a jello heart, I'm not that mean!
I'm not blushing, I was just rushing and forgot the sunscreen!

"Your smile is really cute though"
You'll never see it from underneath my pigtails!
"Alright I just wanted to let you know"

"Uh-um hey"
"Yeah? Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah, um, well, hehehe"

Hey, hey are you free free today?
Oh ho ho, why do you want to know?
It's not like I like you, okay?!
Alright cool, where do you want to go?

We could rent a boat and sail, find a bunny and feed it some juicy kale
"No that sounds really stupid"
Okay, well, how about a
Classy dinner by candlelight
Or scary stories till midnight
So then I could hold you tight
"And get Cheeto crumbs on me?! No way!"
Ba da ba da ba!

Okay, I think you're a little dense
I really do not like all of this talk you have in the present tense
Ba ba da ba da!
So listen here buddy
It's all just a big fantasy you see inside of your head! No!
So just say goodbye!

"Ugh eh-whatever"
Ba ba da ba da!

I'm not a Dere
A Tsun-TsunDere
"My girls a Dere a Tsun-TsunDere"
Hey! I can kick your butt even in this dress!
Ugh! I digress! So let's just go to the park I guess

"Pff, you wouldn't even know what to bring"
Oh, come on, will you please just say yes!





"Geez fine, Baka Tako! It's not like I'll enjoy it or anything"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of As I See It by Static-P are a conversation between two individuals, one of whom has feelings for the other. The first person expresses their desire to spend some love on the second person and share some romantic moments with them. However, the other person constantly puts them down and reacts aggressively to any attempts of affection or compliments. Nevertheless, the first person keeps hope and wonders what it would be like to hold hands or kiss the second person. The conversation eventually ends on a positive note with both individuals making plans to meet up at the park.


The song is a commentary on the complexities of human relationships, especially romantic ones. It portrays how easily misunderstandings, miscommunication, and differing personalities can complicate something that should be simple like expressing love. Moreso, the conversation in the lyrics is an illustration of the 'tsundere' archetype in anime, where a character has both tsuntsun (aloof and sometimes hostile) and deredere (lovestruck and affectionate) qualities.
