Gonna Stay Inside
Super 8-Bit Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My friends are all coming over to play
We're gonna stay inside cause I just got Nintendo
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
And everything is going my way
I'm gonna stay inside so I can play computer
We'll have a LAN party with our systems attached
Mom yells down, It's nice outside.
You're getting kinda pudgy, you should exercise.
Mom, can I school these hacks?
Mom, can I have more snacks?
I'm asking you why can't I play my computer?
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
My friends are all coming over to play
We're gonna stay inside cause I just got Nintendo
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
And everything is going my way
I'm gonna stay inside so I can play computer
I'm on a super hard level
When I hear my mom say,
You better get ready, Mr. Taylor's on his way.
I just wanna skip my baseball game
Cause my coach is a jerk and my team is lame
Mom, can I ditch my ride?
Mom, can I stay inside?
I'm begging you, why can't I play my computer?
Until the sun goes down
Until the sun goes down
If I must leave this joint
Just wait till the next save point
If you're making me leave this joint
Just give me till the next save point
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
My friends are all coming over to play
We're gonna stay inside cause I just got Nintendo
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
And everything is going my way
I'm gonna stay inside so I can play computer.
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
My friends are all coming over to play
We're gonna stay inside cause I just got Nintendo
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
And everything is going my way
I'm gonna stay inside, I just want to play my computer.
The lyrics to Super 8-Bit Brothers’ song “Gonna Stay Inside” reveal the innermost desires of teenagers who just want to have fun with video games on a beautiful day. The song begins with the sun shining, and the singer’s friends coming over to play. However, instead of going outside to enjoy the day, the singer decides to stay inside because they just got Nintendo, and they want to play games on their computer. The singer and their friends set up a LAN party to challenge each other to video games.
The lyrics also reveal the struggles of dealing with parental authority. The singer’s mom keeps reminding them about the beautiful day outside and suggests that they should exercise and not play games all day. But the singer just wants to school their friends and play their computer. They even consider ditching some obligations, like a baseball game, to play games instead. The only thing they ask for is to stay inside until the next save point or until the sun goes down.
The song highlights the dual nature of video games, both as a form of entertainment and as a form of escapism. While playing video games can be fun and exciting, it can also lead to isolation and missed opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the world outside.
