Impulse
Teamonade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanted to get away
Took it for a spin and it broke down
The very next day
Shady salesman said
The deal of the century
I should know by now when people are
Tryna take advantage of me
Blinded by my impulses
The thought process is repulsive
I'm wasting all my money
Nose is always runny
Suck it up and jump the gun
Don't think of repercussions
I'm taking everybody down with me
Packed my shit up
Didn't know where the fuck to go
Parents offering to let me
Move back home
They gotta big house but I always gotta
Watch my tone
I'm just tired of sticking with
What I've always known
Blinded by my impulses
The thought process is compulsive
Life's a fucking joke
Everything is funny
Shoot me with a water gun
Forget there are precautions
I'm taking everybody down with me
The song Impulse by Teamonade is about the singer's impulsive tendencies, which lead him to make bad decisions and disregard consequences. The first verse talks about how he bought a junk car because he wanted to get away, but it broke down immediately. The salesman tricked him into thinking it was a good deal, but he was too blinded by his impulses to see the truth. The second verse talks about how he packed up his things and left without a plan, and his parents offered him a place to stay. However, he feels like he can't be himself around them and is tired of sticking with what he's always known. He's so impulsive that he doesn't think about the consequences of his actions and takes everybody down with him.
The lyrics convey the theme of impulsive behavior and how it can lead to regret and negative consequences. The singer is aware of his problem, but he's unable to control his impulses. He describes life as a joke and everything as funny, which suggests a nihilistic worldview. The song shows how impulsive behavior can be addictive, as the singer continues to make bad decisions despite knowing that they're harmful to him and others.
