Little White Bars
Terror Jr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should have never embraced you
I'm on a one-way street, oh
Oh, it don't take two
Want you out of my mental
So much potential
Take me out like a rental
Break me down and reassemble
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Fell in love with the same town
I try my best to get away from you
Away from you, away from you
Oh yeah
Now we're stuck inside this little dark bar
Working off these little white bars
Little white bars, little white bars, little white bars
In the car, doing 95 like a motherfuckin' light's off
I wanna see your face with the lights off
Oh, yeah, I wanna see your face with the lights off
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I wanna see your face with the lights off
Someone got shot on the TV
But it don't feel like a movie
I think this world's 'bout to leave me
It's only you who can treat me
Oh yeah
Fell in love with the same town
I try my best to get away from you
Away from you, away from you
Now we're stuck inside this little dark bar, oh yeah
Working off these little white bars
Little white bars, little white bars, little white bars
In the car, doing 95 like a motherfuckin' light's off
I wanna see your face with the lights off
Little white bars, little white bars
Little white bars, little white bars
Little white bars, little white bars
Oh yeah
Little white bars, little white bars
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Terror, terror, terror
The lyrics of Terror Jr's "Little White Bars" express feelings of regret, danger, and addiction. The singer wishes she could forget about the person who has her mentally trapped, who she should have not embraced in the first place. She is on a one-way street, and it is only her who needs to leave. She thinks there is a lot of potential in her to forget about that person, to start afresh by breaking herself down and reassembling into someone new. Nevertheless, she finds herself in a little dark bar, stuck inside and working off of little white bars.
The song portrays addiction to drugs or alcohol as a means of escape, to drown out the world's noise or to get away from someone. The singer finds herself in a dangerous situation, driving at high speed with the lights off, wanting to see the face of the person she knows she should forget with the lights off. She is aware of the dangerous world she lives in, where people get shot, but she also thinks this world is leaving her behind, with no one but the person she wants to forget to save her. The repeated phrase "little white bars" and the mention of "terror" at the end suggest the significance of substance abuse in the person's life, where a terror of addiction overtakes her.
Line by Line Meaning
Wish I couldn't taste you
Regretting a past attraction, wishing they never indulged in it
Should have never embraced you
Acknowledging the mistake of forming a connection with this person
I'm on a one-way street, oh
Feeling stuck in a direction they don't want to be going
Oh, it don't take two
Realizing they are the only one prolonging this relationship
Want you out of my mental
Desiring this person to no longer occupy their thoughts
So much potential
Thinking about the missed opportunities because of this person
Take me out like a rental
Wishing to erase this experience from their life like returning a rental item
Break me down and reassemble
Wanting to be broken apart and put back together, renewed without this person
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Expression of confidence with their decision to move on
Fell in love with the same town
Having a shared connection with this person
I try my best to get away from you
Attempting to distance themselves from the person they fell in love with
Away from you, away from you
Stating their goal to leave this person behind
Now we're stuck inside this little dark bar
Finding themselves in a dark place, metaphorically and literally
Working off these little white bars
Using drugs to cope with their situation
In the car, doing 95 like a motherfuckin' light's off
Driving recklessly due to being under the influence
I wanna see your face with the lights off
Rejecting this person even in their fantasies
Someone got shot on the TV
The dark environment they are in extends beyond their personal life
But it don't feel like a movie
Experiencing real-world trauma instead of fictional horror
I think this world's 'bout to leave me
Feeling disconnected from the world around them
It's only you who can treat me
Feeling a dependence on this person despite wanting to move on
Little white bars, little white bars, little white bars
Reiterating their use of drugs to cope
Terror, terror, terror
Presumably the repeated use of their band name for emphasis
