Please Please
The Boogie Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of The Boogie Kings's song Please Please seem to be about a person who is warning someone else about the dangers of the world they are in. The singer is cautioning this person that they may misinterpret things and end up in trouble or get hurt because they are not familiar with the local customs and ways of doing things. The singer invites them to go back home because they are "too beautiful" and will surely be "ruined" if they stay in this place.
The singer goes on to describe the experience of being in this place for many years and how they have become detached from it, even though they are still present in it physically. They describe the people around them as "watching" and "waiting," suggesting that there is a sense of danger and mistrust in the air. The singer tells the person to "run" and "dart," as if they are trying to escape something that they cannot see or understand fully.
The chorus of the song repeats the words "please please" several times, as if the singer is pleading with the person to take them away from this place. They are "afraid" and want to be taken to a place where they will be safe and happy. The song ends on this note of desperation, as if the singer is crying out for help and hoping that someone will hear them and respond.
