Black Holes
The E.B.B.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh baby, wanna get in a fight
Breaking glass bottles is oh so fun
Let's go and kill someone
Living in this city, I get so bored
Wanna kill myself on a telephone cord
I guess we could go drive around
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Sick of all the same lame faces
Oh, I'm stuck in a black hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Tired and there's nowhere to go
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole
Staying out 'til six in the morning
Trying to find something that's not boring
We could go party down the street
And show those kids to the beat
Eating pizza is really great
So is destroying everything you hate
I just wanna lose all control
[Incomprehensible] fucking hell hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Sick of all the same lame faces
Oh, I'm stuck in a black hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Tired and there's nowhere to go
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole
Drinking Coca-Cola all night
Ooh baby, wanna get in a fight
Breaking glass bottles is oh so fun
Let's go and kill someone
Living in this city I get so bored
Wanna kill myself on a telephone cord
I guess we could go drive around
But what's the point?
The E.B.B.F.'s song "Black Holes" depicts the desperation and frustration of a person trapped in a monotonous and uneventful life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply unsatisfied with their existence, and is resorting to destructive and dangerous behaviors, such as drinking, vandalism, and thoughts of suicide and murder, to alleviate their boredom and anger. The repetition of phrases like "always going back and forth" and "stuck in a black hole" reinforces the sense of hopelessness and stagnation that the singer feels.
The use of Coca-Cola as a symbol of indulgence and excess highlights how the singer is turning to fleeting pleasures to numb their pain. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that these superficial distractions are not enough, and the singer is increasingly aware of the futility of their actions. The line "I just wanna lose all control" captures the desire for escape and release from the oppressive routine of their life, even if it means self-destruction.
Overall, "Black Holes" is a powerful commentary on the ennui and despair that can arise from living in a society that prioritizes productivity and conformity over individual fulfillment.
