Black Sheep
The Evil Exes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip shapshift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up everytime
Everyone pulls away
Ohhh
Ohhh
Got balls of steel got an automoblie for a minimal wage
Got real estate I'm buying it all up in outer space
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip shapshift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up everytime
Everyone ohhh pulls away
Ohhh
Its a mechanical bull and I'm the one
You'll take a ride from anyone
Everyone wants a ride
Pulls away ohhh
From you...
Ohhh
The Evil Exes's "Black Sheep" is an introspective song that delves into the complex nature of relationships and how people may change over time. The first verse begins with the singer addressing someone they used to know and how they both shared the same desire for the world to end. However, the truth has become something that can be manipulated and twisted to serve one's own interests, causing the singer to feel some level of mistrust towards the person they are addressing. The chorus talks about the singer's willingness to support this person despite their flaws and how others may pull away from them.
The second verse touches on the theme of power and material gain. The person being addressed now has gained control over their life, owning an automobile and buying up real estate even in outer space. The idea of bending the truth is brought up again suggesting that this person may have achieved their success in a deceptive way. The chorus repeats, with the singer still offering their support but acknowledging that others are reluctant to do so.
The bridge introduces a metaphor of a mechanical bull, with the person being addressed as the rider and everyone else wanting to take a ride from them. The chorus repeats once more, but this time with an emphasis on the others pulling away from this person. Overall, the song seems to be exploring themes of trust, power, and support in interpersonal relationships.

Hello again friend of a friend I knew you when
We have a mutual acquaintance and have met before
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
We both shared a nihilistic outlook and looked forward to the apocalypse
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
We live in a society where objective truth is often disregarded and manipulated
You crack the whip shapshift and trick the past again
You have a controlling and manipulative personality, and like to rewrite history to suit your needs
I'll send you my love on a wire
I will show affection to you from a distance
Lift you up everytime
I will support and encourage you
Everyone pulls away
People tend to distance themselves from you
From you...
This distancing is specifically from you
Got balls of steel got an automoblie for a minimal wage
I have confidence and persistence, and can achieve success with limited resources
Got real estate I'm buying it all up in outer space
I have big aspirations and am willing to take risks to make them happen
Its a mechanical bull and I'm the one
Life is challenging and unpredictable, but I am in control and can handle it
You'll take a ride from anyone
You are easily influenced and follow along with anyone's plans
Everyone wants a ride
People are eager to take advantage of your lack of direction
Pulls away ohhh
This eagerness ultimately pushes people away from you
From you...
Once again, this distancing is specifically from you
