Black Sheep
The Evil Exes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello again friend of a friend I knew you when
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
From you...
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

Overall Meaning

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.
