Butter
The Lonely Biscuits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My brain's eager to learn its filled with mindless self devotion
As I drift into the sky I realize my body's coastin'
Believe me I ain't boastin' Im just causing some commotion
The music scene needs something new for eveyone to go and talk about
And once this drops, other musicians have to walk it out
Think about how nothin' they do is original
We're all just stealing other people's thoughts, yo ain't it cynical?
The ladies love it when I'm serving gravy with some biscuits
Dudes get jealous and they put my CD on their wish list
Give it a listen if you're feeling like you're ambitious
I ain't dissin' other music, man, I love it all
It's just repetitive sometimes and it's nobody's fault
I'm wishing that the radio would add more creativity
I guess I'll take it on as my responsibility
I got these people tellin' me I
I gotta know where you at and where you been and where you going and what you spend
Just to get a little, just to get a little love
From another, I said spread it round to your brother
It goes like this, just do a little twist
And then slide to the center of the dance floor, miss
Maybe blow a little kiss and grab on my wrist
And then pull me straight into your emotional bliss
Now I'm locked in the lie of a lady
Everything she says is just driving me crazy
And now my image it becomes so hazy
Gotta get back to the real true Gravy
I gotta get back to the good ol' me
I gotta leave this girl just so the world can see just who I be
I'm digging my grave, my band's only been around for like a couple of days
And what we had yesterday, it's over
That girl got lucky like a four leaf clover
I struck out just tryna hit a homer
Gave away my heart like an organ donor, I told ya
I got these people tellin' me I
I gotta know where you at and where you been and where you going and what you spend
Just to get a little, just to get a little love
From another, I said spread it round to your brother
The Lonely Biscuits's song "Butter" is an intelligent commentary on the state of the music scene, the pressure put on artists, and the importance of originality. The first verse talks about the artist's desire to create something new, something that will cause a stir and get people talking. He recognizes that the world of music is often repetitive and unoriginal, and he wants to change that. He speaks of the responsibility he feels to bring more creativity to the airwaves, a goal he is committed to achieving.
The second verse is about the pressure that musicians face to conform to certain expectations. He acknowledges that people are curious about his personal life and choices, but that he believes love should be shared among all. He encourages others to spread the love, rather than being solely concerned with one person. He also speaks about the challenge of staying true to himself amidst the noise and distractions of the music industry. He acknowledges that fame and fortune can be fleeting, and he wants to stay grounded in his own identity.
Overall, the song is a refreshing take on the music industry and the challenges that artists face. It's a reminder that there is always more that can be done to push boundaries and create something unique.
