A Little Too Obvious
The Motorleague Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I'm building these walls 'till the tide comes in
I want to meet the world from a brand new place
But I can't stand the feeling of skin these days
I'm living in a castle made of sand
But tonight I want to live Like I'm nervous
Sometimes for the world. Just furious
Oh, how you build me up
You tear me back down just to build me up
Wooooooah Woah Woaaaah
This heart stops beating
Every time you meet her
Every time I'm here
I'm being just a little too obvious
Yeah, I'll make it just a little more obvious
I got holes in everything I own
Holes that I can see while I slip out
And I want to meet a world with a brand new face
But I can't scale the walls keeping me in place
I got holes in everything I own
Tonight I want to feel like I'm breaking out
Of the same sad story that I've been about
Oh, how you build me up
You tear me back down just to build me up
Wooooooah Woah Woaaaah
This heart stops beating
Every time you meet her
Every time I'm here
I'm being just a little too obvious
Yeah, I'll make it just a little more obvious
Tonight I want to feel like I'm breaking out
Woooooooah Woah Woaaaah
This heart stops beating
Every time you meet her
Every time I'm here
I'm being just a little too obvious
Yeah, I'll make it just a little more obvious
In "A Little Too Obvious" by The Motorleague, the singer is describing their feelings of being trapped and confined. They feel as if they are living in a "castle made of sand" and are desperately trying to build walls to protect themselves. However, they long to break out of this static state and experience something new. They express frustration with the feeling of being trapped in their own skin and unable to fully engage with the world.
The chorus describes the singer's relationship with someone who confuses and manipulates them. The person builds them up, only to tear them back down again. Despite this, the singer is still drawn to them, and their heart stops beating every time this person meets someone else. The singer acknowledges that they are being a little too obvious in their attraction to this person, but they still want to be with them.
Overall, the song captures the conflicting emotions of feeling trapped but longing for liberation, and being drawn to someone who both builds you up and tears you down.

Every time you meet her
Whenever you see someone else, it hurts me deeply

I am making my thoughts and emotions too clear and vulnerable
Yeah, I'll make it just a little more obvious
But even though it's risky, I will try to be even more honest and transparent
I got holes in everything I own
My life has many flaws and insecurities
Holes that I can see while I slip out
And those flaws are always present, even when I try to distract myself
Tonight I want to feel like I'm breaking out
But tonight, I want to be bold and daring, and break free from these insecurities
Woooooooah Woah Woaaaah
I am feeling intense emotions and energy

@neil-gz6ve
It's a complete injustice that the world deprived itself of this incredible talent
@TheMotorleague

@RandyGrover
See you guys on Friday!!
@vndrewevans
This shit is amazing how are they not famous
@DurpVonFronz
Cause its not them dude, have you seen these guys, they are clueless... someone else is writing and making the tunes, these guys are the drones that stand there and pretend like its theirs... like brittney spears, most of her songs came from a dude in the europes. same thing here..
@TheMotorleague
@@DurpVonFronz WTF? this is the weirdest comment I've ever read in my life. I would love to know more of your thoughts on this.
@DurpVonFronz
What you mean weirdest, never heard of bands that dont write their own tunes? Just watch em. Find one of their studio songs and then find a live version of that same song.. the live is hilariously terribly bad.. like they have zero clue what to do.

@@DurpVonFronzš this comment makes no sense
@before.the.dinosaurs
@@DurpVonFronzdon and The Motorleague write all of their own music. I personally have watched them sweat their balls off since the beginning. Went to their show in their hometown in the spring and it blew everyoneās socks off. Even BETTER than the live. You my friend are speaking from your š
