Caroline
The Plastics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just this once let me be rude, just this once let me be rude
I got a pocket full of stories and a half smoked box of cigarettes and
A cassette that I made for Caroline, when I wanted her to be mine
It's a shame that you're a mess it's a shame you're so full of it
I'm staring at the holes in your reflection
Only then I know it's you, only then I can know it's you
Like the dustiness of morning or the taste of no regrets
cause she's never gonna be mine
It's a shame that you're a mess it's a shame you' re so full of it
Why did you walk out that day, you just got up and walked out on that day
You're looking at me that way stop looking at me that way I can't take it
It's a shame that you're a mess it's a shame you' re so full of it
It's a shame that you're a mess it's a shame you' re so full of
Everything or anything oh it's going to, going to
The Plastics' "Caroline" is a song about unrequited love and a failed attempt at getting the attention of someone who does not seem interested. The lyrics express the singer's desperation to be noticed and his frustration at the other person's lack of interest in him. He wants to be rude and draw her attention by any means possible, even if it means interrupting her routine.
The singer has a pocket full of stories and a cassette he made for Caroline. He wanted her to be his, but knows deep inside that she will never be his. He refers to her as a mess and someone who is full of it, which could either suggest that she is going through some personal struggles, or that she is not genuine.
The line "It's a shame that you're a mess it's a shame you're so full of it" is repeated several times in the song. It conveys the singer's struggle to come to terms with his unrequited love for Caroline. He cannot understand why she is not interested in him, and he is frustrated that she is not reciprocating his feelings.
