Virginia Wolf
The Procussions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She mad when I'm around, mad I'm out of town
She tellin' me ain't doin much (Huh)
And my job is only barely a job
I'm like the child in my sandbox playing house (Ouch)
Oblivious to a fault, content being ignored
I'm absent, a bore, and on top of it all obnoxious
And I don't bring her flowers anymore
Even when I ain't busy I don't make an effort to call
I make a living out of, making her livid
Because I never get upset
Means I don't care enough to make it an issue
I don't, listen or pay attention or mention her hair color
Stare at other women in lust, catching a glare from her
She wonders if I'm lookin' to make a trade
Is this part of the game?
Thinkin' maybe I should just
Leave
You
Ahh
Ahh
Maybe I should just
Leave (Leave, leave yeah)
You (I'll stay)
Ahh (Don't know why)
Ahh
Thinkin' maybe I should just
Leave
You (You)
Thinkin' maybe I should just
Ahh
Ahh
Thinkin' maybe I should just
Leave (Leave, yeah)
You (You)
Thinkin' maybe I should just

Ahh (Don't know why)
Thinkin' maybe I should just
I get mad soon as she start yelling (Huh)
Mad she being loud, with my cousin around
She pick apart everything I tell her (Uh)
She do it cause she enjoys
To see me get annoyed
She's often got a friend up
Tellin' her when I'm out
I'm about cheating and she believing what's out her mouth
She got a problem with everybody (Huh)
She's oblivious to the fact that friend be tryin' to holla at me (Holla at me)
It's my fault she hate her job
Telemarketer, she quit studyin' pre-law
It's never her, she's never late, she's never wrong (Uh)
She never did it, she don't fidget, she don't snore (Uh)
She used to waste a lotta money but not anymore
She still in the mirror I'm holding the front door
She's ready to go, "You ready to go? Let's go!"
I'm starin' at the front porch
Thinkin' maybe I should just
Leave
You (You)
Ahh (I'll still be here)
Ahh (Don't know why)

In "Virginia Wolf" by The Procussions, the lyrics depict a troubled relationship between two individuals. The singer acknowledges his shortcomings and the frustration that his partner feels towards him. He admits to not putting in enough effort, neglecting to communicate and pay attention to his partner, and neglecting small gestures of love like bringing her flowers. He describes himself as oblivious and absent, leading to his partner feeling ignored and unappreciated.
The singer also expresses his own frustrations with his partner. He becomes angry when she yells and picks apart everything he says. He feels like she believes rumors of him cheating and has a problem with everyone around her. He notices her flaws but fails to recognize his own contribution to the issues in their relationship.
The song seems to convey a sense of ambivalence and indecision. Both individuals are contemplating whether they should leave or stay in the relationship. While they express frustrations and grievances, there is still a lingering attachment and uncertainty about what the future holds for them.
Overall, "Virginia Wolf" delves into the complexities and difficulties of a strained relationship, exploring themes of emotional neglect, miscommunication, and the conflicting emotions that arise when contemplating the possibility of ending or salvaging a relationship.
