Because
The Wannadies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because, because and all because I say so
It's fun to be, around to tease, you all
Because, because and all because I want to
because, because and all because
I'm bold, I'm brave
I go my own ways
Because, because, and all because
I drink and smoke
Until I choke, until I'm broke
Cause I want to!
I want, to show
The world, that I know
Just how to cause, to cause real chaos
I shake and spin
I am the king
Because, because and all because
I drink and smoke
until I choke, until I'm broke
And laugh at every stupid joke
Cause I want to!
I drink and smoke
Until I choke, until I'm broke
And laugh at every stupid joke
Cause I want to!
The lyrics to The Wannadies' song "Because" create a narrative about a person who takes control of their life and does what they want without regard for what others think or the consequences of their actions. The chorus, "because, because and all because," suggests that this person is acting on their own volition and does not feel restrained by societal norms. The singer takes pleasure in teasing those around them and being the center of attention. The repetition of the phrase "I drink and smoke until I choke, until I'm broke" demonstrates a reckless abandonment of responsibility and a desire for self-destruction. The final line, "Cause I want to!" suggests that this person is motivated entirely by their own desires and has no outside influences.
Overall, the tone of the lyrics is rebellious and nonconformist. The use of repetition throughout the song emphasizes the singer's singular focus on their own actions and desires. This creates a feeling of disorientation and chaos that mirrors the instability of the singer's lifestyle. The song is a celebration of hedonism and self-indulgence and a rejection of societal norms and values.

I'm counting in - the band begins
I'm starting the countdown, and the band starts playing
Because, because and all because I say so
For no particular reason, I say it should be this way
It's fun to be, around to tease, you all
I enjoy being here, teasing all of you
Because, because and all because I want to
Again, for no particular reason, I want things to go my way
because, because and all because
Continuing to emphasize that there is no reason for my actions
I'm bold, I'm brave
I see myself as courageous and daring
I go my own ways
I prefer to make my own choices and follow my own path
Because, because, and all because
And once again, there is no particular reason why
I drink and smoke
I indulge in drinking and smoking
Until I choke, until I'm broke
To an extreme point where it affects my health and finances
Cause I want to!
But I do it because I enjoy it
I want, to show
I have a desire to demonstrate
The world, that I know
To everyone that I am knowledgeable
Just how to cause, to cause real chaos
Specifically, how to create chaos or confusion
I shake and spin
I move around in a frenzied manner
I am the king
I see myself as powerful and in control
Because, because and all because
Reiterating the fact that I have no real reason for my behavior
And laugh at every stupid joke
I find humor in even the most ridiculous jokes
Cause I want to!
Because I feel like it and it brings me pleasure
