He's So Good
Trash Boat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He discovered the truth from things he overheard
They have a son among the accursed
Hitherto if it's true that we choose
What′s it got to do with you?
It makes me wanna scream
He's so good when he talks to his mother (he's so good when he talks to his mother)
His father disappeared, like he was never here
It makes me wanna scream
Nothing′s changed from the kid they raised
Never look back just to save their face
They have a son they don′t deserve
Well, you get what you fucking deserve, dickhead
He's so good when he talks to his mother (he′s so good when he talks to his mother)
She found out that we were lovers (she found out that we were lovers)
His father disappeared, like he was never here
It makes me wanna scream
He broke down when he lost his mother (he broke down when he lost his mother)
But he found love in the arms of another (but he found love in the arms of another)
His father so austere, his boy's a fucking queer
It makes him wanna scream
He′s so good when he talks to his mother (he's so good when he talks to his mother)
She found out that we were lovers (she found out that we were lovers)
His father disappeared, like he was never here
It makes me wanna scream
He broke down when he lost his mother (he broke down when he lost his mother)
But he found love in the arms of another (but he found love in the arms of another)
His father so austere, his boy′s a fucking queer
It makes him wanna scream
He's so good when he talks to his mother
She found out that we were lovers
His father disappeared, like he was never here
It makes me want to scream
The song "He's So Good" by Trash Boat is a lyrically intense and emotionally charged piece about the struggles of the LGBT community and the effects of homophobia on individuals and families. The opening lines "I couldn′t paint you a picture with a thousand words, He discovered the truth from things he overheard" sets the tone and theme of the song as it depicts the struggle of trying to find the right words to express oneself and convey the truth about one's sexuality, especially in an environment where such identity is not readily accepted.
The song also touches on the issue of parental acceptance and how critical it is for the well-being of individuals. The lyrics "He's so good when he talks to his mother, She found out that we were lovers, His father disappeared, like he was never here" highlights the importance of family understanding and support of individuals who are part of the LGBT community. It also shows how some individuals, especially fathers, often distance themselves when they find out that their children are not heterosexual, creating a gap that affects both parties negatively.
The lyrics are impactful and paint a picture of the realities of the struggle for acceptance in the society against negative biases and stereotypes. The song ends with the repeated phrase "It makes me want to scream," which shows the frustration and pain of individuals who feel discriminated against and unable to express themselves freely without fear of rejection.

The lyrics, the music, the vocal style, everything is amazing! Easily one of the best songs I’ve heard this year yet.

I sent this to my brother whose always struggles w his sexuality from society. He was born on the same day as me 4 years apart so I’ve always felt this strong bond w him. His father walked out on us when he was 2. I was always his role model & influence. This song rings volumes to his story & its sorrowful but your message calms the waters of pain. Can’t wait for my content, loved this.

Very different vibe, but I appreciate how Tobias reimagined his vocal style with a few heavy moments still tossed in. Heavy subject matter too, they did a good job at making it feel realistic, not cheesy. Definitely reminds me a lot of the 2000s scene in a good way, it keeps growing on me...
Kamran M
He's definitely putting on a more american accent than usual

I hope this song makes it to your best songs list. This message on Domestic Violence needs to be heard around the world. Then again though, I might be overexaggerating lol.
Song of the year in my opinion lol

@punkbedfilms the song is actually about living in a family closeted check genius.
