Smash
Trash Talk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't keep my fucking head on straight
I gotta think of something before it's too late
TOO LATE!
I've sat down thought it through
realizing there is only one think I can do
smash your fucking enemies.
The lyrics to Trash Talk's "Smash" depict a protagonist who is consumed with hatred and feels like they have lost control of themselves. They are struggling to keep their thoughts in order, recognizing that if they don't come up with a solution soon, it will be too late. The lyrics suggest that the singer has spent some time contemplating their situation and have come to the conclusion that the only way to get past their problems is to "smash" their enemies.
The tone of the lyrics is intense, reflecting the rage that the singer feels. The repeated mentioning of being "too late" heightens this sense of urgency and desperation. The choice of the word "smash" suggests a complete and violent destruction of the antagonist - this is not a song about turning the other cheek or trying to come to a peaceful solution. Instead, the singer is channeling their anger into a violent solution.

The sentence is mostly douchey because he's calling a grown, successful man "boy". That's belittling and disrespectful.
