White Dress
Tusky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was caught in a white dress
And I figure since she caught me now
I figure I figure it's time
That you call me boy
But I'm not a boy
And I was making up
You took me down and proved me wrong but??
Take it out and make it count and hit me I can prove
I'll take my mothers make-up too
And I figure since she caught me now
I figure I figure I'm the one to go away
You call me boy
But I'm not a boy
And I was making up
You took me down and proved me wrong but??
Take it out and make it count and hit me I can prove
I'll take my mothers make-up too
I was caught in a white dress
And I was making up
You took me down and proved me wrong but??




Take it out and make it count and hit me I can prove
I'll take my mothers make-up too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Tusky's song "White Dress" seem to tell the story of someone who was caught in a compromising situation, represented by the metaphor of being "caught in a white dress." The person is being addressed as "boy," but they assert that they are not a boy. It's unclear exactly what the singer was caught doing, but they seem to have been making something up or hiding something. The line "You took me down and proved me wrong" suggests that the person who caught the singer called them out on their lies or deceit, and made them confront the truth.


Despite being caught, the singer seems defiant and determined to prove something. They say "Take it out and make it count and hit me I can prove," which could imply a desire to face a challenge head-on and prove their worth. The line "I'll take my mother's make-up too" could be seen as another act of defiance, challenging gender norms and expectations.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of tension and struggle, as the singer wrestles with their identity and the consequences of their actions. Despite their bravado, there is an undercurrent of vulnerability and uncertainty as they confront the truth and face the consequences.

This is what I made out of it:
I was caught in a white dress
I said it(?)

And I figure since you’ve caught me now
I figure I figure
It's time
That you call me boy
But I'm not a boy

And I was making out
You took me down and threw me round the room
Take it out and make it count and hit me black and blue
I'll take my mother’s make-up too

Hate my lesbi trapping up forever(?)

And I figure since you’ve caught me now
I figure I figure
I'm the one to go away
But you call me boy
But I'm not a boy

And I was making out
You took me down and threw me round the room
Take it out and make it count and hit me black and blue
I'll take my mother’s make-up too

Hate my lesbi trapping up forever(?)

You took me down and threw me round the room
Take it out and make it count and hit me black and blue
