VCR
Tyler The Creator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then I'll lay you down and record soft porn
If it's romance then it's hardcore, if it's horror
Pop the pop corn, the thoughts to rape you really turns me on
Press my buttons baby, press my fucking buttons baby
You're my favorite show, any chance I get I try to watch
Sort of like a psycho when I can't stop with the rapings
Of the VHS especially during sex baby
Press my buttons baby, press my fucking buttons baby
Ready to watch? I'm a slip it in the tape deck
But put it in slow-mo, I don't want to bust the tape yet, press play
Now this is what I call an evening
A live show, almost equivalent to the screening
Your dream movie? I'm the clearest copy
Now time for Blow, I'm Johnny deep with the rarest poppy
Snort a little, now you're getting groovy
'Cause I'll kill if I find out you're watching some other movies, bitch
Press my buttons baby, press my fucking buttons baby
Danielle, Danielle, yeah you heard about Raquel
Well that didn't go well, let us try to make it swell
Put the beaver in the mail, we can take it slow like snail
Lock my heart up, this is jail, throw away the key
Can I sleep over, and wake up next to you?
I want to feel you near, just let me whisper in your ear, um
We can kick it on the couch, blunt you can roll it up
But I'm on some shrooms if you really want to feel the room
I just want to kick it, kick it for the rest
I skated all day, I just need some rest, I'm depressed
Can I sleep over, and wake up next to you?
I want to feel you near, just let me whisper in your ear, um
We can count the stars on the hood in your father's car
He's a buster anyway, I can take him any day
Look into your eyes I realize that I like you so much
That was corny, now I'm horny, can I have a kiss?
Can I sleep over, and wake up next to you?
I want to feel you near, just let me whisper in your ear, um
We both teenagers with the same mind state
How about some ice cream and some South Park for this first date?
Your cat is waiting for that raw fish I can't wait, get it?
Can I sleep over, and wake up next to you?
I want to feel you near, just let me whisper in your ear, um
The lyrics to Wheels by Tyler The Creator/Mike G is a song that speaks to a voyeuristic and dangerous obsession with someone. The song is controversial in its subject matter, and it doesn't shy away from describing a dark and inappropriate fascination with another person. The lyrics suggest that the singer is interested in the idea of watching someone undress, sexually assaulting them, and taping it. He’s obsessed with the idea of having control, while also bringing pain and harm to the person.
The chorus of the song consists of the line "Press my buttons baby, press my fucking buttons baby," which is meant to reference a desire for the other person to indulge his obsession with them. In the second verse, the singer seems to be making excuses for his behavior, suggesting that he's unable to control his urges and that his obsession is like an addiction.
Overall, the lyrics of Wheels are incredibly disturbing, and they seem to be attempting to raise awareness about the dangers of predatory and controlling behavior.

I want to spend the night with you and be close to you, and maybe even share some intimate moments

@Jonesmarc1
+Noah Manion what's the difference between VCR and blow my load
@CrescimoneMatt
+TJJohnson But what's different is this was when we didn't know who he was. He was this mysterious figure. And honestly, for music like this, that makes it soooo much greater.
@MaidenVoyagee
+marcus jones big difference when vcr is about rape and blow my load is about consensual sex hahaha
@YungTsundere
a lot of Tyler's songs disgust people and I think that's what makes me enjoy them even more
