Smash
Varsity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It wasn't right
To start tonight
Dissect my lines
What I was thinking

There's nothing to get
It's only a script
It's only a trip
What you were thinking

I thought a soccer ball could have it all
It made me feel like I was seven feet tall

Hey, no offense
Before you begin
I'm phoning it in
What were you thinking

It was all right
Thought you were bright
You're still a ten
But I'm not thinking

I'm tired and I'm stupid and I think I can't get bored
I'll back you in a corner with extended metaphors
I hate talking about myself and hate to be ignored
I'm out of jokes I'm out of luck I'm out of scores

I thought a soccer ball could have it all
It made me feel like I was seven feet tall




I thought a baseball bat was where it was at
A revolutionary way to fight back

Overall Meaning

The song "Smash" by Varsity has a complex structure of lyrics, which can be interpreted in various ways. The opening lines of the song, "It wasn't right. To start tonight. Dissect my lines. What I was thinking," suggest that the singer is not interested in sharing their thoughts or emotions. The phrase "Dissect my lines" can be interpreted as an attempt to read too much into what the singer is saying or writing. The singer then states that "It's only a script, It's only a trip, What you were thinking." This line indicates that the singer is not expressing their true feelings, but rather providing a performance or portraying a character.


The second half of the first verse reveals the singer's perspective on their past experiences, "I thought a soccer ball could have it all, It made me feel like I was seven feet tall." This line is a reminiscence of past times when the singer felt empowered and in control. The next verse begins with the singer trialing a complement by stating, "It was all right, Thought you were bright, You're still a ten, But I'm not thinking." This phrase suggests that the singer is not interested in forming any emotional connection despite the other party's apparent intellect and overall attractiveness. The next set of lines, "I'm tired and I'm stupid and I think I can't get bored, I'll back you in a corner with extended metaphors, I hate talking about myself and hate to be ignored, I'm out of jokes I'm out of luck I'm out of scores," demonstrate the singer's current state of mind. They feel tired, uninspired and insignificant, leading to negative emotions and a sense of being ignored.


In summary, "Smash" is a song that speaks to the notion of performance and hiding behind a facade. It explores the singer's reluctance to express their true emotions and feelings, leading to negative emotions and a sense of unfulfillment.

VARSITY somehow captures running across the beach while trying not to burn your toes on hot sand, walking down familiar streets with a good friend, lying in a tiny beach house bed, and a breath of salty, ocean breeze in every song
