Velour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got aware I had no words left to hide in
No no movies left to die in
Oh, no
No faces left
For crying
To curl up on me now
She said
I know the face
I know your ways
I know your kind
I know you're leaving
Anyhow
Well don't you know that I notice
All the cards you dropped in my way
I used to be Bbc
Long before you met me
If you want to fell the Bbc
Feel free to take a walk with me
I'm on the floor
I was before the music blew away the fences
(?)
And senses, oh...
Flew out the door
Descending
Into the streets
And into a car
Beggin' the driver to crank up the track
And I know I will be back
It's just a matter of walking
Let the (?) be drawn by your feet
I used to be Bbc
Long before she met me
If you want to feel the Bbc
Let's take a walk and tell me what you see
The song "Bbc" by Velour seems to be a reflection on a past significant relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer has no more words or stories to hide behind and no more tears to cry. They seem to have been through a lot already, and they know that the other person is leaving regardless. Despite this, the singer implies that they know the other person very well, including their ways and personality. They ask the other person to not curl up on them and to take a walk with them if they want to feel the same way they do. The song seems to be a bittersweet ballad about accepting the ending of a relationship while acknowledging that the two people once shared a very strong connection.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on their previous life as "Bbc" (whatever that may stand for) before they met the other person. It seems as though they have changed because of the relationship, but they are longing to feel like their old self again. The singer declares that they will be back, although it is unclear whether this means they will return to the relationship or something else entirely.
The song concludes with an invitation to take a walk and see what the other person feels. This could be interpreted in a number of ways, but it seems to suggest that the singer wants to make sense of their emotions and understand the other person. Overall, the lyrics seem to be a poignant and introspective reflection on a love that has ended.

There at the stairs
At the stairs, I suddenly became aware
I got aware I had no words left to hide in
I realized that I had no more words to conceal my feelings
No no movies left to die in
I have no more excuses left
Oh, no
Expressing worry and concern
No faces left
I have no more people to turn to for help
For crying
To express my sorrow and pain
Ay, don't you dare
Warning someone about their actions
To curl up on me now
Asking them not to abandon me at this moment
She said
The other person responded to my request by saying
I know the face
I am familiar with your expressions and reactions
I know your ways
I am aware of your habits and behavior
I know your kind
I know what type of person you are
I know you're leaving
I know that you will eventually leave
Anyhow
Regardless of the situation
Well don't you know that I notice
I have been aware of your actions
All the cards you dropped in my way
I have noticed all the little things you have done for me
I used to be Bbc
I used to be strong and independent
Long before you met me
Before I met you, I was capable of handling things on my own
If you want to fell the Bbc
If you want to feel strong and independent
Feel free to take a walk with me
Come with me and experience what it feels like to be strong
I'm on the floor
I am feeling defeated and hopeless
I was before the music blew away the fences
I was once free and unbound before I gave up my independence
(?)
Unknown
And senses, oh...
My intuition and instincts are guiding me
Flew out the door
I left quickly
Descending
Moving down towards something
Into the streets
Out in the open, exposed
And into a car
Getting into a vehicle to escape
Beggin' the driver to crank up the track
Urging the driver to start the car and go quickly
And I know I will be back
I have a feeling that I will return
It's just a matter of walking
All I have to do is keep moving forward
Let the (?) be drawn by your feet
Unknown
I used to be Bbc
I used to be independent and strong
Long before she met me
Before the other person came into my life
If you want to feel the Bbc
If you want to feel strong and independent
Let's take a walk and tell me what you see
Come with me and experience what it feels like to be strong

Whether or not mens tracksuit is supposedly out of style, I love wearing my collection of tracksuits...more comfortable than the usual daily clothing.

they're still cool and making a comeback

I was more hippie/goth back then. Very anti-track suit, but my grandmother gave me one for Xmas. She thought it looked comfy. IT WAS! I wore it around the house a lot. We all laughed. It was so wrong! 🤣

Shavin McCrouch, Well I guess I will have to be wrong then.

The velour tracksuit wasn't so bad as they are making it out to be. I got what was available at the store when I went shopping. And I owned this in cotton and it was nice and I mixed it up. I didn't ware it like they did no Tv.

Your unnecessarily rude. And sound like one of those people who follows the crowd. This group of people in the 90s would have been saying valor is so cool and the big shirts and leggings of the 80s was so so bad. And how could they have worn that outside.

Honestly, I still have a velour track jacket. I wear it with jeans.

"The cool kids were doing this. But I was never one of the cool kids" <- me. Absolutely me.
Velour track suits were "a thing" but I was not ok with em then & I'm not now either. I've never been keen on looking like I'm wearing a suit of what I assume is the fabric Liberace's pantaloon undies are made of. Just never interested me.

I kinda liked them! That's just my opinion though. Wear what makes you confident.
