Zididada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything's for free
Girls with long blond hair
One kiss and you'll be there
The sunset in her eyes
Loves to tell you lies
But you will never know
She makes you think
This night will last forever
She makes you shine
So bright and fine
She makes you fly away so high
High that she would so anything
Though you had a ball, you might feel pain
Pride will mess your brain
You could limb out of here
But that will get you nowhere
Close your eyes and you will see
Second ride ain't free
The Cathouse always wins
You slowly sliding in
She makes you think
This night will last forever
She makes you shine
So bright and fine
She makes you fly away so high
High that she would so anything
The song "Anything" by Zididada is generally about the feeling of being lured in by someone or something that is probably not good for you, like a person or an experience. The opening line of "Open up your eyes so you can see/ Everything's for free" sets the tone of the song, almost as if it's a warning to be wary of what's to come. The mention of "girls with long blond hair" emphasizes the allure of this person or experience. The next few lines, "The sunset in her eyes/ Loves to tell you lies/ But you will never know/ Lean back and let it flow" reinforce the idea that this "thing" is not entirely genuine or trustworthy, but it's difficult to resist. The lines "She makes you think/ This night will last forever/ She makes you shine/ So bright and fine/ She makes you fly away so high/ High that she would do anything" convey the sense of being swept away by this person or experience, making it difficult to see the reality of the situation.
The song then takes a darker turn with the lines "Though you had a ball, you might feel pain/ Pride will mess your brain/ You could limb out of here/ But that will get you nowhere." This seems to suggest that even though the "thing" may seem enjoyable at first, it may lead to regret or consequences later on. The final verses stress this point further, with lines like "Close your eyes and you will see/ Second ride ain't free/ The Cathouse always wins/ You slowly sliding in" conveying a sense of being trapped or unable to escape the situation.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about being lured in by something that may seem too good to be true.
