Tux
decor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it rung
I turned it off now
I'm waking up
First it's socks
And then it's floss now
I took the bus
The wheels spin just like a top now
Dropped the application off now
I wore the tux
They said to me:
"We think you'll work well."
Subsequently,
I'm put down the hall
Inside the seat
I know I've left
A deep impression
When in the nude
I fit quite different
Inside these sections
Out
Out
Out
I'll Churn it Churn it out
Out
Out
You turn it turn it out
Noticed the skyline had slowly become erased
The room was strewn
Gift baskets all over the place
Tasteful selections of preserves and canned goods
6 tapenades
And a smoked pig's foot
Bowtie and cuffs
Deluxe
Dress for success
The Tux
I wore the tux
And I want to take it off now
I wore the tux
And I want to take it off now
Whatcha gonna wear?
I wore the tux
And I want to take it off now
Whatcha gonna wear?
I wore the tux
And I want to take it off now
Let me slip into something (Why'd ya put it on?) a bit more comfortable
Let me slip into something (Why'd ya put it on?)a bit more wonderful
Let me slip into something (Why'd ya put it on?)a bit less structural
Let me slip into something (Why'd ya put it on?) a bit more curious
The lyrics to "Tux" by Deap Vally convey a sense of frustration and discomfort with the expectations and pressures of conforming to societal norms. The song starts with the singer slapping the clock and turning it off, indicating a desire to break free from the mundane routine of everyday life. The mention of socks and floss suggests the mundane tasks of getting ready in the morning. Taking the bus is another symbol of the monotonous routine.
The lyrics then shift to the singer wearing a tuxedo, which can be seen as a metaphor for conforming to societal expectations. The line "They said to me: 'We think you'll work well'" suggests that the singer is trying to fit into a certain mold in order to gain acceptance or success. However, the line "I fit quite different inside these sections" implies that the singer feels out of place and uncomfortable in this role.
The second half of the song introduces a sense of chaos and confusion. The skyline becoming erased and the room being filled with gift baskets and peculiar food items symbolize a loss of control and order. The repeated phrase "I wore the tux and I want to take it off now" expresses a longing to break free from the constraints and expectations imposed by society.
Overall, "Tux" is a critique of conformity and the pressures to fit into specific roles. It explores the desire to break free from societal norms and find a more authentic self.

when you're poor like that, there's no event for wearing those either. 😂. I borrowed my brother's for his wedding some years back and I still don't own a suit or a tux.
