mind.in.a.box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Stop at me and walk past me
Stop at me and walk past me
Walk past me please girl
Stop at me and walk past me
Stop at me and walk past me
Stop at me and walk past me
Walk past me please
All up in my face, all up in my face
Palm trees all up in my face
All up in my face, all up in my face
I feel those palm trees all up in my face
All up in my face, all up in my face
Palm trees all up in my face
All up in my face, all up in my face
Yo face ain't beat yo hair ain't tight
Doja Cat couldn't save you tonight
So if you don't mind please move to
The right Ms. Allana coming through
And yes I wanna bite her apple
So sweet lookin delicious to me
And yes it's built flawlessly
Got apple bottoms on her feet
Wait a minute hold up
You talkin bout classy boy
You even talkin bout getting nasty boy
But who gon handle me?
Who gon tell em G?
Who needs a playa when you da whole team?
Yo outfit that's busta
Yo face Chris Tucka
Me, I'm a lolipop and you are a sucker
Why you throwin Shade
Why you throwin Shade
Why you throwin Shade
I feel those Palm trees all up in my face
All up in my face all up in my face
Palm trees all up in my face
Girl gon and just past me
Those Palm trees all up in my face
All up in my face all up in my face
Palm trees all up in my face
Ms. Allana let it Go!
I feel those Palm trees all up in my face
All up in my face all up in my face
Palm trees all up in my face
Girl go 'head and just pass me
Those Palm trees all up in my face
All up in my face all up in my face
Palm trees all up in my face
Why you throwin Shade
Why you throwin Shade
Why you throwin Palm Trees
It's a Party in a Box, It's a Party in a Box
It's a Party in a Box, It's a Party in a Box
The lyrics to "Shades" by mind.in.a.box convey a sense of frustration and annoyance towards someone who is throwing shade or being judgmental. The repetition of the lines "Stop at me and walk past me" emphasizes the desire for the person to simply ignore and move on from the singer. The mention of palm trees in the face can be seen as a metaphor for the intrusive and overwhelming presence of this judgmental person. The singer feels overwhelmed and wants them to just go away.
The lyrics also touch upon body image and the idea of beauty standards. The reference to Doja Cat implies that the judgmental person believes they are superior in terms of appearance. But the singer counters this by asserting their own confidence and attractiveness. They describe themselves as "a lolipop," someone desirable and irresistible, while belittling the judgmental person as a "sucker."
Overall, the lyrics reflect a sense of defiance and self-assuredness in the face of judgment and shade. The singer is unbothered by the opinions of others and focuses on their own worth and confidence.
