Tonight
And you say "Get sleep" but you don't exist so
Why would i?
Uh oh!
Smell you later, my romantic nature!
Turn on the lights at to the ghost inside
Bah-Bye! I'm waving you goodbye!
And I thought this was the end my friend
But I feel that touch on my shoulder
Haven't told ya, im a little cold you know?
So don't be surprised if I call you mine
Or call you in general
Stop pretending like all the rules haven't changed,
Anyway I can see your face
Smell you later, my romantic nature!
Bah-Bye! I'm waving you goodbye!
Turn on the lights at to the ghost inside
Bah-Bye! I'm waving you goodbye!
I'm waving you goodbye...
The song "Boo Shimmy" by Pinstripe Sunny is about longing for someone who isn't there, both physically and emotionally. The singer is online late at night, presumably hoping to connect with someone, but finds themselves alone. They are told to get some sleep, but refuse because the person telling them doesn't exist. The catchy "Uh oh!" that punctuates the song is a signal that something is about to change.
The singer then bids farewell to this imaginary person, with a playful "Smell you later, my romantic nature!" and waves goodbye. However, in a surprising twist, they feel a touch on their shoulder and realize that someone else is there with them. Despite feeling a little cold, the singer is excited at the prospect of finally connecting with someone.
The song captures the feeling of loneliness and the desire to find someone to connect with, but also explores the fear of rejection and the uncertainty of opening up to someone new.
