Impossible
sub-urban tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always in a hurry but yet in time
Then I met this individual
Since nothing's been in rhyme
Breast implants and bleached hair
Stilted smile, contact blue eyes
She's more than man could ask for
She's oh so natural
She is so impossible
And not quite intellectual
My girl is so impossible
She is so impossible
She makes me feel so sexual
When she talks with her thin voice
She makes me smile
My girl has no obligations
No schedule, no meetings for the day
She's so nicely irresponsible
Laughs at everything I say
Life for her is just a game
Head in clouds, feet above the ground
Big surprises and cincidents
Happen when my girl's around
One day I asked her a question
About life and it's direction
She looked into my eyes
She answered I'm not being very nice
Oh yeah?
Let's forget it
The lyrics to Suburban Tribe's song "Impossible" describe the singer’s feelings and attitude towards his lover. The singer used to be a man of principle, always punctual and efficient. However, he changed when he met his lover, who has breast implants and bleached hair, contact blue eyes, and a stilted smile. Though she appears artificial, she is natural to him.
The singer describes his lover as impossible because she is not quite intellectual and does not have any obligations, meetings, or schedules. Life for her is just a game, with her head in the clouds and feet above the ground. Despite this, the singer finds her attractive and makes him feel sexual, especially when she talks with her thin voice. She laughs at everything he says and surprises and coincidences happen when she is around.
However, the singer's attempts to have a deeper conversation with his lover about life and its direction come to a standstill when she dodges the question and tells him that he is not being very nice. From this, we can infer that the singer and his lover have a shallow relationship based on physical attraction.
Overall, the lyrics to "Impossible" reveal the singer's perspective on his romantic relationship with his lover. While he acknowledges her flaws and apparent lack of substance, he still finds her irresistible and is drawn to her.
