The Warning
true genuis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra não ter que te encarar
Afogo na piscina
Pra você me salvar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Tenho todos que quero
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
Saio com seus vizinhos
Só pra você me notar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Não me despreze
Eu sou pior que você
Não tenha medo
Eu só quero brincar
In "The Warning", True Genius speaks of a love that is obsessive and all-encompassing. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to be noticed and loved by the subject of their affections. The lines "Finjo ser invisível / Pra não ter que te encarar" translate to "I pretend to be invisible / So I don't have to face you" which implies that the singer is shy and nervous around the person they admire. The following lines, "Afogo na piscina / Pra você me salvar" which mean "I drown in the pool / So you can save me" is an indication of the lengths they will go to get attention, and perhaps even love.
Although the singer has other people in their life, they can only think of this one person. The lyrics "Tenho todos que quero / Mas perco o ar quando te vejo" which means "I have everyone I want / But I lose my breath when I see you" shows that even though the singer may have everything they desire, they cannot have everything if they can't have the one they truly love.
The chorus, "Eu só quero brincar com você" translated as "I just want to play with you" portrays an innocent and child-like notion of loving someone, which is interesting considering the obsessive and extreme lengths that the singer takes. Overall, the lyrics of "The Warning" depict a love and desire for one person that is all-consuming.

that last 6 1/2 minutes was absolutely insane. you had my mind going in so many circles and literal gasps as each layer of the story built on itself. also, your uploads always make my lunch taste better. 🙃

@MrBallen I'm not defending any evil actions, but I do want to point out that no one in this thread seems to be aware of autism and in particular aspergers.
The show the Big Bang Theory, is a parody of actual autism but maybe you will start to get the idea.
People with aspergers are incapable of reading body language and social cues, and most endure horrid abuse in public schools. The nerd everyone laughs at, who has his lunch money taken, who is forced to do some jocks homework, or seduced to do the homework of the debutante.
Then out of grade school, they form groups in college, get into social networks that can easily turn criminal, usually not because of the austic but because some "player" knows he can take advantage for big profit and if the autistic is caught he won't be able to navigate the good ol boy legal system.
Have any of you participated in this type of conduct? You may not be as innocent as you would like to think.
And it gets worse because autism, especially aspergers is rarely suspected as a diagnosis, and instead they are diagnosed with guess what? Narcissistic personality disorder, manic depressive, and given drugs that in fact make the problem worse because the autistic brain is "wired" differently and the medications CAUSE dissociative disorder and they get tagged for life with a schizophrenia label.
What do you do after your sorority or social networks create monsters?
Maybe you should teach your children not to create them.

Sherry was hanging out with geniuses who did cosplay murder mysteries. She did this while in disguise, solving an ACTUAL murder mystery, and wasn't even a genius herself.

Maybe we need to reevaluate our definition of genius

@Don Juan Jovi I'm beginning to think that as long as you can put your socks on before you put your shoes on then you can qualify for Mensa. They let people like George in, for rice cakes.....
