Elaine
wiki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying' act like you my mother bitch
That's what i mutter it's
It's over she snaps
She heard it gives me a smack
Said that she's over my raps
Im sobered by that
That's my livelihood
Make me wanna do the type of shit a child would
But I smile good
Yeah leave me bitch
I know you need me it's
Clear as day that you wanna stay
Sometimes I think i love two girls
And I live two worlds
Life when I'm home
Then there's life on the road
One I might implode
The other i might explode
Don't know which is which but I'll be exposed
I'll be alone left
As long as you say high to me though fuck the sex
Smile in your face when you leave say bye to you hoe
Even though it was me that was hiding my phone
Being shiesty trying' get on
Bitches bitches shit is addictive
My dick is dick is playing chess with my brain
Y'all know Jerry did the same
But he never found the one
Should I be with Elaine?
The lyrics to Wiki's song "Elaine" express the conflicting emotions of a man who is torn between two women, and grappling with his own addictions and immaturities. The first stanza starts with the singer expressing frustration at the other person's attempt to control him, while admitting that deep down he knows he needs her. The line "Fuck livelihood that's my childhood/Make me wanna do the type of shit a child would" shows the character's struggle with the pressures of adulthood and his desire to escape them. He is also dealing with sobriety, impending loneliness, and the anxiety of being exposed for his infidelities.
The second verse continues with the same theme of internal conflict, as the singer describes living two separate lives—one at home and one on the road. He admits that he is addicted to sex and that his infidelity is a result of his own immaturity, playing "chess with his brain". The line "Should I be with Elaine?" perhaps suggests that one woman represents stability and love while the other represents the uncertainty and danger of his life on the road. Ultimately, the song leaves unanswered the question of which path he should take.
Line by Line Meaning
Talking on that other shit
Speaking on some irrelevant nonsense
Trying' act like you my mother bitch
Behaving as if you have authority over me like my mother would
That's what I mutter it's
That's what I say under my breath
It's over she snaps
She ends the conversation abruptly and angrily
She heard it gives me a smack
She hits me because of something she heard
Said that she's over my raps
She declares that she is tired of hearing my music
I'm sobered by that
I am offended and taken aback by her statement
That's my livelihood
My music is how I make a living
Fuck livelihood that's my childhood
My music is more than just my job, it's been a part of my life since I was a child
Make me wanna do the type of shit a child would
Her comment makes me feel so upset I want to act out like a child
But I smile good
Despite my emotions, I maintain a positive demeanor
Yeah leave me bitch
Go away, you female dog
I know you need me it's
I understand that you have feelings for me but I'm not interested
Clear as day that you wanna stay
It's obvious that you want to continue our relationship
Sometimes I think I love two girls
I am frequently torn between my feelings for two different women
And I live two worlds
I lead two separate lifestyles based on which woman I am with
Life when I'm home
My daily routine when I'm not touring
Then there's life on the road
My public persona and behavior when touring
One I might implode
One lifestyle may cause me to break down and self-destruct
The other I might explode
The other lifestyle may cause me to burst out or lash out in anger
Don't know which is which but I'll be exposed
I am unsure of which lifestyle is more authentic and I will eventually have to reveal myself
I'll be alone left
I fear being abandoned and left alone
As long as you say high to me though fuck the sex
As long as you acknowledge and greet me, I don't care about sexual activity
Smile in your face when you leave say bye to you hoe
I pretend to be friendly and polite but insult you behind your back
Even though it was me that was hiding my phone
I am the one being sneaky and hiding my phone
Being shiesty trying' get on
I am deceptive and manipulative in order to gain an advantage
Bitches bitches shit is addictive
I am attracted to and addicted to pursuing women
My dick is dick is playing chess with my brain
My sexual desires are in conflict with my rational decision-making
Y'all know Jerry did the same
Similar to how Jerry Seinfeld's character acted on the show "Seinfeld"
But he never found the one
He was never able to find his true love
Should I be with Elaine?
Is this woman named Elaine someone I should pursue and commit to?
