In a modern era. like idk “hope she dont refuse” “you know you want to” both make me a little eyebrow raisy. I don’t think the song itself has dodge inclinations or think Mark or Tom do either, I just find the lines a little… curious ? Tom seems to have a habit of odd choices when it comes to lyrics relating to relationships so it’s not new but idk. I imagine most wouldnt care or notice but my leftie ass had issues ? Better than that one AVA song where he talks about breaking and entering just to creep on someone as they're sleeping lmao. 4 Quote

Yeah this isnt an isolated example tbf, “Pretty little girl” as a method of referring to your fully adult wife is fucking bizarre and all. Quote
Monkey Chips Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 What about lyrics like "Lonely, cat-like master Drive me. Take me faster Eye-that, side back-alley Add to the score Join in the war rally" Source: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/angelsairwaves/teenagersrituals.html Quote

Haha I see what you mean, but it's much more innocent when you take it at face value that he's just working up the courage to ask someone to dance with him. 2 Quote

Yeah either that or asking someone out for the first time. You're nervous and hope they won't refuse so you also psych yourself up and instead of saying "Worst case they say no..." you tell yourself "Oh yeah, they want me to ask" so you have the courage. I wouldn't know though since I've never been on a date (I'm aromantic and on the ace scale so never really sought out relationships like that before). 1 Quote

Jan Mortensen Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 I thought I first heard "Don't let her refuse" so I'm chill it's just "hope she don' refuse". It's only creepy because of the Ramones costume. Quote

Jan Mortensen Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 I don't think that's that bad..comes off as more "don't overthink, might not get rejected", but refused rhymes better with where it was heading. 5 Quote
Champ182 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Haha this song is maybe too silly to dissect, but this is how I read it: Spoiler Don't think. Maybe she won't refuse She knows everything that I think. He's telling himself not to overthink it, maybe she'll want to dance with him, but he's so transparent she probably knows he's intimidated That girl, prettiest I could lose. My games, shittiest I could be. He's horrible at playing the flirty games so he's probably going to lose his chance with her I've been waiting around to lose. So dumb, trying to make believe you're mine. What are you gonna do? Come here, do you want to come dance with me? He's tired of playing make believe in his mind so he works up the courage to ask her. Tellin' your friends, you know you want to Shaking those hips like the devil's got you Waiting all night, 'cause now I want you Eyeing that chance, here we go, I got you Flirting from across the dancefloor all night until they take a chance and get together This song is making me beg for more. These drinks are breaking up old routines. He's feeling the vibes and getting some liquid courage My mind, pushing me out the door. So fucked, wishing I weren't so green. His anxieties are making him want to run away, he wishes he wasn't so new to this Me, you, won't you just fall in love Like me, or am I just too naïve? Tonight, it's getting a bit too rough But now, really wanting to make her scream He wishes she could just fall in love right away like he does, he's almost too confused to go on but he wants her more than ever You beat my heart from miles away You spin me like a hurricane You like to play your little games She's a force of nature who could do anything she wanted to him I'd like to have you every day, every way And do it all night long He longs for an all-encompassing relationship with her AND/OR he would enjoy a vigorous never-ending lovemaking session with her 2 Quote
Jan Mortensen Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 Those lyrics are actually pretty good as far as Tom-verse and blink-verse go. "Do you want to come dance with me" is pretty tame 1 Quote

Jan Mortensen Posted October 11, 2023 Author Posted October 11, 2023 How much better is this song/video than 90% of what's out there? Especially pop/punk rock? The pop-punk kings are back. I don't care if it's not as good as Enema anymore, we shouldn't be comparing it to that. How much better is this than everything else? FIRE 4 Quote

Sober/Cali was as good as or slightly better than what else was out there. This is like a whole stratosphere better, which is what we’re more used to with blink. 1 Quote
