Concrete Lyrics
[Intro: Wilbur Soot]
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Wilbur Soot]
Any more words? I think you've spoke enough
'Cause the pubs are empty and they're closing up
When you're spitting spite as fast as saliva
But with the prose of a standard English drunk, she says
"I hope the saltwater ruins your clothes
And I hope you spend the rest of your life sleeping alone
I hope the problems that make your life harder
Sit stubborn in your stomach like your kidney stones", and yet
[Pre-Chorus: Wilbur Soot]
All this, over a kiss!
You weren't therе, why you pressed by this?
Now it's turning three in the morning
Thе bouncer's put you on his third warning
But I'm still here, I'm not leaving
[Chorus: Wilbur Soot]
You won't get what you need (All this over a kiss!)
You know it's always the same, it's all just a game
If I had it my way, you'd sleep on the concrete floor
What'd you say to me? (All this over a kiss!)
'Cause I'm not sure
I'm not sure they'd let you off easily
[Verse 2: Wilbur Soot]
It's a p!ssed-off march up to the bus stop station
With p!ssed-up eyes glossed with earlier conversations
And the consequence of your desperation
Is the people on the nightbus have to listen to you!
And all I'm saying is (Woo!)
How can you look at yourself in the windowpane
Without wanting to hit yourself?
But your fist descends through the condensation
[Pre-Chorus: Wilbur Soot]
All this, over a kiss!
You weren't there, so why you pressed by this?
Now it's turning three in the morning
The bouncer's put you on his third warning
But I'm still here, I'm not leaving
[Chorus: Wilbur Soot]
You won't get what you need (All this over a kiss!)
You know it's always the same, it's all just a game
If I had it my way, you'd sleep on the concrete floor
What'd you say to me? (All this over a kiss!)
'Cause I'm not sure
I'm not sure they'd let you off easily
Concrete Lyrics Meaning
"Concrete" by Lovejoy, explores the aftermath of a romantic encounter gone wrong. The lyrics delve into the consequences of a heated situation, possibly involving a kiss, and the resulting emotions and conflicts. The narrative unfolds in a pub setting and later extends to a bus stop, providing a vivid portrayal of the characters and their reactions. Let's explain the meaning of each paragraph.
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the speaker suggests that someone has spoken too much, potentially causing trouble in a pub that is now closing. The lyrics convey a mix of bitterness and drunkenness, with the speaker imagining the negative impact of saltwater on someone's clothes. There's a wish for solitude and challenges in the person's life, expressed through vivid imagery like kidney stones.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus reflects the escalating tension over a kiss and questions the validity of someone's involvement in the situation. It introduces the late-night setting, with the bouncer issuing warnings, yet the speaker remains resolute in staying.
[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the frustration and predictability of the situation. The speaker believes the person won't achieve what they truly need, highlighting the cyclical nature of such conflicts. There's a desire for a different outcome, where the person faces discomfort, perhaps metaphorically represented by sleeping on a concrete floor.
[Verse 2]
The second verse describes a disgruntled march to a bus stop station, with the speaker's eyes revealing the effects of earlier conversations and desperation. The consequences of the person's actions extend to inconveniencing others on the nightbus. The lyrics express frustration with the person's behavior and a rhetorical question about self-reflection.
[Pre-Chorus]
Repeating the pre-chorus, the lyrics reinforce the theme of the situation escalating over a kiss. The speaker acknowledges the late hour and the bouncer's warnings but reaffirms their decision to stay.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the futility of the person's pursuit and expressing uncertainty about their ability to escape consequences easily. The repetition reinforces the theme of frustration and the speaker's desire for a different outcome.
