Doorman Lyrics – Mura Masa ft. slowthai
Doorman Lyrics
[Intro: Slowthai]
How's business this morning?
Pretty good
I made 'bout twelve, thirteen quid
And that was without not having any arguments with anyone
That's pretty j– just straight
If you don't ****, gonna get your head kicked in
[Verse 1: Slowthai]
Shoot the messenger, string 'em up
She's a 10 plus 10, not enough
Mixed messages, wires crossed
Marry me, what you got? Too much
Toothbrush and socks
Parents minted, Mayfair, couple dogs
We go on walks, she never talks
I pour my heart out, she laps up my blood
Blue lights, double vision
Heart races like supercars
Two drinks, the room's spinning
Zebedee, you're the ace of hearts
High society, cute kittens
Allergies, I don't like you enough
Blocked me on your private finsta
Your godmother should come play with us
[Chorus: Slowthai]
Nicotine, can't quit it
Two's up, two's down
You stub it out before I finish
On my arm and I scream out, "Wow"
Nicotine, can't quit it
Two's up, two's down
You stub it out before I finish
On my arm and I scream out, "Wow"
[Verse 2: Slowthai]
Doorman, let me in the door
Spent all my money, you ain't getting no more wages
Sure, sir, sir, are you sure?
In short, I'm not a mop you can drag 'cross the floor
Inside, shell shock
She's standing with a guy
Guys your mans stare him out, real polite
"No, please, no thanks"
"Want a drink?"
"I'm alright"
Beer goggles on, pull the wool, now I'm blind
Clear as day, I can see
You make me melt, sun, ice cream
You smooth like felt, soft to the touch
You wear repellent, smell your scent from up above
Angel getting carried out the club
For slapping Harry, Harry's just a mug
I'm stood outside waiting, where you gone?
Cubicle lines, catch a cold, Jack Frost
[Chorus: Slowthai]
Nicotine, can't quit it
Two's up, two's down
You stub it out before I finish
On my arm and I scream out, "Wow"
Nicotine, can't quit it
Two's up, two's down
You stub it out before I finish
On my arm and I scream out, "Wow"
[Outro: Slowthai]
Just about any type of drug is in
But glue-sniffing ranks equal number one with cheap booze
Hello
Cyril is a glue man and his outlook on life is invariably through a plastic bag
Even on the street, he has something up his sleeve
To make work more tolerable
The only thing that no one takes is heroin, you know?
If they do, we kick 'em out
That's the thing, that's the thing that is really, really bad for you
Most, most people take–
Most people take things in moderation, you know?
Doorman Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "Doorman" by Mura Masa featuring slowthai portrays a night out filled with chaotic experiences, personal struggles, and social interactions, all tied together with a sense of disillusionment. The song captures the hedonistic lifestyle, the effects of substance use, and the complicated emotions that come with relationships and social encounters. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of slowthai's night, from dealing with bouncers and spending money to feeling rejected and misunderstood. The recurring theme of addiction, specifically to nicotine, symbolizes a broader struggle with dependency and the search for satisfaction in a seemingly indifferent world.
[Intro]
In the intro, slowthai sets the scene with a casual conversation about his day, emphasizing the mundanity of earning money and avoiding conflict. The abrupt shift to a threatening tone suggests an underlying tension and potential for violence, hinting at the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the night ahead.
[Verse 1]
The first verse describes a series of disjointed, almost surreal experiences. "Shoot the messenger, string 'em up" implies dealing with bad news harshly. The line "She's a 10 plus 10, not enough" reflects dissatisfaction even with an ideal partner. The mention of "mixed messages, wires crossed" captures the confusion and miscommunication in his relationships. The verse touches on personal vulnerability ("I pour my heart out, she laps up my blood") and the intense, overwhelming nature of his emotions ("Blue lights, double vision / Heart races like supercars"). This part of the song highlights the conflict between slowthai's desires and reality, his struggles with acceptance, and the intoxicating effects of both love and substances.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, slowthai repeatedly talks about his addiction to nicotine, using it as a metaphor for his broader dependencies and compulsions. The act of stubbing out a cigarette before he finishes, causing him to scream out in pain, symbolizes the abrupt and often painful interruptions in his pursuit of satisfaction and relief.
[Verse 2]
The second verse delves into the experiences at a club. The interaction with the doorman, who won't let him in after he has spent all his money, underscores the exclusion and frustration he feels. Inside the club, he faces more social challenges, including jealousy and conflict ("She's standin' with a guy / Guys your mans stare him out, real polite"). The reference to "beer goggles" signifies impaired judgment due to intoxication. The verse ends with a surreal image of an angel being carried out of the club, juxtaposed with slowthai's own feelings of being left out and waiting, highlighting his sense of isolation and longing.
[Outro]
In the outro, slowthai reflects on substance use, comparing different types of drugs and their social acceptance. The mention of glue-sniffing and cheap booze as common yet harmful choices contrasts with heroin, which is depicted as the ultimate taboo. This part of the song emphasizes the normalization of certain harmful behaviors and the social dynamics around drug use.
