Feeling inspired by the amazing commenters’ and contributions I got on my ‘Everyone Nose’ song lyrics post, I have decided to post the lyrics to N.E.R.D.’s second single ‘Spaz‘ [Website - TheLostGirl’s Blog].
I know I am a little late to the party on this one, but I am only recently inspired by some very bright and interesting people such as jwillisjr and Steeze leaving comments on what they though certain N.E.R.D. lyrics are about.
See the below for full lyrics and let me know if you think any words are missing or wrong. I interpret the lyrics to be about finding ways to relax and blow off steam after working hard. I see an importance placed on perception, misplaced and passive aggression and lastly there is a definite release of energy and communication some kind of pent up frustration.
The lyrics are truly dense and littered with metaphors.
Thoughts?
UPDATE 25 JUNE 2008 N.E.R.D. ‘Seeing Sounds’ ALL Lyrics Off Album [& Song Interpretation Discussion Forum]
[Verse 1: Pharrell]
Hey…
Now I’m a little teapot short and stout
This is shake-up in around me know’s talk, and no doubt
I pop the lid the lid, its gonna be me I’m gonna let it out
Nothin’ will happen if I don’t open my mouth
I ain’t a punk bitch, I don’t give a fuck
I’m just bein’ me and speakin’ from the gut
Well its a little bit of us, and a whole lot of you,
and we just came here to see what it do…
[Chorus]
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so…
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
[Verse 2: Shae]
Now I’m a little teapot blowin’ off steam
You put me on the heat, I don’t whistle I scream
Bad, bad, like a bad fuckin’ dream
This is rage blowin’ up your machine
I’m a star bitch, I don’t give a fuck
Don’t be surprised when this bitch starts blowin’ up
Well its a little bit of us, and a whole lot of you,
and we just came here to see what it do…
[Chorus]
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so…
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
[Pharrell]
Wakin’ up layin’ in the ambulance bed
With somethin’ in my arm, I gotta get it off
A tattoo with a line that will read your mind
And next is your mind, I gotta get it off
The shit they spread attack my lungs everyday
With a creeping decay, I gotta get it off
By attacking these things, I earn my wings
And my halo but first I gotta, get it off
[Chorus]
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so…
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
[Chorus]
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I’m right here, and I ain’t goin’ nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so…
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spaz-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
