Interpreting "She Said"

So my mother is very particular about what I listen to. Obviously, she doesn’t want me to listen to things that will inspire me to do drugs, drink, go clubbing, or worse. I always assure her she’s got nothing to worry about, but I really want her to believe me. So I took my most played song on iTunes, “She Said” by Stephen Jerzak, and analyzed the lyrics she has nothing to worry about.


Song Analysis
I grabbed a non-alcoholic beverage, because I am underage; Oh we’re in a club.
This girl is totally putting up a front–seemingly good, but has potential to do bad.
She’s attractive, but she’s bonkers.
I lie and say “You’re cool.”
I know girls like her; they are nuts.
Obviously, I’m not the only liar, since she’s not honest either.
People tell her she’s pretty and it makes her feel good; so I just go with it.
This girl is asking to dance closer.
And she thinks I want her to.
Clearly you are stupid if you think the bat of a lash will make me want your nasty self.
She said/spoke “Do you love me?” I wonder why she’s asking me this. “Tell me something.”
Girl, tell me why you’re making a fool of yourself. She says she has a secret. A secret hiding place.
But chica, understand, you’re not worth it.
Ok, so I may be in a club, but I like to think and the strobe lights distract me.
Now this girl is touching me and telling me we’re a perfect match.
The dudes are saying she’s super popular.
So I’ll lie and say she’s pretty again, because she is too dumb to remember .
This girl is asking to dance closer, again
And she still thinks I want her to.
Please stop winking; it looks like you have a twitch
She said/spoke “Do you love me?” I wonder why she’s asking me this. “Tell me something.”
Girl, tell me why you’re making a fool of yourself. She says she has a secret. A secret hiding place.
But you’re not worth it.
She’s looking at me; but she doesn’t see that there are other fish in the sea–for both of us.
There are too many potential people to settle for her.
She blows kisses, but I’m 5’7”–aim lower.
Sorry, girl, too many other people.
She continues to whine, “Do you love me?” Stop asking this question. “Tell me something.”
Girl, tell me why you’re making a fool of yourself. She’s trying to take me to her secret place.
But chica, understand, you’re not worth it.
OHHH (snap)!
See? Nothing to worry about. This song is clearly advertising chasteness, as Stephen would not settle on dancing with just any girl. It also shows how unappealing it is to a man when a girl is all over him and asking him life-altering questions. So , this song is not only dubstepping greatness, but quite educational. And the lesson learned is, don’t act sketchy in a club. Or have secret hiding places. It’s just creepy. Oh, and dubstep=life. Remember that, kiddos.
