Lyrics

Hey you!

Expression of addressing someone

We're not sorry

Confident statement expressing lack of remorse

That our light

Reference to their own light or positive energy

Blinds you

Acknowledgment of others being affected by their positivity

Remember the time

Nostalgia for a past time

When you used to blind us

Recalling a time when the addressed person influenced negatively

With your gloom

Describing the negative influence as "gloom"

But we are free now

Declaration of freedom from the negative influence


We can sing out of tune

Embracing the freedom to sing without adherence to conventional norms

We can dance with no rhythm

Celebrating the freedom to dance without conforming to rhythm

We can play with no rules

Asserting the ability to play without being bound by rules

We can laugh for no reason

Expressing the freedom to laugh without a specific reason

We can wear black leather in the sun

Imagery of unconventional behavior, wearing black leather in the sun

We can wear sunglasses in the rain

Further unconventional imagery, wearing sunglasses in the rain

We can do anything we want

Declaration of the broad freedom to do anything they want

Fuck yeah, we can!

Emphatic affirmation of their freedom


Hey you!

Repetition of addressing someone

You think you're special

Challenging the perceived specialness of the addressed person

The brightest star

Describing the addressed person as a bright star

But here's the truth, man

Revelation of the truth about the addressed person

You're just a black hole

Metaphorically portraying the addressed person as a negative force

Sucking the joy

Depiction of the addressed person draining joy from others

Out of everyone

Indication of the impact on those encountered by the addressed person

You encounter

Empty line, possibly for emphasis or pacing


We can sing out of tune

Reiteration of the freedom to dance without adhering to rhythm

We can dance with no rhythm

Reiteration of the freedom to play without being bound by rules

We can play with no rules

Reiteration of the freedom to laugh without a specific reason

We can laugh for no reason

Reiteration of unconventional imagery, wearing black leather in the sun

We can wear black leather in the sun

Reiteration of unconventional imagery, wearing sunglasses in the rain

We can wear sunglasses in the rain

Repetition of the declaration of the broad freedom to do anything

We can do anything we want

Emphatic affirmation of their freedom

Fuck yeah, we can!

Emphatic affirmation and expression of confidence


We can sing out of tune

Repetition of the freedom to sing out of tune

We can dance with no rhythm

Repetition of the freedom to dance without adhering to rhythm

We can play with no rules

Repetition of the freedom to play without being bound by rules

We can laugh for no reason

Repetition of the freedom to laugh without a specific reason

We can wear black leather in the sun

Repetition of unconventional imagery, wearing black leather in the sun

We can wear sunglasses in the rain

Repetition of unconventional imagery, wearing sunglasses in the rain

We can do anything we want

Repetition of the declaration of the broad freedom to do anything

Fuck yeah, we can!

Emphatic affirmation and expression of confidence
