I Wouldn't Be Caught Dead Around Here
Pathetic and Underrated: Unveiling the Originality in 'I Wouldn't Be Caught Dead Around Here'
Lyrics
Well I know better than to stay around here
The speaker is aware it's wiser to leave this place.
And you know much more than to stay where you are
Addressing someone else, acknowledging their awareness that staying in their current situation isn't ideal.
Well it's so pathetic and it's underrated
Describing something as both pitiful and undervalued.
And it's so pathetic and it's underrated
Repetition emphasizing the pitiful and underestimated nature of the situation, followed by a claim of its originality.
And it's so pathetic and it's underrated
-And it's so, so original
-So original
Reaffirmation of the preceding statement's originality.
Well you know
Transitioning to a different perspective or addressing someone directly.
This must be the end for the both of us
Suggesting that this situation marks the end for both parties involved.
At least without you
Expressing a sense of incompleteness without the other person.
And I could swear I saw your face
Recollection of seeing the other person's face somewhere unexpected.
Waiting for me in the back of black van
Imagining seeing the person's face in a potentially threatening situation, in the back of a black van.
With the face of a dead man, maybe
Suggesting that the face seen resembles that of a deceased person.
It's so pathetic and it's underrated
Repetition emphasizing the pitiful and underestimated nature of the situation, followed by a claim of its originality.
And it's so pathetic and it's underrated
-And it's so pathetic and it's underrated
-And it's so, so original
Reasserting the previous claim of the situation's originality.
So original
Reiteration of the assertion about the situation's originality.
(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Vocal sounds, possibly meant to convey emotion or a musical interlude without specific lyrical meaning.
Aah (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
-Aah
-Pa pa pa da, pa pa pa da pa
-Pa pa pa da, pa pa pa da pa
-Pa pa pa da, pa pa pa da pa
-Pa pa pa da, pa pa pa da da da da
Continuation of the vocal sounds, potentially concluding the musical piece.
