Do Yourself A Favor
A Flavorful Tapestry of Self-Discovery: Do Yourself A Favor by Ariel Pink
Lyrics
Got your favorite cassette in my pocket
Carrying your favorite cassette in my pocket.
It's blank IOU
The cassette is a blank IOU, implying a debt or unfulfilled promise.
So do yourself a favor and taste a new flavor
Encouraging self-indulgence by trying something new.
It smells like sage and thyme
Describing the new flavor with the scents of sage and thyme.
So do yourself a favor and have a toast on mine
Suggesting to enjoy a drink on the speaker's behalf.
I can roast you any time
Expressing a willingness to criticize/mock at any time.
But pop goes the weasel
Reference to the unpredictability or unexpected events (pop goes the weasel).
Bobbys my best friend and I'm the best dressed
Introducing a friend named Bobby, claiming to be best dressed.
And I'm not that sorry cause I never came out
Unapologetic about not conforming to societal expectations (never came out).
Let's keep what happened between us
Suggesting secrecy or confidentiality about an unspecified event.
And you know that I love you
Expressing love towards someone.
So do us both a favor and delete this conversation
Requesting to delete a conversation for mutual benefit, implying it's not positive.
It's not flattering or kind
Indicating the conversation is unflattering and unkind.
So do yourself a favor and seek and you shall find
Advising the listener to seek, promising they'll be pursued or desired.
They'll chase you everytime
Suggesting that others will pursue the listener.
But pop goes the weasel
Repetition of "pop goes the weasel," emphasizing unpredictability.
Bobbys my best friend and I'm the best dressed
Reiteration of Bobby being the best friend and the speaker being well-dressed.
And I'm not that sorry cause I never came out
Reiteration of the speaker not conforming to societal expectations (never came out).
But pop goes the weasel
Repetition of "pop goes the weasel," reinforcing unpredictability.
Bobbys my best man and I'm the best dressed
Reiteration of Bobby being the best man and the speaker being well-dressed.
And I'm not that sorry cause I never came out
Reiteration of the speaker not conforming to societal expectations (never came out).
