Homeboy
Unraveling the Softboy: Embracing Independence in 'Homeboy'
Lyrics
i'll leave you alone
I will give you space and distance.
but not for long
But the separation won't last forever.
my sweet little homeboy
Referring affectionately to the person as a close friend or companion.
you keep me on the hook, like your toy
You have control over me, treating me like a toy.
i'm done feeling sorry for you, softboy
I refuse to feel pity for you, especially if you're overly sensitive.
i won't wait around no no
I won't linger or remain in anticipation.
i won't wait around no
Emphasizing the decision not to wait around.
i won't wait around no no
Reiterating the determination not to wait.
i won't wait around no
Expressing a firm decision not to wait.
i won't wait around no no
Asserting the refusal to wait around.
i won't wait around no
Repeating the refusal to wait.
i won't wait around
Underscoring the commitment not to wait any longer.
oh maybe for a little while
Perhaps willing to wait for a short period.
worry about the world all day
Concerns about global issues occupy thoughts throughout the day.
anxiously safe in your little cocoon
Feeling safe but confined in a protective environment.
what are you up to today
Inquiring about the other person's activities for the day.
won't you give me a kiss, softboy
Requesting affection in the form of a kiss, addressing the person as sensitive.
see me with your friends flirting away
Observing the person flirt with others in a social setting.
we could've had some fun but you chose
Expressing disappointment about the chosen path or behavior.
this way
Reflecting on the consequences of the person's choices.
worry about the world all day
Repetition of concerns about global issues and constant worrying.
anxiously safe in your little cocoon
Reiterating the feeling of safety within a confined space.
what are you up to today
Asking about the person's plans for the day, possibly seeking connection.
won't you give me a kiss, homeboy
Requesting a kiss, now addressing the person as "homeboy."
i won't wait around no no
Reaffirming the decision not to wait.
stare into the moon and see my face
Gazing at the moon and contemplating departure.
i'll soon be gone without a trace
Anticipating a disappearance without leaving a trace.
