Lyrics
Hey now, call it a split because you know that you will
Expressing the end of a relationship or separation.
Oh, you bite your friend like chocolate
Metaphorically describing a bite or betrayal similar to the sweetness of chocolate.
You say that we'll go where nobody knows
Planning to go to an unknown place with an air of secrecy.
With guns hidden under our petticoat
Suggesting hidden danger or a rebellious act with concealed weapons.
No, we're never gonna quit it, no we're never gonna quit it, no
Commitment to persist and not give up on the chosen path.
Now we run, run away from the boys in the blue
Escaping from authority figures represented by "boys in the blue."
And my car smells like chocolate
A sensory detail indicating a pleasurable atmosphere.
Hey now, think about what to do
Contemplation and manipulation of time, reflecting indecision or uncertainty.
Think about what to say
-Think about how to think
-Pause it, play it, pause it, play it, pause it
-Oh, we go where nobody knows
Reiteration of the secretive journey with hidden guns and determination not to quit.
With guns hidden under our petticoat
-And we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
-Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
-We got guns hidden under our petticoat
-No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
-Now you're never gonna quit it
Emphasis on the persistence and difficulty of quitting, possibly related to a habit.
Now you're never gonna quit it
-Now you're never gonna quit it
-If you don't stop smokin' it
Warning against continued behavior (smoking) and potential consequences.
That's what she said
-She said we're dressed in black, head to toe
-With guns hidden under our petticoat
-And we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
-Hey now, we're buildin' up speed as we're approachin' the hill
Acceleration towards a challenge or obstacle represented by the hill.
(Approachin' the hill, approachin' the hill)
-Oh, my hair smells like chocolate
A playful sensory detail, hair smelling like chocolate.
Hey now, you say you're gonna quit it, but you're never gonna quit it
Skepticism about someone's commitment, urging them to act and be cool.
Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, go
-And play it cool
-Oh, you said we go where nobody knows
Reiteration of the commitment to secrecy, danger, and persistence.
With guns hidden under our petticoat
-No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
