Cool as Kim Deal
Cool as Kim Deal: Embracing Coolness Over Conformity
Lyrics
Hey.
Expression of attention or greeting.
There's nothing in my art.
The speaker feels their art lacks substance or depth.
I'd rather be cool than be smart.
Preference for being perceived as cool rather than intelligent.
Hey.
Reiteration of the greeting or attention.
What I'm thinking of.
Reference to the speaker's thoughts.
I'd rather be cool than be loved.
Preference for being cool over being loved.
Here's what I feel,
Introduction to the speaker's feelings.
Ba ba ba ba.
Expression of emotions represented by "Ba ba ba ba."
Just want a girl
Desire for a girl with specific qualities.
As cool as Kim Deal.
Desire for a girl as cool as Kim Deal, possibly an admired figure.
Hey.
Reiteration of the greeting or attention.
I thought that you were tough.
Thought that the addressed person was tough or resilient.
Well I've had it too, had it rough.
Acknowledgment of personal hardships and challenges.
Hey.
Reiteration of the greeting or attention.
I don't care if I'm wrong,
Expressing indifference to being wrong, valuing immediacy over correctness.
Cause right always takes too long.
Belief that being right takes too long.
Here's what I feel
Reiteration of the speaker's feelings represented by "Ba ba ba ba."
Ba ba ba ba
Desire for a girl with specific qualities.
Just want a girl
Desire for a girl as cool as Kim Deal, possibly an admired figure.
As cool as Kim Deal.
(End of the lyrics, possibly reiterating the desire for a cool girl.)
