This Blog intends to discuss songs in their deepest truths with accordance to the understanding of the blogger with adjacence to the author. This blog also aims to open minds to the greater meaning of music which is the lyrics....
This song is about a girl who met this foreign guy online, and then fell in love with him. She experienced things with him that she has never even thought would happen to her and made her want to leave everything she has in her country, just to be with him.
Reading beyond the lines
This song is about loving someone who people think is out of your league. But you love that someone so much that you are willing to lose everything that you have and don't mind everything that people say about that person because you know that you love that person. And you're sure that that person loves you too. And you feel like everything is magical,mystical and very out of this world. That is how you feel when you're really in love, when the words and adjectives in the world cannot describe how it feels like.
Being in LOVE with someone is light years away from being in a relationship with someone.
The song is a dream(a daydream) of a girl who wants to find a sensible man who'll respect her, accept her downs and love her ups. A man who loves her no matter how she looks. The man she'll introduce to her family. And she's picturing her crush(possibly a jock-like in the video) to be that one.
Peacocking is a male move to dress up to drag attention from a mate, like when male peacocks look for female mates.
I
"I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock Your peacock, cock Your peacock, cock, cock Your peacock ,cock"
Verse 1: [Peacock- a bird known for it's beautiful fan-like tail that it uses to find a mate/partner
cock-(cocky) a description for an overly confident person]
- This verse (for me) means that a she is invoking him to make a move on her, show her a bit of cockiness/confidence. Show her that you're interested in her.
II "Word on the street You got something to show me, me Magical, colorful, Mr. Mystery I'm intrigued for a peek Heard it's fascinating"
(Line 1,2) She's heard that he's got a "thing" for her.
(Line 3) [magical. colorful- Love can't be described with words, in the further part of the song you'll see a lot of words that somehow (for her) describes the beauty of love
Mr. Mystery- he's being so mysterious about it and he ain't telling her anything
(Line 4,5) [intrigued for a peek- she wants him to make a move to show her that he's in to her/or she wants to know what it is to love because she's heard it's fascinating to be in love]
III Come on, baby; let me see What you hiding underneath I want the jaw dropping, eye popping Head turning, body shocking I want my heart throbbing Ground shaking, shoe stomping, amazing
(Line 3) Jaw dropping- thing that makes her speechless
eye popping- something she couldn't perceive to happen but happened
(Line 4) Head turning- she herself couldn't believe it that her head turns in disbelief
Body shocking- Her whole being was shocked.
(Line 5) She wants to know what it feels like to be in love with someone so strong ,that when you're near that person you suddenly get all nervous.
(Line 6)Ground Shaking- your whole world is shaken by hi presence
Shoe Stomping- and when he's passed, she'll regret that she didn't say a thing to him.
IV "Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock? Don't be a chicken Boy, stop acting like a beeotch I'mma peace out if you don't give me the payoff Come on, baby; let me see What you hidin' underneath"
(Line 1,2) She's asking him but more on pushing him to make a move on her.
(Line 3) Now, she's just plain angry at him for not making a move in her.
(Line 4) She's sort of black mailing him that she leave if he doesn't do what she wants.
(Line 5,6) Then she's pleading again.
V "Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock? What you waiting for? It's time for you to show it off Don't be a shy kind of guy I bet it's beautiful Come on, baby; let me see What you hidin' underneath"
(Line 2,3) She's telling that this is the perfect time for him to tell her he loves her.
(Line 4,5) Stop being all shy/ stop hiding what you really feel for her, because she knows it's(Love/his feelings for her) is beautiful.
VI "Skip the talk Heard it all Time to walk the walk Break me off If you're bad, show me who's the boss Need some Goose to get loose Come on; take a shot"
(Line 1,2) Stop justifying your shyness
(Line 3) It's time for him to do what he needs to do.
(Line 4,5) Break me off-shut me up
Show me who's the boss- impress me with your manliness/show me your superiority
(Line 6,7) [Goose-silly] Do you need a drink to release your silliness?If you do, then let's.
VII "Oh my god No exaggeration Boy, all this time was worth the waiting I just shed a tear I am so unprepared You got the finest architecture And the rainbow-looking treasure's Such a sight to see And it's all for me"
(Line 1,2,3) She's very happy that he finally did it.
(Line 4,5) She almost cried, and as expected, she was shocked.
(Line 6) Its an Apostrophe. She's talking to Love, and telling that being in love is so beautiful.
(Line 7,8) Love is a treasure that made her life so colorful.
(Line 9) And she finally had it. She has finally fallen in love.
