Songtext van de week #2
Self Esteem – Offspring
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practice all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I’m being used
That’s okay man cause I like the abuse
I know she’s playing with me
That’s okay cause I got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejections got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her no
When she’s saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she’s saying that I’m like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should speak up for myself
But I really think it’s better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? yeah yeah yeah
Now I’ll relate this little bit
That happens more than Id like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that’s kind of hard when she’s ready to go
I may be dumb
But I’m not a dweeb
Im just a sucker with no self esteem

Op dit nummer pleegde ik wild tegen anderen te gaan aanspringen in smodsige kroegjes in Leeuwarden en omstreken.

Jaaaa, dit was een ultiem springnummer in die goeie oude tijd. Tegenwoordig irriteer ik me aan het ‘lalala’ gedeelte uit dit nummer (althans wanneer ik nuchter ben). 🙂
Maar de tekst van het nummer blijft geweldig, heerlijke zelfspot, en dat is het ingredient dat de Offspring groot maakte. (let wel dit is een mening, dus er mag gediscussieerd worden 🙂
