Another 10 song lyrics that really mean something

lyrics that make no sense

I think this is just going to be my new hobby: spotting song lyrics that really make no sense. And I secretly think this could very well become a long series, because there are seriously quite a few. From rappers to rock stars or big pop stars: they all have a few lines in their songs that leave me astonished. Just check the ones below and yes, this is really sung in the songs.

1. ‘I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier’ (The Killers – All These Things I’ve Done)
Wait, what? What on earth do these two things have to do with each other?

2. ‘What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?’ (Michael Jackson – Earth Song)
Beautiful song, beautiful music video, strange lyrics. I can honestly say that this thought has never crossed my mind but to be very honest: yes. I think the elephants have little trust in us as humanity.

3. ‘Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad’ (Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe)
How does this work exactly? Seems terrible to miss someone so much that you don't even know yet. It's a strange feeling too.

4. ‘I am the eggman, they are the eggman, I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob’ (The Beatles – I Am The Walrus)
All members of The Beatles were completely under the influence of drugs, alcohol, and everything they could find, and you can't convince me otherwise.

5. ‘Young Black, and famous, with money hangin’ out the anus’ (P Diddy – Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down)
A very special way to throw around your money, but to each their own.

6. ‘Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, Saturday, Saturday and Sunday’ (Black Eyed Peas – I Got A Feeling)
We also learn that the week for Fergie & co consists of eight days, because: two Saturdays. Sounds pretty good, actually.

7. ‘And I met a girl, she asked me my name, I told her what it was’ (Razorlight – Somewhere Else)
What. A. Storyteller. I'm hanging on your every word.

8. ‘Tom bo li de se de moi ya, yeah jambo jambo’ (Lionel Richie – All Night Long)
If you ever wondered if it means anything that you're singing along: no. Absolutely not. Richie himself called it a ‘wonderful joke’.

9. ‘His dick smaller than my toes, I’d rather ride Squidward nose’ (Cupcakke – Squidward Nose)
You're welcome, now you can never look at Spongebob normally again.

10. ‘Bitch, I can make orange rhyme with banana — yeah, oranana’ (Eminem – Tone Deaf)
Yeah sorry, there had to be something from Eminem in this list again. The more lyrics I read from him, the more I feel like something's not quite right with him.
