LETRA
Add It Up
Day after day
I will walk and I will play
But the day after today
I will stop and I will start
Why can't I get just one kiss
Why can't I get just one kiss
Believe me, there'd be somethings that I wouldn't miss
But I look at your pants and I need a kiss
Why can't I get just one screw
Why can't I get just one screw
Believe me, I know what to do
But something won't let me make love to you
Why can't I get just one fuck
Why can't I get just one fuck
I guess it got something to do with luck
But I waited my whole life for just one
Day after day
I get angry and I will say
That the day is in my sight
When I'll take a bow and say goodnight
Oh, ma-mama, mama-mo-ma-mum
Have you kept your eye, your eye on your son?
I know you've had problems, you're not the only one
When your sugar left, he left you on the run
Oh, ma-mama, mama-mo-ma-mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done
He's walking around like he's number one
Went downtown and you got him a gun
So don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
You know you've got my sympathy
But don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
You know you've got my sympathy
But don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Broken down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs?
Share a smoke, make a joke
Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
Words to memorize, words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all failed the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
Oh, ma-mama, mo-ma, mo-my mother
I would love to love you, lover
City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Oh, here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
Say, ma-mama, mo-ma, mo-my mother
I would love to love you, lover
City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Oh, here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
I've given you a decision to make
Things to lose, things to take
Just as she's about ready to cut it up
She says, \"wait a minute, honey, I'm gonna add it up!\"
Add it up! Add it up! Add it up! Add it up!
Add it up! Add it up! Add it up! Add it up!
Day after day, I get angry and I will say
That the day is in my sight
When I'll take a bow and say goodnight
Significado de la letra
La canción 'Add It Up' de Violent Femmes es una reflexión profunda sobre la frustración, el deseo y las complejidades de las relaciones humanas. Con una mezcla de inquietud y deseo, el cantante anhela un beso, una conexión íntima que parece inalcanzable. A medida que la canción avanza, la frustración crece, expresada a través de la necesidad de un encuentro físico y emocional que nunca parece concretarse.
La figura materna también aparece en la canción, como una presencia que observa y juzga las acciones del hijo, mientras este lucha con sus propios conflictos internos. La letra evoca una sensación de inquietud y desasosiego, con imágenes vívidas que pintan un retrato de desconcierto y ansiedad.
A medida que la canción llega a su clímax, se revela una tensión palpable, culminando en un momento de decisión crucial. La intensidad emocional se fusiona con la urgencia de tomar una determinación, simbolizada por la necesidad de 'sumar' todas las experiencias y emociones vividas.
En última instancia, 'Add It Up' es una exploración profunda de las complejidades de la vida, el deseo y las relaciones humanas, encapsulada en una atmósfera de inquietud, pasión y lucha interna. La canción invita a reflexionar sobre nuestros propios anhelos, frustraciones y la naturaleza misma de nuestras interacciones con los demás.
