Childish Gambino Lyrics

Why go to the party?
Asking the reason for going to a party, questioning the need to go to a party

Why go to the party?
Asking the reason for going to a party, questioning the need to go to a party

Why go to the party at all?
Why attend a party when there seems to be no real reason to?

Two shots and a body
A situation where someone got shot and there's a dead body involved

Two shots and a body
A situation where someone got shot and there's a dead body involved

Two shots and a body involved
Describing a violent scenario where two shots were fired and now there's a dead body

Where are those subtle men?
Asking where those men who are tactful and considerate in their actions are

With the decency to might be wrong
Men who are mindful enough to acknowledge when they're wrong

Where are those winter girls?
Asking where those perceptive girls who are somewhat aloof and thoughtful are

Who corrected, say women
Those who spoke up and pointed out what was incorrect, who happened to be women

I'm sorry
An apology

Forgiven
Someone acknowledging and accepting an apology

Why would we ever change?
Questioning why people feel the need to change when things around them change too

Planets never see a day that isn't towards the Sun
The perpetual phenomenon of planets revolving around the Sun is an example of a constant in life

Bliss is a cheap emotion
The feeling of happiness is fleeting and not substantial

Everyone here seems to afford
People seem to have the capacity to feel pleasure

So I don't know why I'm here without you, you
The absence of someone makes a situation appear pointless

Why go to the party?
Asking the reason for going to a party, questioning the need to go to a party

Why go to the party?
Asking the reason for going to a party, questioning the need to go to a party

Why go to the party at all?
Why attend a party when there seems to be no real reason to?

When you're not invited
Being uninvited to an event

You take what you're given
One accepts whatever opportunities that present themselves

Some wait everyday for the call
Waiting for a specific call or opportunity every day

Grief is a standing ocean
Grieving is a never-ending and overwhelming emotion

And I never swam unless you did
The subject has never experienced the emotion of grief until the other person showed them how to

So I don't know why I'm here without you
Being present somewhere or doing something without someone feels pointless

I miss you
The feeling of longing or missing someone

Why go to the party?
Asking the reason for going to a party, questioning the need to go to a party

Why go to the party?
Asking the reason for going to a party, questioning the need to go to a party

Why go to the party at all? (You)
The feeling of going to a party being meaningless when the other person is not there with you

I call to a spirit
A moment where someone tries to communicate with the spirit of another person

You may never hear it
The possibility of the other person not responding or reacting to the previous statement

How else could I keep you alive? Alive
The need to feel that the other person is still present, even after their death

'Cause it's hard for me to love myself without you here
The subject finds it difficult to love or accept themselves after the loss of the other person

'Cause the days are slow but the years are fast
Days seem to drag on forever, but time seems to be quickly passing by

I wonder when I'll feel your smile
The subject is still waiting for a moment when they'll feel the other person's presence or influence
