      Truly is disturbing. To be fair that’s because most of us know the lyrics. If a person who had no clue of nin or this song heard this they probably wouldn’t find it disturbing. We do, because we know what’s up with this song.

      You absolutely just put that into words. It captures so many emotions that aren’t really talked about day to day and I love that about this song. I think that’s why it sticks with folks? Is the mix of messy emotions and really does get that feeling across.

      I remember when the music video came out on MTV, they had to censor a few scenes. But instead of doing a mosaic censor or something, they made a "scene missing" title card in the same style as the other cards in the video. Combined with the rest of the unsettling imagery, the "scene missing" leaves it completely up to your imagination. And it was an amazing creative touch.

    You're insecure, don't know what for
    You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or
    Don't need make-up to cover up
    Being the way that you are is enou-ou-ough
    Everyone else in the room can see it
    Everyone else, but you, ooh
    Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
    The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

    You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh
    That's what makes you beautiful
    So c-come on, you got it wrong
    To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
    I don't know why you're being shy
    And turn away when I look into your eye-eye-eyes
    Everyone else in the room can see it
    Everyone else, but you, ooh
    Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
    The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

    Lyrics:
    You would not believe your eyes
    If ten million fireflies
    Lit up the world as I fell asleep
    'Cause they fill the open air
    And leave teardrops everywhere
    You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems
    'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
    From ten thousand lightning bugs
    As they tried to teach me how to dance
    A foxtrot above my head
    A sock hop beneath my bed
    A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems (When I fall asleep)
    Leave my door open just a crack
    (Please take me away from here)
    'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
    (Please take me away from here)
    Why do I tire of counting sheep
    (Please take me away from here)
    When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
    To ten million fireflies
    I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
    I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
    But I'll know where several are
    If my dreams get real bizarre
    'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems (When I fall asleep)
    I'd like to make myself believe
    That planet Earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    Because mouth dreams are bursting at the seams

    i hate how much this song is boiled down to being a sex song when sure you could see the music and lyrics at face value but there's no way that you *can't* hear the disturbing and dark tones of the song within both instrumental and lyrics. this song, for me, captures the most complex and many-layered emotions and obsessive behaviors i can understand or comprehend. there is so much more to this song than just a "sex song" that's really only valued for the chorus. trent is so good at capturing intense emotions in his music

    Lyrics:
    This one is for the boys with the booming system
    Top down, AC with the cooler system
    When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up
    Got stacks on deck like he savin' up
    And he ill, he real, he might gotta deal
    He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build
    He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
    He always in the air, but he never fly coach
    He a motherfuckin' trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
    When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
    That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
    And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin' ho
    I said, excuse me you're a hell of a guy
    I mean my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly
    I mean, you're so shy and I'm loving your tie
    You're like slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye, oh
    Yes I did, yes I did
    Somebody please tell him who the eff I is
    I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up
    Back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up
    Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
    Beating like a drum and it's coming your way

    This one is for the boys in the Polos
    Entrepreneur n*ggas and the moguls
    He could ball with the crew, he could solo
    But I think I like him better when he dolo
    And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
    He ain't even gotta try to put the mack on
    He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
    Then the panties comin' off, off, uh
    Excuse me, you're a hell of a guy you know
    I really got a thing for American guys
