Trespassing Interpreted…Continued
Hi!
As an original Glambert, I’m continuing to write about the songs from my favorite album A.T.M. called “Trespassing” by Adam Lambert!
The next song is called “Cuckoo”. I consider this the anthem for us Glamberts! LOL Again, remember this is MY interpretation… if you have a thought, def give me a shout!
What Adam said about this song: “Yeah that’s right I’m nuts. But damn it’s fun. You coming along for the ride?
Verse
Feels like I’m having a meltdown
Feels like I’m losing control
They tell me I’m a danger to myself
Now the crazy train is ready to roll
I know I’m crazy, but LET’S HAVE FUN!
Chorus 1
Walk that walk like you don’t give a fuck
I LOVE this line. You could really take it anywhere as your mantra. Don’t let anyone bring you down. Be FIERCE!
You got a right to turn it up and get down
Electric shock, no I can’t get enough
Cause tonight we’re taking over the town
You have a basic rite to have fun and experience different things… do what you do, be yourself, and LET’S PARTY!
Chorus 2
I wanna lose my mind like a maniac
And cross the line never looking back
We’re on the loose
Getting crazy and we’ve gone cuckoo
Gonna party till they take us away
I want to go crazy and have no regrets. We’re here to party FOREVER!
Verse
I’m swinging off of my hinges
I’m cocked and I’m ready to go
I’m psyched, I’m ready…
Go on and pack up your thingses
The crazy train is ready to roll, oh
… So are you coming along for the fun??!!!
Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2
Gotta get out of this straight jacket, whoa
Cuckoo!
Gotta get out of this straight jacket, whoa yeah
Throw all the rules out of the window!! LET’S GO!
Repeat Chorus 2
Trespassing
Hey!
As an original Glambert, I think I’m going to write about each song from my favorite album A.T.M. called Trespassing by of course, Adam Lambert! Not all is one post, obvs HA!
For those who don’t know, Trespassing is divided into two parts. The first part is light, upbeat, and celebratory and the 2nd half is darker and provokes thought. The album is AMAZING and I can’t wait to see its continued success. And, of course, it debuted at #1!
Keep in mind this is MY interpretation… HOWEVER if you have a thought, feel free to comment!! :-) That’s the beauty of music. Everyone feels it differently. All interpretations are welcome!
One thing to remember is that I never interpret a song as autobiographical to the artist. Of course it can be derived from the artists’ personal experience, but the interpretation of the song as a whole should be applied as the listener hears it.
The first song is the title track “Trespassing”. What Adam said about this song: “Not following any of these lame ass rules. Look out, bitches!”
Chorus 1
Well I was walking for some time
When I came across this sign
Saying “Who are you and where are you from?”
We don’t like when visitors come
This could be where one has worked hard to get to the top of their game; doing something against the grain. Then come the critics and people already established in said game saying “No. That’s not how we do it. What the fuck are you doing here? There’s no room for new people.”
“No Trespassing” that’s what it said
At least that’s what I could read
The person is accepting that people are telling him/her “No” or to change but…
No Trespassing? Yeah, my ass!
Wait till ya get a load of me!
The person saying “Oh yeah? Fuck that! Watch me do my thing!” As you can see, this is very much a rebellious song.
Verse
One day I was trippin’ and that’s when I could see
That the ether I tapped into could be reality
Ether is defined as cosmic or heavenly. This seems to be a moment where one realizes that their big, crazy dreams are attainable.
It was great, that’s when I climbed that optimistic vine
Once I hit that mountain peak I began to lose my mind
One is doing their own thing, on their own terms, and once that person is successful, people are coming in every direction and saying “No” and “That’s not right”
Chorus 2
I don’t need no sympathy
I won’t cry and whine
Don’t feel sorry for me, I’m not regretting anything by doing this the way I want
Life’s my light and liberty
And I shine when I wanna shine
Anything goes. I do what I want!
Make their faces crack
There’s no turnin back
Let’s GO!
One is telling them self to JUST DO IT!!! Make them look like asses for telling you how to do something and then you’re successful at it. YOU GOT THIS!
Repeat Chorus 1
Verse
I ain’t got BS in my bag
That’s the one thing you can believe
Everything I do is real and from the heart. I’m not here to fuck stuff up.
My heart is gold, my body is glass
Come on baby, can’t you see?
Even though I’m different and doing this differently, I’m still a good person
I don’t need no GPS
To show me where to go
I don’t need people telling what to do or what to say.
But I can turn into the north pole
And show you what is cold
I’m a nice person and I could take a lot, but, at the end of the day, DON’T fuck with me.
Repeat Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge
I ain’t stayin’ at home
I got places to roll
I ain’t stayin’ at home
No no no
I can’t sit still, I got to do this whatever ANYONE says and do it MY WAY.
Repeat Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 1
Closing today of one of my favorite shows! Going to miss this one something fierce! (Taken with Instagram)
