Lyric of the Week


Artist: Travie McCoy
Song: Need You

Lyrics: I know its not your fault, but I’m a locked door/ And Inside I’m a mess by someone before/ And I wish that I, I could find a key/ To unlock all the things that you want us to be/ Let me open up and start again/ But there’s a safe around my heart/ I don’t know how to let you in/ And that’s what keeps us apart

Need You is probably my favorite Travie (aka Travis) McCoy song to date. I know everyone in the entire universe was in love with Billionaire but this song has a lot more depth, and shows his skill as a singer, and not just a rapper. I like these lyrics because I know guys who have been closed off or damaged by someone who has hurt them before (I also know plenty of girls like that too). This closure causes a lot of problems in the relationship, because it causes a person to be more cautious and less likely to be fully open and honest with their new partner. In this song Travie is trying to make his woman understand that he is actually trying, as he says later in the song: Call up the locksmith/ Tell him we need him quick/ We’ve got a million keys/ None of them seem to fit. In my opinion this song signifies progress. This guy is trying to get better for his current lady love, as opposed to just staying stagnant in the black hole that is left post a bad breakup. One has to ask the question, is this song about Katy Perry? This song is also super catchy and really easy to listen to. Good job on your newest super catchy album Lazarus Travie.

  1. my favorite line is call up the locksmith...but it also seems sad cause while hes trying he says that none of them seem to fit...

  2. Locksmiths perform a vital role for home security and peace of mind for families. A reliable locksmith comes in handy whether your house is secured with an alarm system or locks as they can assist with both systems.
