Tennis Court Lyrics

Don't you think that it's boring how people talk?
Making smart with their words again, well, I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Never not chasing a million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me (yeah)

Baby, be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)

Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's filling up fast with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I fuck with the fun again when I'm known?
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne
But I know it's not forever (yeah)

Baby, be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)

It looked alright in the pictures (yeah)
Getting caught's half of the trip, though, isn't it? (Yeah)
I fall apart, with all my heart (yeah)
And you can watch from your window (yeah)
And you can watch from your window

Baby, be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)

And talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)
And talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)
And talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)
And talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like, "Yeah" (yeah)

What is the Meaning of Tennis Court?

This piece is a poignant critique of the superficiality and pretentiousness prevalent in today's society, particularly among the youth. The artist portrays herself as a non-conformist who seeks genuine experiences and emotions amidst an environment consumed by materialism and artificiality. She contrasts her authentic pursuit of thrill with the mundane chatter of people around her. The repeated reference to 'the tennis court' symbolizes a place for honest conversation, away from societal pretenses. The lyrics also hint at the fleeting nature of fame and success, reminding listeners that such glory is not eternal. Ultimately, this song serves as a powerful commentary on the paradoxical loneliness and emptiness that can accompany popularity and material wealth. #Authenticity #SocialCritique
