Rude

In 'Rude,' B.Miles delves into the complexities of personal flaws and the yearning for acceptance despite them. The song opens with an acknowledgment of past mistakes and the impossibility of erasing them. The metaphor of 'cleaning dirt from my paragraphs' suggests an attempt to rewrite or cleanse one's history, but the effort is met with resistance and fear. This sets the stage for a plea for understanding and acceptance, even if it means sacrificing one's own happiness for the sake of maintaining a facade or 'charades.'

The chorus, repeating the line 'I don't wanna be rude, but can't you give me what I'm asking for,' underscores a desperate need for something that remains unfulfilled. This repetition highlights the frustration and the cyclical nature of the request, suggesting that the speaker feels unheard or misunderstood. The imagery of 'shampoo and sweat' and 'soaking my nerves in wine' paints a vivid picture of anxiety and the struggle to maintain composure. The comparison to 'a bull in a china shop' further emphasizes the speaker's difficulty in controlling their actions and emotions.

The song also touches on themes of loyalty and endurance. The line 'You may be the only one that chose to stay' suggests a rare and valuable connection, despite the speaker's self-described flaws as a 'fucking headcase.' The closing lines, 'Not looking for symphony or sin, or just a night to call a memory,' indicate a desire for something deeper and more meaningful than fleeting pleasures or superficial connections. 'Rude' is a raw and honest exploration of the human need for understanding, acceptance, and the struggle to reconcile one's past with the present.
