Here's What Ariana Grande's "Side to Side" Lyrics Really Mean (Warning: Profane)

When Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj teamed up, their resulting single Side to Side shot right to the top of the charts! And it's easy to see why; the song is catchy, it's sexy, and it's got an energetic, bouncing, funky beat that will have you bobbing along with the music even if you have no idea what the song is about. Plus, that VMA performance with the exercise bicycles was pretty neat.

Speaking of "what the song is talking about," it's not always easy to tell what's really going on in lyrics like these. The girls use their fair share of euphemism and metaphor, so you might not catch everything even if you listen closely.

So, with the help of annotations from genius.com, I've gone through and translated the lyrics to Side to Side so you can have a better understanding of the music.

I post this because, if you're like me, you've never heard of this person or heard her music. Her concert was bombed recently by Isis, and many kids died and were injured. Ariana Grande then performed the "One Love" tribute to the victims concert in Manchester, and this particular song was one of the songs the little girls were lining up for. Ariana Grande had the tears, the healing and now she's a hero. She has admitted that the lyrics are translated correctly from street lingo. This is what passes for heroic and empowering to liberals these days.

The terrorist were there to do physical damage, she was there to kill their souls.

I am not familiar with the person’s music but crass music has crossed into mainstream for decades. Earlier this week, I was riding public transport (such a wonderful venture) and was subjected to a young woman, who was presumably with her baby in a stroller, sitting next to me and playing an offensive rap song aloud. The most audible words were b-word, n-word and hos. I am pretty sure I heard “white” b-word, too.

[brucedickinson]

" I am pretty sure I heard “white” b-word, too."

I have no doubt, that you did.

Such class and COURAGE, right?

“I suppose I’m in the minority but I’m going to give Ariana Grande my respect here. She’s got some pretty big stones to go out on stage so soon after the attack at her own show and after last night’s Islamic terrorism in London. She’s a young woman who has lived a pretty sheltered life and she’s gotta be scared sick to go back on stage in Manchester. But she’s going to do it anyways. Good for her. Cowering in our homes is how they win.”

No vapors or feigned anything needed today.

Those bad or insulting words are NOTHING compared to having thousands of young teen girls and preteens singing about giving sex in the crudest and most disgusting terms.

If you don’t know what a riding a dick bicycle until you can’t walk means, or giving boys a wrist icicle...

God help us, that is what these degenerates are singing to preteen girls, and having them sing en masse.

Sorry to be crude, but “the b word” and “the n word” are exactly nothing compared to teaching 8-13 year old girls to be little sluts in graphic terms.

In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary. Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated patriarchal family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow. Lukacs launched a radical sex education program in the schools. Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority. All of this was accompanied by a reign of cultural terror perpetrated against parents, priests, and dissenters.

Hungary’s youth, having been fed a steady diet of values-neutral (atheism) and radical sex education while simultaneously encouraged to rebel against all authority, easily turned into delinquents ranging from bullies and petty thieves to sex predators, murderers, and sociopaths.

Yeah, real brave, surrounded by police snipers, and security like the POTUS.

Dirty lyrics aren’t anything new. Aerosmith’s “Big 10 Inch” wasn’t about a small-screen TV. And “Wango Tango” isn’t Ted Nugent’s tribute to Spanish dance.

Her handlers brought her out for the attention and the money. She’s more famous now than ever. Her next song will be 5 times as blue.

Very succinctly put....

Thanks for posting. These songs act as encouragement and conditioning for young women. In chapter 1 of Romans, Paul tells us how God views those who give approval to those who are struggling with sin. The music is yet another illustration of the luciferian agenda at work in popular culture. And given what we now know about the perps(s) of the attack, they were actively encouraged in their radicalization, they were allowed to travel to Libya for color revolution activities, and then they were allowed to return to settle in Manchester. I will let others draw their own conclusions about what this all means (and what it could imply we are to expect here in the future)...

[GSWarrior]

Well then, they had it coming....

“Black Pigeon Speaks” is a brilliant conservative commentator. This nine minute video about Manchester, the bombing, and Western social degeneracy is highly recommended.

Nobody said “they had it coming.”

We are saying it’s SICK to teach 8 year old girls to sing en-masse about giving boys “wrist icicles” and “riding the dick bicycle side to side until you can’t walk.”

"You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died"

Rabbit tests-- that really dates Aerosmith

A few years ago scholars determined that more than 40% of listeners couldn’t undetstand lyrics (”scuse me while I kiss this guy”) and a large majority had no idea what they meant.

You can see this overseas where bands play rock songs perfectly, then get off stage & can’t speak a word of English. When we interviewed East Europeans for “Rockin’ the Wall” documentary the ONLY lyrics they knew to “Born in the USA” were . . “Born in the USA,” & none knew it was an antiwar song. They thought (and believed) it was an anti-communist song.

lazy grammar. lazy artists.

pre teen fans wanting to be more than they are.

sad parenting.

See the video linked at 14, highly recommended by me.

I don’t disagree but what I saw, not necessarily heard, went beyond words. The music was played in earshot of her baby and while the child was too young to understand, it wasn’t exactly a traditional lullaby. It was representative of something that will foster and likely has fostered in similar environments.
