Lyrics:
Blood stains won't make it matter
Got good things, got you
Hoops and everything
Get back never get back too soon
Are you lonely
Are you there when im not in the room
Are you only
Only a part of this when you choose
Is it real
Is it something that you can not touch
Do you feel
Do you feel that you feel too much
Blood stains won't make it matter
Got good things, got you
Hoops and everything
Get back never get back too soon
Blood stains make confusing patterns
That lead me to you
Hoops and everything
Get back never get back too soon
Something crazy
Something changing in the way you talk
You are lately
Lately you are trying to be the one on top
Come on down
Come on and give it to me like you should
Gonna drown
I give u and get on with the life lived good
Say it all on the telephone
Say it in my head
Say it in my head
Say it in my head
Writing down all the things gone wrong
And the ink ran red
And the ink ran red
And the ink ran red
Blood stains won't make it matter
Got good things, got you
Hoops and everything
Get back never get back too soon
Get back never get back too soon
Get back never get back too soon
Get back never get back
Get back never get back
Get back never get back too soon
Get back never get back too soon
Yes its true
Hoops and everything
Get back never get back too soon
Get back never get back too soon
Get back never get back too soon
Get back never get back
Get back never get back

THIS SONG GOT FORGOTTEN SO QUICKLY BUT I FOUND THIS AGAIN AND ITS ABSOLUTE PLAYLIST MATERIAL

[@jakebendovervich5481]

Who forgot this?

[@grainy4145]

Yeah bois. I remember hearing this song, and i heard a small amount of a song that reminded me of this, took 4 hours of lyric finding to find this song, damn worth it though am i right?

[@jacobclements1582]

[@jackmanner7936]

Same lol I heard this song at Mac Donald’s and now listen to it forever xD

[@Nerkovol]

Better go in that playlist

[@SgtGunny-gz5hg]

I saw these guys live in Coffs this year (2023) and these guys still rock and got the crowd pumping.

[@benrujo]

The Rubens have an uncanny ability to sound mediocre at first and then become essential playlist material.

[@hollysouthall4945]

Ben Rujo BAHAHHAHA

[@gcroga568]

This is a great example of a backhanded compliment 😂 but you’re not wrong.

[@iamarchibald]

I feel like their more popular songs don't have that ability as in they sound good from the start but their less popular songs like hallelujah and God forgot. While still fairly popular aren't as popular because they have the starting mediocre ness

[@erinnewlands7544]

I wouldn't know, this is the only song of theirs I like.. good song though

[@emowankinemo]

[@rubymilne6651]

LOVE this song. Such a good intro in to the rest of the album which i also loveee

[@Dixalona]

As an Australian that lives in England, I'd never actually heard this song until it came in at number 1 while streaming live! I once was a jjj nerd and I love that this came in at number one. Great stuff, good to see you don't need to be commercialised worldwide to win the countdown. Will always

It Is not a song. It is a message. Music tricks your ego. It lulls it with the tune so the wisdom can sneak past the gate.

Australian Gold, Well done Boys and congratulations to Triple J for supporting and nurturing Australian music talent and playing well over their minimum commitment of Australian songs because their listeners want it. UNLIKE THE COMMERCIAL STATIONS

Its sad how fast this amazing song died out

[@tarinbybee3721]

Come to Atlanta!!!

[@kendrikMN]

I have a theory that this song is about quitting smoking. Hear me out, so "Bloodstains won't make things matter" - side effects from smoking (eg coughing up blood). "Won't make things matter got good things, got you" - the effects he gets from smoking. "Hoops and everything" - smoke rings and the such. "Get back, never get back too soon" - he's inevitably going to get back to smoking durries.

[@TranslationsRussian]

+scott nicholson Hoops could = basketball or nickname for jockeys??

[@whitewolf2779]

+scott nicholson Makes sense, but smoking could be replaced by a girlfriend or ex. Bloodstains could symbolise scars from the relationship, but he keeps thinking about them and ends up with them again. "Hoops" is more than likely this process repeating itself.

[@caltha2720]

+scott nicholson Mine, and this is completely personal opinion, is that it is a message rather than about something specific. "Blood stains, won't make it matter" - Anti self-harm message. Spilling blood won't make things better/change anything. "Got good things, got you" A huge thing for many people suffering depression is to have a sense of self worth, belief in themselves and to see the value in their own life. But I think it's best people find their own interpretation. Doesn't necessarily have to be a clear cut answer. For example, to take a different point from what the person below said - it could be about a previous relationship. Bloodstains could represent lashing out, in which case it could be saying that lashing out at a person who hurt you won't make things matter or change anything, and to chin up - you've got good things, got you. That's if you take it as a message I guess. The album art is a hand making the okay sign, album title hoops. Hoops could mean being okay, I guess. Beauty of it finding your own take :)

[@kendrikMN]

Calum Thaxter Yeah it is about a previous relationship, I was just trying to be creative.

[@fronkcorlyle1111]

+scott nicholson I always thought it was about a relationship which is more one sided, example: Are you there when im not in the room

[@sophiedubois8934]

Lol. I can’t get past this song. Questions me and my friends regularly ask each each other: 1. Are you lonely? Are you dere when I’m not in da room.? 2. Are you only? Only a part of this when you choose? 3. Is it real? Is it something that you cannot touch? 4. Do you feel? Do you feel that you feel too much? Then we pass the doobie on the left hand side.

[@lennylikesmusic]

Hahah that me too. Maybe I was 12 and hated it because my mum liked it. I wanted Kendrick to win hot 100 that year. But now I'm all about Aus music and enjoying the local scene much more. But always have a spot for the rappers in the trenches in my heart. KING KUNTA ✊
