Sk8ter Boy
Skating Through Memories: A Tale of Love, Thrills, and Pineapple Wax
Lyrics
We played skate in the dark
We engaged in skateboarding during the nighttime.
I didn't fall apart
I didn't emotionally break down or fall apart during our skateboarding experiences.
Made me feel so brand new
Skateboarding made me feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
He showed me how to fall
He taught me how to fall gracefully while skateboarding.
And land on my feet
Learned to land on my feet after falling, showing resilience.
He said, would you play skate with me?
He invited me to play skateboarding with him.
Would you play skate with me?
Repetition of the invitation to emphasize the connection.
So many years since then
A passage of time; many years have passed since those skateboarding days.
We'll never be those kids again
We cannot go back to the carefree days of our youth.
Sometimes I just miss my friend
Sometimes, I long for the friendship and simplicity of the past.
He was a skater boy
He was a skateboarder.
I said see you later boy I love you
I bid farewell, expressing love to the skateboarder.
Skater boy, skater boy
Repetition of "skater boy" as a term of endearment.
Pineapple wax and shampoo
Reference to grooming items associated with skateboarding culture.
We would land all our tricks that switch kick flip
Achieving success in landing difficult skateboard tricks.
Flat spots wouldn't stop these motions
Persistence despite obstacles, symbolized by flat spots on wheels.
I won big wasn't afraid to fall
Victory in competitions and facing challenges without fear.
Rocking vans cause you're off the wall
Wearing Vans shoes, a brand associated with skateboarding rebelliousness.
He told me when you get letters just know you're getting better
Encouragement to embrace improvement, even in the face of criticism.
We bombed hills just for thrills
Engaging in risky behavior for the excitement.
New spitfire wheels
Reference to skateboard wheels and the thrill of downhill rides.
He gave me all the feels
Expressing intense emotions stirred by the skater.
Do it again, do it again
Desire to relive the exhilarating experiences of skateboarding.
Make my heart start like an engine
Feelings of excitement and passion compared to an engine starting.
Let it begin I'm carving your name in every bowl
Carving the skater's name into memory, a lasting impression.
Treflip, you are the bomb
Complimenting the skater's skill, using "treflip" as an example.
I'll sing along to your song like Daewon
Enjoying and participating in the skater's creative expression, akin to Daewon Song.
You said skate don't hate
Advocating for a positive skateboarding community, "skate don't hate."
Thrasher hoodie you look great
Complimenting the skater's appearance with a Thrasher hoodie.
We threw our bodies in the sky
Shared experiences of taking risks and defying gravity.
Backside power slide
Executing a skateboarding move, a backside power slide.
He was a skater boy
Reiteration of the skater's identity.
I said see you later boy I love you
Expressing love and bidding farewell again.
Skater boy, skater boy
Repetition of "skater boy" and expression of love.
Pineapple wax and shampoo I love you
Recalling grooming items and expressing love.
So many years since then
Reflecting on the passage of time since the skateboarding days.
We'll never be those kids again
Accepting the impossibility of returning to childhood but enjoying pretending.
But of course sometimes I do like to pretend
Indulging in imaginary scenarios with a skater.
I'm with a skater boy, I'll see you later boy
Imagining a reunion with the skater, expressing love.
I still love you
Reaffirming enduring love for the skater.
I know you love me too
Confident knowledge that the skater reciprocates the love.
I know you love me too
Reassurance of mutual love between the speaker and the skater.
