Zoom
Seductive Speed: Embracing Love's Rush in 'Zoom'
Lyrics
End of a long day
Expressing the fatigue at the end of a long day
Feeling bluer than Bombay
Feeling sadder than Bombay, indicating deep emotions
I'm in ruins like Pompeii
Feeling devastated or broken, likened to the ruins of Pompeii
He chill me out like a Sunday
Referring to someone who has a calming effect, like a Sunday
He got me feeling the strong way
Feeling a strong emotional connection
That's why I love him
Expressing love for the person mentioned
I need his loving, my way
Expressing a need for the person's love in her own way
That's why I'm cutting highways
Indicating a willingness to make significant efforts for the relationship
Oh
Exclamation of emotion
But he don't like the way I drive nah nah
Describing disagreements about the pace of the relationship
Say I got to take my time nah nah
-But I don't like to wait all night
-Ooh
Expressing impatience and a desire to move quickly
I'm running lights
Metaphorically describing reckless behavior, running red lights
Cos he got that touch that make me zoom
Reiteration of the desire for a fast-paced relationship
Get in my car, hit 82
-Speeding like vroom vroom vroom
-Til he up on my body
-He got that touch that make me zoom
-Look in his eyes they baby blue
-Heart beating like boom boom boom
-Now he up on my body
-Two gin and sodas
-Now he flirting with Kota
-Mixing his words like he Yoda
-Face gone white like a toga
-I'm always calm like it's yoga
-That's why I love him
-I need his loving my way
-That's why I'm cutting highways
-Oh
-But he don't like the way I drive nah
-Say I got to take my time nah
-But I don't like to wait all night
-Ooh
-I'm running lights
Continuation of the metaphor of running lights
Cos he got that touch that make me zoom
Reiteration of the impact of the person's touch
Get in my car, hit 82
-Speeding like vroom vroom vroom
-Til he up on my body
-He got that touch that make me zoom
-Look in his eyes they baby blue
-Heart beating like boom boom boom,
-Now he up on my body
-That's why l love him, ooh
Reaffirmation of love and the desire for secrecy in the relationship
That's why I love him, ooh
-Put no one above him, ooh
-Yeah he got me like zoom zoom zoom and we don't tell nobody
-I drop the top in the midnight air
Continuation of describing the speaker's actions and emotions
Zoom zoom zoom
-I'll cop the fine baby I don't care
-True true true
-In my whip all the goddamn time
-Does that mean I'm whipped on you?
-Got me high cos he that fine
-I should not drive
-Nah but he got that
Recognition of the person's influence
Cos he got that touch that make me zoom
Repetition of the impact of the person's touch and expressions of love
Get in my car, hit 82
-Speeding like vroom vroom vroom
-Til he up on my body
-He got that touch that make me zoom
-Look in his eyes they baby blue
-Heart beating like boom boom boom,
-Now he up on my body
-That's why l love him, ooh
-That's why I love him, ooh
-Put no one above him, ooh
-Yeah he got me like zoom zoom zoom and we don't tell nobody
Final affirmation of love and the desire for secrecy
