80proof
Intoxicating Emotions: Decoding Nolan Barba's 80proof
Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of acknowledgment or agreement
I bet your touch is like eighty proof
Comparing the sensation of the person's touch to the potency and intensity of eighty proof alcohol (strong and impactful)
(Yeah yeah)
Reiteration of the comparison mentioned in line 2 with an affirming tone
There isn't much I could say to you
Feeling limited in expressing thoughts or feelings to the person
Probably why I'm on the road
Implying being away or distant, possibly physically or emotionally
Probably why my shoulder cold instead of my wrist the pedals are low
Metaphorically stating a sense of detachment or aloofness, focusing on a journey rather than emotions (shoulder cold symbolizes distance)
It is what it is when you're riding for throne
Accepting circumstances while pursuing a significant goal (riding for throne)
But we're still just a couple kids
Despite aspirations or responsibilities, still feeling youthful or inexperienced
(Aye)
Indicating potential involvement or engagement for the sake of enjoyment or excitement
Maybe I sign up for kicks
Possibly engaging in activities just for fun or thrill
Maybe I run up this shit till we lose track n' go tear down a bridge
Expressing a lack of direction or purpose, possibly followed by impulsive actions (tearing down a bridge metaphorically)
(It is what it is)
Acceptance of circumstances or outcomes
You fell on a mudslide cause it rained
Describing a challenging or difficult situation due to uncontrollable circumstances (metaphor of falling on a mudslide)
Wasn't no helping
Being unable to offer assistance or help
You soak up the sunshine with your face
Enjoying moments of happiness or positivity despite limitations
Isn't enough time in a day
Expressing a lack of time to accomplish everything desired
Yeah that same shit
Reiterating a similar sentiment or situation
Lately I been missing tryna waste it
Feeling regretful about wasting time or missing opportunities
(Hey yeah)
Requesting the person to stay for entertainment or distraction
So please stay
Desire for the person's company or presence
I need entertainment
Willingness to let the person go despite personal changes
I'll send you on your way
Observing changes in the person that are beyond control
I could feel you changing
Difficulty dealing with certain individuals or types of people
These people you can't take
Seeking something traditional or ancient for comfort or solace
Try finding something ancient
Sensing a connection or emotion during prayer or meditation
You feel it when you pray
Alluding to faith in a higher power despite uncertainty or lack of clear representation
To a god without a face
Metaphorically referring to drinking without pursuing anything meaningful (goose without a chase)
The only goose without a chase
Reiterating the comparison of the person's touch to eighty proof, possibly reinforcing its impact
I bet your touch is like eighty proof
Reiteration of the comparison between the person's touch and eighty proof
(Yeah yeah)
Acknowledging the wisdom in keeping a distance or being cautious
I'd be smart to keep you at bay
Feeling limited in expressing thoughts or feelings to the person, similar to line 4
There isn't much I could say to you
Recognition of the person's ability to negatively impact a day or mood
You sure can ruin a day
Expressing how the person's presence or actions can negatively affect a day
