Fast Times in Tahoe
Elemeno P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I doubt it, I really doubt it
Playing ping pong over oceans, messing with emotions
Messing with my head
Messing with my head
13 hours ago, I'm no longer at home
Fast times in Tahoe
Three thousand miles away
What can I say
Fast times fast times to fast for me
And I don't care what you say
To get me out of the way
I got to get my message through to you
Baby,baby,baby,baby,baby,baby,baby
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
But I doubt it, I really doubt it
Playing ping pong over oceans, messing with emotions
Messing with my head
And I don't care what you say
To get me out of the way
I got to get my message through to you
Baby,baby,baby,baby,baby,baby,baby
Playing in the Snow
Who oh oh oh
Times in Tahoe
Playing in the Snow
Who oh oh oh
They say, makes the, grow , but I, I really , playing, over
Messing with
Messing with
Fast times in Tahoe
Playing in the Snow
Who oh oh oh
Who oh oh oh
Who oh oh oh
Who oh oh oh
The lyrics of "Fast Times in Tahoe" by Elemeno P talk about the doubts that one has about absence making the heart grow fonder. The singer dismisses the idea, asserting that playing ping pong over oceans and messing with emotions is just messing with their head. The phrase "fast times in Tahoe" refers to a time when the singer is 3,000 miles away from home and having the time of their life in Tahoe. They find the experience is too fast for them and they cannot keep up with it. The song is a plea to get their message through to someone they care about and not let distance and time get in the way of their feelings.
The words "baby, baby, baby" are repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's urgency to communicate with their loved one. The phrase "playing in the snow" is used to describe a joyful experience that the singer is having in Tahoe. The song has an upbeat and catchy melody, which contrasts with the bittersweet nature of its lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
They say, makes the, grow , but I, I really , playing, over
People often say that being apart can make a relationship stronger, but I have serious doubts about that because when we are separated and communication consists of playing Ping-Pong with our emotions, it only messes with my head.
Fast times in Tahoe
I am currently experiencing a time of excitement and adventure in Tahoe.
Three thousand miles away
I have traveled a great distance from home.
What can I say
I'm not sure what to say or how to accurately describe my current experience.
Fast times fast times to fast for me
Although I am enjoying these exciting times in Tahoe, everything is happening so quickly that it's hard for me to keep up and I feel overwhelmed.
And I don't care what you say
To get me out of the way
I got to get my message through to you
Baby,baby,baby,baby,baby,baby,baby
I am determined to get my message to you, no matter what anyone else may say, and I repeat 'baby' as a term of endearment to emphasize the importance of my message.
Playing in the Snow
Who oh oh oh
I am currently enjoying playing in the snow
Times in Tahoe
Playing in the Snow
Who oh oh oh
Who oh oh oh
Who oh oh oh
Who oh oh oh
These are times that I will remember and cherish, full of adventure and joy while playing in the snow in Tahoe.
