Bowl For Two
The Expendables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I packed this bowl for two
And I
I'm gonna wanna smoke it with you
Yes you know it is time
For us to sit down and unwind
I know the feeling, I know the feeling
So stay with me tonight
Gonna kick back relax
Make sure the ganja's packed
And we'll feel all right
We're flying high now
We're flying high now
I cannot feel the ground
We're flying high now
We're flying high now
My world is spinning round
So please don't run away
When my ganja's all gone
Promise me that you're gonna stay
When my flight is all done
There's only one thing left to do
I got this one nug this frosty purple nug
And it's big enough for two
The Expendables' song "Bowl For Two" is a mellow, reggae-inflected tune about sharing a bowl of marijuana with someone special. The first verse sets the scene; the singer has packed a bowl for two and is eager to smoke it with his companion. He urges them to sit down and relax, acknowledging that he knows the feeling - he just wants to unwind with the person he cares about. The chorus perfectly captures the hazy, mellow effect of marijuana - the singer and his companion are "flying high," unable to feel the ground. He asks his companion not to leave when the marijuana runs out, promising that there is still more fun to come.
In the second verse, the singer reveals that he has an especially large and potent nugget of marijuana to share, and he and his companion smoke it together; it is the ultimate bond shared between them. The song's overall atmosphere is one of laid-back pleasure-seeking, free of any commitment beyond the present moment. The song is a celebration of hedonism and the simple pleasures of life.

There's only one thing left to do
Once we finish smoking, there is just one final thing to do
I got this one nug this frosty purple nug
I have one last marijuana bud, which is a high-quality frosty purple strain
And it's big enough for two
This last marijuana bud is large enough for both of us to enjoy together
