Motorcycle
?? & ?? Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Riding a motorcycle and being in a gang
Being in love and women's rights and male hedonism
Worshiping the devil, good vibes all around
And acting cool, and acting cool
And acting cool, and acting cool
And acting cool, and acting cool

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes

To truly see the light
And most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right
You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

I changed my life I was gasping for air
I was leaning forward almost fell outta my chair
And now you're looking suspicious asking is that true
Come on people, would I lie to you
Come on people, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you

(It's just that) sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To truly see the light
(It's just that) most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right
You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

More like a couple of nights ago
Said nobody knows
Oh I am safe but not for long
Go back a couple of nights ago
Play the usual
So I feel safe to sing along
More like a couple of nights ago
Couple nights ago

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To truly see the light
Most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right
You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To truly see the light
Most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right

You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

Overall Meaning

The song "Motorcycle" by ??&?? is a complex yet fun track that talks about different themes. The first verse describes living life on the edge as a biker in a gang, and how it contrasts with acts of love and feminism. It also mentions devil worship, but with a positive twist of good vibes all around. The chorus repeats that one must close their eyes to see the light, and that people should know right from wrong now that they're older. The second verse then talks about the singer changing their life, causing some suspicion among others, but it ends with a plea of honesty, "Would I lie to you?" The last verse seems to talk about a night of singing and feeling safe.

The song is full of metaphors and vivid imagery, such as the motorcycle representing freedom and danger. The themes of love, feminism, and devil-worship almost sound dichotomous, but the song suggests that they can coexist positively. It also gives a message of growth and maturity, as suggested by the line "most of us are older now, we should know wrong from right." The track is a fun and upbeat way of celebrating the complexities of life.

Living a rebellious and non-conformist lifestyle

Being in love and women's rights and male hedonism
Advocating for gender equality and embracing both love and pleasure

Worshiping the devil, good vibes all around
Embracing darker elements while still maintaining a positive overall energy

And acting cool, and acting cool
Putting on a facade of confidence and aloofness

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
In order to truly understand or experience something, you must shut out distractions

To truly see the light
To understand the truth of a situation or to reach enlightenment

And most of us are older now
We have more life experience and should therefore have a better understanding of right and wrong

We should know wrong from right
We should act in a morally responsible way

The connection and love between two people

Loving each other the way that we do
Being committed and devoted to each other

I changed my life I was gasping for air
Recognizing the need for change and making the necessary adjustments before it's too late

And now you're looking suspicious asking is that true
Others may doubt or question the sincerity of one's transformation

Come on people, would I lie to you
Asserting one's honesty and integrity

More like a couple of nights ago
Recalling a past event

Said nobody knows
Implying the event was secret or unknown to others

Oh I am safe but not for long
Feeling secure for the time being but acknowledging that it won't last forever

Go back a couple of nights ago
Returning to the previous memory

Play the usual
Engaging in familiar actions or routines

So I feel safe to sing along
Feeling comfortable enough to express oneself freely

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
Reiteration of the importance of shutting out distractions

Most of us are older now
Reiteration of the idea that we should be wiser and more responsible

You and me, me and you
Reiteration of the connection and love between two people

Loving each other the way that we do
Reiteration of the devotion and commitment to each other

Greetings from Yemen, the origin of the Arabs 🇾🇪 I love your content 🤎

@dcsteve7869

@@oregonstonersvlogs He bro, you're a crybaby because you got called out on what you didn't actually know and continued to push it with other people commenting and then threatened them. You reap what you sew, deal with it.

and as someone who actually did bother to get a JD and seen hundreds of court cases, sorry but there is no criminal case for getting your feelings hurt and under Oregon hate crimes law you are only able to make a criminal complaint if someone damages your property, makes a credible threat of injury or harm, or causes injury and physical harm to you. The hate speech laws were dead on arrival under Brandenburg v Ohio, and in the ruling of Phelps v Snyder you have NO expectation or right to not be offended or insulted. Get over it.

That firsr guy was just trying to find someone to blame for his own embarrassment

@Scoupe400

Exactly that. But also there’s a huge amount of people who drive and think they either own the road or there’s a contest (for the tarmac ahead or going faster). So the VW and the car ahead of that are tailgating and would hate a bike to go past, so they make it harder for the bike - but this fool was so focused on what was behind him.

Nice of the biker to stop. But as soon as you see fit lads jumping out and nothing wrong either them, clear off. Driving like that and the first words out of his mouth spell danger, blame, etc. Just go. Entering a debate is stupid and could go as far as incriminating.

Filtering is legal in Montana, not splitting. People tend to confuse the two and/or combine them as a single action.

Seen this in soo many Chinese and Indian clips. It's a patten, for sure. Same in Turkey and other similar countries in the Levant. But rarely in Russia unless it's a trophee wife in a SUV. Rarely in Latin America. They seem to be really bad drivers, but still more relaxed, not so ego-fixated.

Fool knows he f'ed up but can't admit it, so gotta blame others.
I wouldn't've even engaged. "Blaming us? Kbye..."

@hectorzapata4295

There are very small fire extinguishers than can be carried in a backpack (Element E50) and doesn't weight much or take space. Is it so hard to carry one? I don't ride, but I carry a fire extinguisher in all my vehicles along with a first aid kit. Be safe out there.

0:13 first, why are they speaking English? It sounded like they both reverted into some chinese-like language at times. Second, why push the debate with a driver when you are not part of his accident? Just let him be with his guilt.
The driver acted like he was projecting his feelings of guilt on the first person to show up. Blaming whomever. I did that as a child, too.

@dcsteve7869

It sounded to me like the rider wasn't Chinese so the driver decided to speak to them in English which it isn't uncommon to be spoken by south asians and used as a bridge language in the region. Just my guess I could be wrong

@impalaSS65

@@dcsteve7869 Ok that makes sense. I couldn't tell. I was surprised the Chinese guy spoke so relativelly fluent, too. It didn't exactly look like a tourist spot, so the readyness to speak English wasn't expected.
It was an interesting video for many reasons!

11:18 imagine riding up the shoulder cutting people off or forcing them out of their lane and then thinking someone is a "loser" for being mad at your idiotic riding.

Here's the thing. If you get mad when someone does that to you while driving in a car and you scream at them than you're entitled to the entire use of the lane, what makes you think you can do it to someone else on a narrow road and they have no right to get upset? Honestly a lot of these riders shouldn't have a license. 30 years and I never have thees kinds of problems for a reason.

@Scoupe400

10:32 there’s no logic to be this ignorant. If you plunge the filler hose into the tank like that, a working cut off valve will only fill your tank about half or two-thirds. You must know your bike is only going to take between 10 & 20 litres, it fills very fast, so just watch it.

And you want the filler spout barely into the tank (a few mm / quarter inch), so you can fully brim the tank full.

And never trust filler hoses aren’t faulty.
