Red Roof Estates
Austin Meade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love the ripple in the dress when you walk
A public situation, such a shock
No, I don't wanna go
You promised you would follow me home
I wore my most expensive cologne
I'm not the new one here
I've had a million like you
It's true, I do enjoy the view
But I've got a wife back at home
The number I ignore on my phone
Such a shame, you think you've won the game
But time's already tickin' away
Another night of yours gone to waste
You could've seen the view from my place
A penthouse at the Red Roof Estates
Well, I'm not the new one here
I've made this my career
I've had a million like you
Temporary mistake (just a)
Temporary mistake (just a)
Temporary mistake (just a)
Temporary mistake
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
More than a temporary mistake (ooh)
I'm not the new one here
I've made this my career
I've had a million like you
So don't take this personal
You're not the first I've told
That I've had a million like you
Two, three, four
The song "Red Roof Estates" by Austin Meade is an interesting take on the life of a man who sees himself as a veteran of the dating game. In the opening verse, the singer sees a beautiful woman in a public setting, and he is drawn to her allure. He asks her to come home with him after promising to follow her home. He puts on his most expensive cologne and prepares to make his move. The following verse reveals that he's not new to this game, and he has had a million women like her before.
In the chorus, he reminds the woman that she's not the first, nor will she be the last. He has a wife waiting for him at home, and he ignores her constant calls. The man sees it all as a temporary mistake, and he believes that he's not doing anything wrong. He tries to convince the woman not to take it personally, but he can't help acknowledging that his actions are not morally upright.
The song explores the themes of infidelity, temptation, and the thrill of the chase. Meade's lyrics present a man who can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman, but who also has a sense of guilt about his actions. It's a thought-provoking song that challenges the listener to think about the consequences of their actions.
