Bag Raiders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turnin' blue, oh, oh-oh
Since I've been here, passing cars
Hold me back, ooh
How long will your love take?
Hold my thoughts, push them through
'Cause I can't breathe your oxygen
Hold my thoughts, oh, oh-oh
How, how long? How, how long?
How long will your love take? How long?
How, how long? How, how long?
Tell me, is there something I just won't see?
How, how long? How, how long?
How long will your love take? How long?
How, how long? How, how long?
Can't you see I'm ready for this to be?
Since you left, all my thoughts
Turnin' blue, oh, oh-oh
Just want to pass your memory
What I recall, ooh
We used to be in color
Hold my thoughts, push them through
'Cause I can't breathe your oxygen
Hold my thoughts, oh, oh-oh
How, how long? How, how long?
How long will your love take? How long?
How, how long? How, how long?
Tell me, is there something I just won't see?
How, how long? How, how long?
How long will your love take? How long?
How, how long? How, how long?
Can't you see I'm ready for this to be?
'Cause I can't breathe without your love
All these thoughts on my mind
Tell me, how long until it's clear?
I want to break through
How, how long? How, how long?
How long will your love take? How long?
How, how long? How, how long?
Tell me, is there something I just won't see?
How, how long? How, how long?
How long will your love take? How long?
How, how long? How, how long?
Can't you see I'm ready for this to be?
Can't you see I'm ready for this to be?
The lyrics of BAG RAIDERS' Panama's song How Long seem to be about struggling to let go of a past love and their memories after a breakup. The singer is haunted by the thoughts of the person who left them and feels trapped in their memories. Passing cars become a distraction, but they find it hard to break free from the memories. The lyrics express the singer's desire to move on and the uncertainty of how long it will take to heal from the heartbreak.
The lines "We used to be in color, Hold my thoughts, push them through, 'Cause I can't breathe your oxygen" suggest that the person is missing the vibrant and colorful life they shared with their ex-lover. The oxygen reference in the lyrics seems to indicate that the singer feels suffocated and unable to live a fulfilling life without their former partner. They want to break through and move on, but they seem to be struggling to do so.
The song's chorus repeats the line "How long will your love take?" which appears to be a rhetorical question aimed at the lost love. The singer wants to know how long they will have to endure the pain of heartbreak before they can finally move on. The song ends with the plea, "Can't you see I'm ready for this to be?" which suggests that the person is exhausted and ready to find closure and move on from the memories of their past love.
