Like It
Bluey and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just add Pabst and eyes grow wild.
I know this town has got you down
And you can't take the pain she brings,
So fuck old friends you've got four here,
Tight like strings.
We may never make sense to them.
Because of who we are,
But what good are they anyway,
When we can only cry on tour?
Now you're fighting the need to be alone,
Because a hundred miles outside your calling zone,
There's a bed, a dog, and a girl you once called Home.
But like all good things, they must end,
So just tough it out with your dirty friends.
How good were "things" anyway?
When the pretense won't wash away?
And these cigarettes are smoking you.
And the sex is doing nothing.
And it seems there is no medicine, just that cliched Open Road.
We've been sitting here too long. Lets go.
I know this town has got you down,
And you can't take the pain she brings.
Fuck old friends, you've got four here, tight like strings.
The song "Like it" by Bluey and Friends speaks about the struggles of being on tour and away from home. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is feeling down and disconnected from their life back home. They turn to their friends on tour for support and comfort, as they feel they can't rely on their old friends who don't understand their lifestyle. The lyrics evoke feelings of loneliness and homesickness, but also a sense of camaraderie and loyalty among the members of the band.
The opening lines of "Hit the road and you ignite, just add Pabst and eyes grow wild" set the scene for a wild and reckless lifestyle on the road. The mention of Pabst, a cheap and popular beer among musicians, suggests that the band is living on a tight budget while touring. The chorus of "I know this town has got you down, and you can't take the pain she brings, so fuck old friends you've got four here, tight like strings" highlights the sense of isolation and disconnection that the singer is feeling. They have found comfort in their bandmates, who have become like family to them.
The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of relationships on tour. The line "there's a bed, a dog, and a girl you once called Home" suggests that the singer has left someone behind who they still have strong feelings for, but they know that they can't stay in one place for too long. They must keep moving, even if it means leaving loved ones behind.
Overall, "Like it" is a poignant and relatable song about the ups and downs of life on the road. It captures the sense of loneliness and disconnection that comes with being away from home, but also the sense of camaraderie and loyalty that can develop among bandmates.
