Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ricochet
I′m gettin' closer
Since the seventh grade
Changing lanes
Changing lanes
Still in the whip
Can′t look back
Can't look back
Can't look back
I know, I know, my friend
Where are you now?
I know, I know, my friend
Where are you now?
In Channel Tres's song "Orpheus," the lyrics convey a sense of reflection and progression. The opening lines, "Pop the pain, ricochet, I'm gettin' closer, since the seventh grade," suggest that the singer is actively pushing through obstacles and growing, symbolized by popping the pain and the ricochet of energy. The reference to the seventh grade implies that this journey of self-discovery and overcoming challenges began at a young age.
The chorus, repeating the phrase "Changing lanes, still in the whip, so fuck the fame," suggests that the singer is evolving and adapting, constantly switching paths and embracing personal growth while disregarding the allure of fame and external validation. This can be interpreted as a rejection of societal expectations and a focus on the individual journey rather than seeking external validation.
The repeated line "Can't look back" emphasizes the theme of moving forward and emphasizes the importance of staying focused on the present and future, rather than dwelling on the past. It can also be seen as a call to embrace change and not be hindered by past mistakes or regrets.
The repeated question, "Where are you now?" directed towards a friend, alludes to a sense of longing and possibly a desire for connection or understanding. It suggests that the singer is searching for someone who may have shared a similar journey or understanding, or perhaps looking for guidance and support.
