Drop
Chloe and Halle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're that same old tune
I don't ever wanna hear you again
Why are you here, I'd like to skip
Wanna be deaf to it
Can not turn my ears off
But time stops
It's too strong-ong, long-ong
But time stops
When your beat drops
Turn if off, off, off, off
Baby I hate listening, listening, listening
You drive me so crazy, so crazy, so crazy
Boy can you please play that again
You know you're not what I wanna sing
But you're the only thing, only thing
That's playing in my head
My head, my head , my head, my head
Time stops
(Time stops)
When your beat drops
(Beat drops)
It's too strong-ong, long-ong
But time stops
(Time stops)
When your beat drops
(Beat drops)
Turn if off, off, off, off
When that beat drops
It shatters, glass ceilings
I'm in my feelings
Adrenaline be thrilling
Shards cut deep when you play
Shards cut deep when you stray
Vibrations move those mountains
Chaos flows like fountains
When I don't hear you I need it
When I do hear you I'm bleeding
There's no in between, between it
There's no middle, explain no feelings
It's a loving war with radio
Stop it, stop it
It's a loving war with radio
But I feel it, feel it, feel it
Shooby-dooby-do-do-do-do
Shooby-dooby-do-do-do
Shooby-dooby-do-do-do-do
Shooby-dooby-do-do
Time stops
(Time stops)
When your beat drops
(Beat drops)
It's too strong-ong, long-ong
But time stops
(Time stops)
When your beat drops
(Beat drops)
Turn if off, off, off, off
The opening lines of Chloe and Halle's song "Drop" express a sentiment that many people can relate to: getting sick of hearing the same old thing over and over again. The lyrics convey a sense of irritability and impatience, suggesting that the singer is exhausted from hearing a particular song or sound. The repetition of the phrase "listening, listening, listening" highlights this frustration, as does the line "Why are you here, I'd like to skip." However, despite this sense of weariness, the song's refrain shows that there is something about the music that the singer just can't resist. When the beat drops, time stops, and the singer's attitude shifts from one of annoyance to one of excitement, as they describe feeling "in their feelings" and experiencing the thrill of adrenaline. The imagery in the lyrics is vivid, with words like "shatters," "shards," and "chaos" conjuring intense sensory experiences that evoke the power of music to move us deeply.
Taken as a whole, "Drop" is a song about the complex emotional relationship that we have with music. It shows that while we can become weary of hearing the same old songs and sounds, there is something about music that draws us in, keeps us hooked, and even transforms us in profound ways. The song speaks to the transformative power of music, highlighting the way that it can break down barriers, move mountains, and trigger intense emotional responses.
