Smoke A Little Smoke
Church Eric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let this ol' world just spin around
I wanna feel it swing, wanna feel it sway
And put some feel good in my soul
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
Wanna little more right and a little less left
Little more right now, a little less what's next
And just kick back and let the feelin' flow
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke, yeah
I set my sails for a new direction
But the wind got in my way
I changed my course but my definition of change
Just ain't the same
I'm gonna sit right here, stay away from there
I'm gon' make pretend I just don't care
I could get up, go get her back
Or maybe I'll just let her go
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke, yeah
Yeah, go get her back oh
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
I kick back, give the blues spin
Break out the wine, forget again
Dig down deep, find my stash
Light it up, take me back
I kick back, give the blues spin
Break out the wine, just forget again
Dig down deep, strike my stash
Light it up, memory crash
Oh no, I don't know, baby my take on life
Maybe break out that old rock and roll
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
Gon' drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke yea
In “Smoke a Little Smoke”, Church Eric is expressing his desire to escape from the world for a while, to turn off reality, turn up the music, and just live in the moment. The opening lines “Turn the quiet up, turn the noise down, Let this ol' world just spin around” set the stage for Eric’s desire to ignore the hectic world around him and to just relax. He wants things to be fun and carefree, and he longs to recharge his energy by drinking and smoking.
In the chorus, Eric expresses his political views, with lines such as “Wanna little more right and a little less left, Little more right now, a little less what's next” which hints on his conservative beliefs. Moving onto the second verse, the lyrics describe Eric’s change in direction in life and his need to just sit down and relax for a while. He is content to just let the world go by and enjoy himself with a drink in hand and a smoke in the air.
The line “Dig down deep, strike my stash” paints the picture of Eric looking for his stash or something he’s hidden away ahead of time for days like these. The song ultimately depicts the artist wanting to forget his worries for a while, escape reality, and indulge in the simpler things in life.
