Imma get high and go for a run
Imma get high and go for a run
I’m gonna think and go for a run
I’m gonna think ‘bout the good that we’ve done
I’m gonna listen to the demo for my mix notes
I’m gonna listen to myself and rely on
I’m gonna listen to myself and rely on
I’m gonna listen to myself and rely on

I’m gonna think ‘bout the good love that we made
The good things that we made
The video we made
I think I know myself
I’m gonna think ‘bout the

Good love that good love that good love that good love

That good love that good love that
Gonna love you forever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cub Sport's song "Video" seem to delve into themes of introspection, self-reflection, and personal growth. The repetition of the line "Imma get high and go for a run" suggests a desire to find clarity and escape from the pressures or uncertainties of life. The act of getting high and going for a run may symbolize a temporary escape from reality, allowing the singer to think deeply about their experiences and the positive aspects of their past relationship.
