Extra Mile
Deluxe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back and forth by new rules, hoped way out my two shoes
Engaged into a game deadly sure to lose
Major symptomatic fecal flaws
Due to twisting gut afflictions bout to any time i know
I know it takes a mighty dose of faith
but keep in mind we chose to skip the boat well far along the waves
defying odds and steady slow the race
we be distributing quenelles round the globe by not too long i pray

Running after fantasies
When all we got right here's for real
A dirty city on the sea
Mighty fine dope playground to me
I heard you got a bike, two wheels
Near you got the swell and me
U can gimme a ride
Play it summer delight
Go the extra mile

Im sure you'll find
some time to play
lets conquer the world

I'm trying to play you out fool; don't you know that my jewels
are way more satisfied outdoor free and lose
Cuz its the way my daddy made me duh
and everyday the wind be blowing but we got to get this done hello!
I Know sometimes i seam to seek another silly dream
But really trying to redeem your basement tan team!
It's time you think to squeeze your wet suit on
It's for your good; don't get me wrong

Running after fantasies
When all we got right here's for real
A dirty city on the sea
Mighty fine dope playground to me
I heard you got a bike, two wheels
Near you got the swell and me
U can gimme a ride
Play it summer delight
Go the extra mile

Mercy Mercy me
Lets follow the sun and go out
Before we turn into dust lets go out
I'm Talking 'bout a thirsty turkey please




Let's borrow a boat and sail out
Bfore there's oil everywhere let's sail out, away out

Overall Meaning

"Extra Mile" is a song by Deluxe Feat. A.S.M (A State Of Mind) that talks about taking risks in life and going beyond the limit to achieve our desires and dreams. The lyrics contain themes of adventure, risk-taking, and living life to the fullest. The song opens with the line, "Back and forth by new rules, hoped way out my two shoes," which suggests that the persona is taking a chance by going after their dreams and breaking away from convention. The use of the phrase "deadly sure to lose" highlights the risks and the fear of failure.


The song contains a series of metaphors that describe the idea of pursuing one's dreams, such as "distributing quenelles round the globe" and going "the extra mile." The chorus line "Running after fantasies, when all we got right here's for real" suggests that one should not be too focused on their dreams and forget about the present moment. However, the persona challenges that notion by suggesting that without taking risks, one might never experience what life has to offer fully.


The song's outro speaks to the idea of living life to the fullest and taking advantage of opportunities while they last. The line, "Before there's oil everywhere, let's sail out, away out," suggests that time is running out, and we need to take action before it is too late.
