First Time
Destra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
It just makes me feel so sentimental
Yeah
Repeat ×2
[I remember the first time I wuk my waist
When the big truck pass and Shake the place
I was younger than
As long as my heart is working
And I always feel like certain
Like a Caravan searching
This sentence in the following sentence is not in the song I just do
Not remember the rest of the lyrics I am so sorry for your time some
Of the lyrics may not be correct but I
Tried my best to provide you with the lyrics.
In the song "First Time" by Destra, the lyrics convey the excitement and nostalgia associated with experiencing something for the first time. The repetition of the phrase "The first time should be so special" emphasizes the significance and value placed on this initial experience. It evokes a sense of anticipation and the desire to create lasting memories.
The lyrics also express the sentimental emotions that arise from such a special moment. The line "It just makes me feel so sentimental" suggests that the singer is overwhelmed with a flood of emotions, potentially reflecting on a past event or a cherished memory that holds a special place in their heart.
The next set of lyrics, which are in brackets, describe a specific memory related to the first time the singer "wuk" (work) their waist. This could refer to dancing, particularly in a Caribbean context where "wuk" often describes rhythmic waist movement. The mention of the "big truck pass and Shake the place" suggests that this moment happened during a lively event or celebration where a large truck (perhaps a Carnival float) drove by, creating an energetic atmosphere. The reference to being "younger than" and unable to recall the exact timeframe underscores the enduring impact of this experience.
The following lines, "As long as my heart is working, And I always feel like certain, Like a Caravan searching," metaphorically express the connection between the singer's emotions and their physical being. The heart symbolizes the emotional receptivity and the sense of certainty or assurance they feel. The comparison to a "Caravan searching" may imply that the singer is constantly exploring and seeking new experiences, suggesting a desire for continued emotional fulfillment.
Although some of the lyrics are incomplete or inaccurate in your description, the overall theme revolves around the importance of the first time and the sentimental value it holds. The song encapsulates the anticipation, overwhelming emotions, and nostalgic reflections often associated with significant moments and milestones in our lives.
