Intro
Diplo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no trouble in this town
But by God, I wish I'd find some

Sometimes in life, what you wanna do
Isn't necessarily what you're gonna do
Yup

Everyone fell fast and hard around here
Like, uh, snake oil with a hefty price tag

Hitchin' a ride, the desert won't hide me no more
Let me tell you somethin', son
If there's gonna be a showdown (hitchin' a ride)
You better not turn your back (the desert won't hide me no more)
Oh, and uh, don't forget to tip your queen (hitchin' a ride)
The desert won't hide me no more




Hitchin' a ride, the desert won't hide me no more
Hitchin' a ride, the desert won't hide me no more

Overall Meaning

The song "Intro" by Diplo feat. Orville Peck is an intriguing blend of western and electronic music that sets the stage for a dramatic story. The opening lines of the song express a desire for excitement and trouble in an otherwise calm and mundane town. The singer seems to be searching for something more in life, something that challenges them and makes them feel alive. However, they acknowledge that sometimes what they would like to do is not always what they will do, hinting at a potential internal struggle.


The song continues with a series of vivid and poetic images that suggest a sense of danger and adventure. The line "everyone fell fast and hard around here" evokes the sense of a place full of temptation and risk, like a wild west town where people lose themselves to passions and vices. The references to hitchhiking through the desert and "showdowns" suggest a lawless and unpredictable environment where danger lurks around every corner. The repeated refrain of "the desert won't hide me no more" creates a sense of inevitability and resignation, as if the singer is resigned to their fate and knows that they cannot escape it forever.


Overall, "Intro" is a powerful expression of longing for adventure and excitement, set against a backdrop of western mythology and electronic beats. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of a world full of danger and temptation, and the music captures the tension and drama of the story perfectly.
