Drifter
Don Diablo feat. DYU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(We're in the fast lane!)
ZOOM ZOOM
Three hundred down the road
Speed tickets on the highway
BOOM BOOM
But you can't keep up
Bass down low in a tricked-out truck
Like a NASCAR race
You've been chasin' all day
BOOM BOOM
But you can't keep up
Bass down low and we can't be stopped
(Bass down low and we can't be stopped)
Bass down low and we can't be stopped
I move quicker than ya think this a mosh pit
My heart is racing because my body know I'm about it
I'm swifter than Swift
You better ask Taylor Swift
Coming at you fast call me "fast to furious"
RIP Paul Walker, Babe
Three hundred, three hundred
Like a tornado girl I call him combo da racer
Devastate devastate
(Ahhh)
Bass down low and we can't be stopped
Eh, Ohh...
ZOOM ZOOM
Three hundred down the road
Speed tickets on the highway
BOOM BOOM
But you can't keep up
Bass down low in a tricked-out truck
VROOM VROOM
Like a NASCAR race
You've been chasin' all day
BOOM BOOM
But you can't keep up
Bass down low and we can't be stopped
(Bass down low and we can't be stopped)
Bass down low and we can't be stopped!
Bass down low and we can't be stopped!
(Ahhh)
We out of here, Don
Look behind us
"Who there?", "It's dust."
You know they can't keep up with us, boy
Bass down low and we can't be stopped!
The song "Drifter" by Don Diablo feat. DYU is all about the thrill of speed and leaving everything else behind. The lyrics paint a picture of a high-speed chase in a tricked-out truck or NASCAR race. The opening lines "Nothing but dust...We're in the fast lane!" immediately sets the tone of the song, suggesting that the singer is leaving everything behind and embracing the rush of moving at top speed.
The chorus, "ZOOM ZOOM, Three hundred down the road, Speed tickets on the highway, BOOM BOOM, But you can't keep up, Bass down low in a tricked-out truck" describes the image of the tricked-out truck zooming down the road with a pounding bass, but with the authorities on its tail. The lyrics suggest that although the singer has been chased down, they can't be stopped, and bold declarations like "Bass down low and we can't be stopped" only add to the bravado.
The song provides an anthem for adrenaline junkies, speed freaks and petrol heads, celebrating the rush of speed, the thrill of the chase and the highly charged energy that comes with it.
