WILD MOTION
Drugdealer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two coastlines settle in your gaze, you fell asleep for days, but you don't mind.
They rush to take their time, shooting around the lines, thats what they do.
Tin can philosophies, the original novelty thats what you are.
Wine and liquor pouring down your drain, it settles on your brain, what a great escape.
I never learned to love no one, focused on having fun.
They rush to take their time, shooting around the lines, thats what they do.
Tin can philosophies, the original novelty thats what you are.
First scene of your tragedy, sorry for laughing at you.
They over intellectualize, but you taught them how to improvise, didn't you.
The lyrics to Drugdealer's song Wild Motion convey a sense of freedom and escapism. The opening lines suggest that the wild motion running through one's life can ease the mind, but also highlights the importance of sometimes being still. The following lines talk about two coastlines settling in one's gaze, and falling asleep for days without minding. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for getting lost in the moment and not worrying about the outside world. The chorus emphasizes the rush to take their time, shooting around the lines, which can refer to living life to the fullest without worry or constraint. This is reinforced in the subsequent lines that mention tin can philosophies, highlighting the idea of living in the moment without worrying about the future.
The second half of the song shifts to a focus on alcohol and substance use as a means of escape. The lyrics mention wine and liquor pouring down the drain, settling on the brain, and never learning to love anyone, only focused on having fun. This can be seen as a commentary on the superficiality of some lifestyles and the dangers of using substances in excess.
The final lines reference a tragedy and laughing at the person who experienced it. This can be interpreted as a reflection on the shallowness of some people and their tendency to over-intellectualize situations. The lines also suggest that the person who experienced the tragedy taught them how to improvise, highlighting the resilience and strength of those who have gone through difficult times.
