Schneider was a fan of pop music and hip hop when he was a child, but later he was attracted to the narrative aspect of country music and began singing at age 14. After meeting Brett Eldredge at a concert in the singer's hometown (Paris, Illinois), Schneider was invited to the stage by Eldredge to perform a song during the latter's performance at Terre Haute. He then began writing and playing songs in both Indiana and Nashville, Tennessee. Between 2014 and 2016, Schneider published a series of videos on YouTube of him making versions of popular country songs, which earned him attention online. The first video was published on May 18, 2014.
Two Black X's
Dylan Schneider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Singing right along
To the sound of a cover band
Sneaking sips from an ice cold blue can
With two black x's on our hands
You cut them jeans short as you could
Girl, you wear reckless so damn good
'Cause you cut them jean short as you could
Girl, I want you so bad
Just stay right where you're at
Why would I want you back
When I could have you right now, baby
Somethin' about the way you move
Just got me hooked on you
Let's make it in as long as we can
Two black x's on our hands
With two black x's on our hands
You got my heart all knit up, babe
Dancin' around like it's your stage
Don't need no beer to intoxicate me
One shot of your hips, chased with your lips
And I'm going crazy
Girl, I want you so bad
Just stay right where you're at
Why would I want you back
When I could have you right now, baby
Somethin' about the way you move
Just got me hooked on you
Let's make it in as long as we can
Two black x's on our hands
With two black x's on our hands
Girl, I want you so bad
Just stay right where you're at
Why would I want you back
When I could have you right now, baby
Somethin' about the way you move
Just got me hooked on you
Let's make it in as long as we can
Two black x's on our hands
Two black x's on our hands
Yeah
The song "Two Black X's" by Dylan Schneider is a catchy tune about two people who have sneaked alcohol into an event and who are enjoying their time together. The two black x's on their hands indicate that they are both underage and shouldn't have access to alcohol, but they are taking a risk and enjoying themselves anyway. The lyrics speak about the girl, who looks attractive in her short jeans and how the man is falling for her. He is unable to take his eyes off her, and the way she moves has him hooked.
Throughout the song, the man expresses his desire to have the girl stay just where she is, and they enjoy their time together. They are not worrying about anything, but they are solely focused on each other. The man speaks of the girl being the only thing he needs to feel intoxicated; her hips and lips are enough to drive him crazy.
The song is a lighthearted, fun-loving tune about youthful exploration and risk-taking, which is captured well by the two black x's on their hands. The lyrics describe the man's admiration and desire for the girl and how he is enjoying the time they have together. Overall, the song is catchy and enjoyable, making it the perfect background music for a fun night out.
