Edwin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel original
I think I want some
And we`re going down down
Oh yeh we`re goin' down down
I cause the right hook
In the star above
I like your dirty looks
And we`re going down down
Oh yeh we`re goin' down down
Oh yes i`m goin' down down
Oh huh we`re goin' down down
Oh no
And we`re going down down
And we`re goin' down down
Try to have some fun I smokin' shotgun
I feel original
I think I want some
I cause the right hook
In the star above
I did bathe me
I like your dirty looks
Down
The lyrics of Edwin's song Shotgun reflects the idea of living life to the fullest and having fun while doing it. The phrase "smokin' shotgun" could imply that the singer is letting loose and having a good time. The line "I feel original" suggests that the singer is unique and one-of-a-kind, and the phrase "I think I want some" implies that he's hungry for more experiences.
The chorus "And we're going down down" implies that the singer and his companions are on a journey to a destination of fun, and they're all in it together. The line "I cause the right hook in the star above" seems to suggest that the singer is causing a stir and getting noticed by people (represented by the "star above").
The lyrics "I did bathe me, I like your dirty looks" suggest that the singer is drawn to something different or outside of the norm. It can be interpreted as a person who embraces their individuality and doesn't conform to societal norms. The song's overall message seems to be about living life in a way that's true to oneself and not worrying about what others think.

Great album! Bought it from the local music shop and it took me over for several months following. I was expecting an average solo album (Edwin had left 'I Mother Earth'), but this was a solid album you could listen to straight through to the end. Then, my sister and I saw him live at a college campus -- a small venue and a small crowd, but he and his band were amazing. Rock-solid music!
