Skateboarding Day
Eyedress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day is go skateboarding day
Cruising down the streets of LA
Where′s that pretty girl from Glendale
Skating down Hollywood
I don't even know that song at all
Never gonna go back
My love is here to stay
I just wanna go and skate
Skate all my problems away
There's that pretty girl from the day off
With you, I could never fail
Head to the sign
What was the best?
For my life
You know you're trying to
It didn′t work out
You′re trying your best
I helped everyone, but it wasn't enough
To tell you the truth
I couldn′t lie
Made it right
You know you're trying to
You know you′re trying to
I just wanna go and skate
Every day is go skateboarding day
Skate all my problems away
Where's that pretty girl from Glendale
The lyrics to Eyedress's song "Skateboarding Day" capture the exhilaration and freedom of skating through the streets of LA. The repeated refrain of "Every day is go skateboarding day" emphasizes the desire to escape into this activity and make it a constant part of life. The verses describe the sights and people encountered while skating, with a focus on a "pretty girl from Glendale" who is perhaps a love interest. The bridge seems to veer off into a more introspective tone, with lines like "It didn't work out, you're trying your best" and "I helped everyone, but it wasn't enough." Despite this, the chorus brings the listener back to the feeling of freedom and release that skating provides.
Overall, the song celebrates the joys of skateboarding as a passion and form of self-expression. The lyrics convey a sense of youthful energy and excitement, with a nod to the LA skating scene in particular. The lines about a potential love interest add a personal touch to the narrative, while the bridge hints at deeper emotions beneath the surface.
