The Best
Galantis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the back of your car
Didn't care where we are
We were going too fast
Said it won't be the last
Told you that was the best
Our body's dancing to the moonlight
We light it up until we get high
Yeah, we look like a mess
I told you that was the best
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you, I told you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best
I told you, I told you (hey)
I told you (hey)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best
(That was the best, the best, the best)
(That was the best, the best, the best)
When we looked at the stars
In the back of your car
Didn't care where we are
We were going too fast
Said it won't be the last
Told you that was the best
Our body's dancing to the moonlight
We kick our shoes off and it's alright
We light it up until we get high
Yeah, we look like a mess
I told you that was the best
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you, I told you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best
I told you, I told you (hey)
I told you (hey)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best
The lyrics to Galantis Hook N Sling's song "The Best" describe a moment shared between two people where they were stargazing in the back of a car and didn't care where they were going, only that they were going too fast. They talk about how they danced to the moonlight and kicked off their shoes. They made a mess, but it was alright because it was "the best." The chorus repeats several times with the lyrics "I told you that was the best." The lyrics are straightforward and tell a simple story of a happy memory.
The song could be interpreted as a nostalgic remembrance of a happy memory, perhaps from a romantic relationship or a close friendship. The lines about kicking off our shoes and dancing to the moonlight evoke a carefree feeling of youth and freedom. The repetition of "I told you that was the best" could be interpreted as a desire to hold onto that moment as the best thing that happened to them.

When we looked at the stars
As we layed in the back of your car and admired the bright, celestial objects in the sky
In the back of your car
We were comfortable while basking in the beautiful night sky
Didn't care where we are
Our whereabouts were insignificant because our focus was on the moment and each other
We were going too fast
We indulged in risky behavior and lived in the moment without much thought for the consequences
Said it won't be the last
We both knew this moment was special, and we would want to experience it again
Told you that was the best
I expressed to you that this was one of the greatest times I've ever had
Our body's dancing to the moonlight
We were embracing the music and letting our bodies move freely to the tunes brought by the night
We kick our shoes off and it's alright
We let loose and took our shoes off, letting ourselves be free from the constraints of societal norms
We light it up until we get high
We let ourselves indulge in substances that heightened our senses and let us experience the night in a different way
Yeah, we look like a mess
We both knew that we probably looked unkempt and uncoordinated, but we didn't care as we were enjoying ourselves too much
I told you, I told you
I made sure to emphasize to you the significance of that moment and how much it meant to me
I told you that was the best
I reiterated the fact that this moment was one of the most memorable in my life
