Shotgun
George Ezra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta hit the road, gotta hit the road
Something changed in the atmosphere
Architecture unfamiliar
I could get used to this
Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you'll see what I mean
If you need me you know where I'll be
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone (someone, someone)
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone
We're south of the Equator, navigator
Gotta hit the road, gotta hit the road
Deep sea diving 'round the clock, bikini bottoms, lager tops
I could get used to this
Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you'll see what I mean
There's a mountaintop that I'm dreaming of
If you need me you know where I'll be
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone (someone, someone)
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone
We got two in the front (hey)
Two in the back (hey)
Sailing along
And we don't look back (back, back)
Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you'll see what I mean
There's a mountaintop that I'm dreaming of
If you need me you know where I'll be
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone (someone)
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone (someone)
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone, a someone, a someone, a some
The lyrics to "Shotgun" by George Ezra are about the joy of being on the open road and exploring new places. The song starts with the line "homegrown alligator, see you later" which sets the mood for the singer hitting the road and leaving their home behind. They are excited about something changing in the atmosphere and the unfamiliar architecture around them. Despite not knowing where they are, the singer says they could get used to this feeling of adventure.
The song continues to describe the freedom and excitement that comes with being on the road. The singer describes a mountaintop that they dream of reaching and if anyone is looking for them, they'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun. The chorus repeats the phrase "feeling like a someone" which suggests that while on the road, the singer feels important and valued, perhaps more so than in their everyday life. The song ends with the lines "a someone, a someone, a someone, someone" which reinforces this idea of self-importance and individuality.
The overall message of the song is one of adventure, escapism, and freedom. It's about the joy of travelling and experiencing new places, and the feeling of being alive in the moment.

No Banco Da Frente
Jacaré crescido em casa, te vejo depois
Preciso pegar a estrada, preciso pegar a estrada
Algo mudou na atmosfera
Arquitetura desconhecida
Eu poderia me acostumar com isso
O tempo voa no verde e amarelo
Fique por aqui e verá o que quero dizer
Há um topo de montanha do qual estou sonhando
Se você precisar de mim, sabe onde estarei
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
O Sul do Equador, navegante
Preciso pegar a estrada, preciso pegar a estrada
24 horas de mergulho em alto mar, biquínis, cervejas
Eu poderia me acostumar com isso
O tempo voa no verde e amarelo
Fique por aqui e verá o que quero dizer
Há um topo de montanha do qual estou sonhando
Se você precisar de mim, sabe onde estarei
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Nós temos dois na frente
Dois atrás
Navegando
E não olhamos para trás
O tempo voa no verde e amarelo
Fique por aqui e verá o que quero dizer
Há um topo de montanha do qual estou sonhando
Se você precisar de mim, sabe onde estarei
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém
Eu estarei no banco da frente, debaixo do sol quente
Me sentindo como se fosse alguém.
