Their music is described as a casually-indefinable, artistic paradise of its own, built upon a bedrock of lush electronic tones and analog textures, stomp-and-clap guitars and heart-swelling vocals.

Tell me everything you know; tell me something new
I wanna drive to El Dorado, straight into the sun
Cause you're strapped around my side; they're rising in your eyes
I hear Bob Marley's playing on the radio
Well, Bob Marley's playing on the radio
I wanna move in close; girl, don't you tell me no
Bob Marley's playing on the radio
This is a great unknown; open road is my home
With the top down, we'll find the gateway to stars
This is a great unknown; I was a rolling stone
This could be love, oh
Bob Marley's playing on the radio
Well, Bob Marley's playing on the radio
I wanna move in close; girl, don't you tell me no
Bob Marley's playing on the radio
I feel alive cause
Bob Marley's playing on the radio
Well, Bob Marley's playing on the radio
I wanna move in close; girl, don't you tell me no
Bob Marley's playing on the radio
The lyrics to Grizfolk's "Bob Marley" paint a picture of a carefree road trip with a lover, with Bob Marley's music serving as the perfect soundtrack to their adventure. The first two lines set the scene of the highway stretching out ahead, and the singer seeking new knowledge and experiences. The mention of El Dorado and driving into the sun evoke a sense of discovery and adventure. Meanwhile, the person they're with is described as being "strapped around my side," suggesting they're close and intimate.
The chorus repeats the idea that Bob Marley is playing on the radio, as if it's a kind of mantra for the journey, and the singer also expresses a desire to move in closer to their partner. The second verse continues the theme of the open road being the singer's home, and that the drive is a journey to the stars, perhaps implying that the road trip is more than just a physical journey, but a spiritual or emotional one as well.
The mention of Bob Marley throughout the song could signify a few things. For one, his music is often associated with good vibes, and could be seen as a symbol for the joy and positivity the singer feels on their trip. Additionally, Bob Marley was known for his messages of unity and love, and that message could be resonating with the singer and their feelings towards their partner.
Overall, "Bob Marley" is a song about adventure, love, and the power of music to accompany and enhance life's experiences.
