Hawaii
Hard Core Logo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go get drunk in the sun
I wanna lay on Wai Kee Kee
Get sun on my butt
Running from the rain
1000 miles on the run
Making like the rich
And headed for fun
Lets go to fucking Tahiti
Lets head for the beach
Hey man where you get those onion rings (?)
Say to name the bitch
Running from the rain
1000 miles on the run
Making like the rich
And headed for fun
Chilly evenings (?)
Calm in the air
747
Drunk to the roof
Working all summer
Saving my money
So I can be warm
Lets go to fucking Miami
And lounge on the beach
I gotta little bit of Rum 'n Tea
Chillin' on the Georgia beach
Running from the rain
1000 miles on the run
Making like the rich
And headed for fun
Lets go to fucking Las Vegas!
Blow a wad in the sun
Go to the south to have a party
Fall down we'll get it done
Running from the rain
Got the cops on the run
Making like the rich
And headed for fun
Chilly evenings
Calm in the air
747
Drunk to the roof
Working all summer
Saving my money
So I can be warm
Lets go to fucking Hawaii
Lets go to fucking Hawaii
The lyrics to Hard Core Logo's song "Hawaii" are straightforward and explicitly express a desire to leave behind the dreariness of everyday life and head to a tropical paradise, drinking in the sun and indulging in the hedonistic pleasures that come with it. The singer yearns to escape from the rain and monotony of mundane existence by going on a journey of nearly a thousand miles, immersing themselves in the luxurious, vacationing lives of the wealthy, without a care in the world. The lyrics repeat the refrain, "Running from the rain, making like the rich, and headed for fun," emphasizing the desire for an escape from reality and the pursuit of enjoyment, without the reservations of the everyday.
The lyrics highlight the allure and escapism that is brought about by tropical getaways. The singer craves the warmth and freedom from the constraints of daily life, as evident in the line, "Working all summer, saving my money, so I can be warm." The figurative "warmth" of a tropical destination, with its sunny beaches and endless drinks, seems more attractive than the mundane and monotonous "coolness" of everyday existence. The song is deliberately simple and repetitive, emphasizing the persistent yearning for escape and the longing for an environment full of leisure, relaxation, and indulgence.
