Hardwell On Air
Hardwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pretty soon itll all turn to dust
so get up
forget the past
go outside
have a blast
go a thousand miles in a jet airplane
go out of your mind go insane
to a place you never been before
eat ice cream our youll lick the floor
cuz, the end of the earth is upon us
pretty soon it'll all turn to dust
goodbye my friends
goodbye world
i'll see you in the next life
The lyrics of Hardwell's "Hardwell on Air" intro address the idea of the world coming to an end. The singer, whose voice sounds nearly robotic, seems to be urging listeners to forget the past and seize the moment. He suggests that with the end of the earth so close, people should go outside and have a blast, even going so far as to jump on a jet airplane and travel thousands of miles away.
The lyrics capture a sense of urgency and recklessness, emphasizing the idea that we have nothing to lose because the end is near. The repetition of the phrase "the end of the earth is upon us" reinforces this message, while the line "eat ice cream or you'll lick the floor" suggests that anything goes when there's no tomorrow.
