LAX
Jonathan Holmquist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have brand new car where the keys at
Green Jag
And I just might switch off my phone
And my liver is gone all I drink is Protone
And I can′t even walk will I ever get home
And I'm better than Moe′s
Writin' it on Yucca Street let it be known
Marlboro in a mall bruh
Being around me is a na-nah
Need a drink for starter
Then I hit the Mary Jane, Peter Parker
Woke up without a memory
Out in Italy where the bitches be
Woke up without a memory
On Yucca Street
The first few lines of the song 'LAX' by Jonathan Holmquist is a depiction of a weekend retreat at a beach house. The singer talks about having a new car and a green Jag, but cannot seem to find the car keys. He then mentions wanting to switch off his phone to escape the real world. The next line, "And my liver is gone all I drink is Protone," could suggest that the singer is looking to forget his problems and is resorting to drinking excessively.
The following line, "And I can't even walk will I ever get home," illuminates the reality of the singer's drunken state. He might not even know if he'll be able to make it home or how he'll get there. The last line of this stanza mentions that the singer is "Writin' it on Yucca Street let it be known." This could mean that the singer is writing about his experiences on Yucca Street, an infamous location in Hollywood where many creative minds reside.
In the second part of the song, the singer mentions smoking a Marlboro in a mall and how being around him is "na-nah." He then talks about needing a drink before smoking marijuana, referencing Peter Parker, the owner of the superhero alter-ego Spiderman. The singer states that he wakes up without memory in Italy where apparently, the women are beautiful. The song concludes with the singer waking up without memory again, and he reiterates the phrase 'On Yucca Street.'
