Lorde Khalid SZA Post Malone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A couple rebel top gun pilots
Flyin' with nowhere to be, oh
Don't know you super well
But I think that you might be the same as me
Behave abnormally

Let's let things come out of the woodwork
I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies
Yeah, awesome right?
So let's let things come out of the woodwork
I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies
Seeing me rollin', showin' someone else love
Dancin' with our shoes off
Know I think you're awesome, right?

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

I wanna feel the light, pushin' our limits
Unbuckled for the ride, mhmm
We're way too far from home
Let's be honest with ourselves, we're way too high to drive
So let's take on the night
If the light is in, yeah
Open, finally, we're growin' and we're free

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

I checked your girl at the door
I sent your friend to the store
It's only me and you, finally us two
And I don't regret drinkin' this liquor, makin' you listen
Yeah, I know you don't know me well
My girl's at the door
And I left my pretense at home
And it ain't no goin' back (goin' back)

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Walk, never fall, but we still run
So pour up, pour up another one
I know, I know we on to somethin'
We got, we got a loaded gun, yeah
Go and shoot me the look in your eyes
And you're here, I'm yours, you're mine
Find each other when we're losin' our minds
Then we take it all off
You're a runaway train, yeah
And you got me so faded
And I don't wanna chase it, no
You know I think you're awesome, right?

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite, yeah, yeah
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Blowin' shit up





Now you know it's really gonna blow

Overall Meaning

The song "Homemade Dynamite" by Lorde, Khalid, Post Malone, and SZA talks about the experience of two rebel top gun pilots who have nowhere to be, behaving abnormally without knowing each other very well. The lyrics suggest they are communicating and trying to connect with each other in an attempt to discover more about themselves. The two are willing to let things come out of the woodwork and share their best sides and best lies with each other. As their connection grows stronger, they get inspired, and they blow things up with homemade DYNAMITE. They are unafraid to experiment, take risks, and ignite their passions, even if it means breaking some rules, living out their dreams, and ultimately losing control.


The song reflects a carefree, youthful spirit, and a desire for thrill and adventure. It goes on to describe how the two protagonists are too far from home and too high to drive. They're both in a state of recklessness and want to push their limits. The lyrics talk about how they are inspired by their friends, drinks, and their own imagination. The song conveys a feeling of liberation and wanting to break free of the chains of society.
