Traveling
Luke James & Nu Deco Ensemble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That if we love each other
If we're patient with each other
If we bring back the compassion with each other
Then we'll see the blessing
Get bigger and better and stronger and greater
Because we were created to be blessed
Everywhere we go it's a paradise
Looks like sunlight and blue skies
Ready to take off right, yeah
This feel in this hotel room is my ride
These Versace sheets might as well be my clouds
Up here where I hear my thoughts out loud
Open spaces don't end, wow
And I won't miss life on the ground
Can't imagine not goin' nowhere
They don't want us to go
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, my golden brown skin is so rare (wow)
Ohh
Feel that wind blowing through my good hair
Take me there
Traveling
Only want to go where you can take me
Traveling
There's so much to see on the other side of a picture
I'm a drifter
I was wondering can you take me with ya?
Traveling
Everywhere we go is a paradise
Drift, drift, drifting away from here
Ohh ahh
Drift, drift, drifting away from here
(Mmmh ahh)
Reality as we know it is dead
All in one night our seconds turn right into years
I see white lines, baby, you'll understand
Ain't no gravity
We don't have to land
Open spaces don't end, wow
And I won't miss life on the ground
Can't imagine not goin' nowhere
They don't want us to go
Oh no no
Oh, our golden brown skin is so rare (wow)
Ohh
Feel that wind blowing through our good hair
Take me there (take me there0
Traveling (ahh)
Only want to go where you can take me
Traveling (alright)
There's so much to see on the other side of the picture
I'm a drifter
I was wondering can you take me with ya? (Yeah)
Traveling (alright)
Everywhere we go is a paradise (yeah)
'Cause when we sittin' on the couch
We venture from the South
When you in my arms Australia
It just ain't word of mouth
Amsterdam is when we roll up
And we smoke out and chill
Ice cold under my arms
We in Sweden on a real
Or in Hawaii on a hill
Or a mountain by the Ville
Paris for the summer
Or rainfalls in Brazil
We'll do Cuba for the future
Or India for Kamasutra
Dr for the weekend
Jamaica wit a cooler on the beach
I feel like love the only language we should speak
If this is Africa I'm your king, you my queen
Buy land that's in between
Bought a yacht and cause a scene
Somewhere close to Medellin
China walk the wall, Japan for a fling
Mount Olympus in the clouds
Is where I chisel out your ring
The tombs of the pyramids, I paint between the seams
A love that went farther than bikes
Cars, planes, and spaceships with high beams
Traveling
Traveling
(I'm a drifter)
(I'm a drifter)
(I'm a drifter)
The lyrics of "Traveling" by Luke James & Nu Deco Ensemble speak to the power of love, connection, and exploration. The song encourages listeners to open their hearts, be patient with each other, and foster compassion in order to experience the blessings that life has to offer.
The opening lines express the desire to make someone else understand the transformative nature of love. By coming together, being patient, and bringing compassion to the relationship, the blessings become bigger, better, and stronger. The lyrics suggest that human beings were created to be blessed, and everywhere they go can be a paradise.
The second verse creates a vivid imagery of being in a hotel room, with sunlight shining and blue skies outside. The feeling in the room becomes a metaphorical ride, with the luxurious Versace sheets representing clouds. The lyrics convey a sense of freedom and escape from the constraints of everyday life, as the open spaces seem endless. There is a yearning to explore new places, and a refusal to settle for a stagnant existence on the ground. The golden brown skin and the wind blowing through the hair symbolize the joy and uniqueness of embracing one's identity while traveling.
The chorus emphasizes the longing to travel and see new things. It suggests that the other side of a picture holds a wealth of experiences waiting to be discovered. The singer identifies themselves as a drifter, someone who embraces the nomadic lifestyle and wonders if their partner can join them on their journey. Every place they go is described as a paradise, highlighting the optimism and beauty that can be found in the world.
The bridge of the song takes a more fantastical turn, suggesting that reality as we know it is dead. The lyrics play with the concept of time, implying that in a single night, seconds can feel like years. The singer mentions seeing white lines and refers to a lack of gravity, suggesting the idea of floating and freedom from earthly limitations. There is a sense of liberation from mundane existence, with the belief that they don't have to land, physically or metaphorically.
The third verse contains a series of travel references, mentioning various locations and activities. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple journeying together, experiencing different cultures and places. The mention of different countries and activities highlights the diversity and richness of the world while emphasizing the universality of love. The lyrics indicate that love should be the only language spoken, and it has the power to transcend boundaries and create a sense of royalty and unity.
In conclusion, "Traveling" explores the themes of love, adventure, and the search for paradise. It encourages individuals to embrace love, compassion, and patience in order to unlock the blessings that life has to offer. The song celebrates the joy and freedom found in exploring new places, both physically and emotionally, and highlights the transformative power of love and connection.

Embarking on a journey
Only want to go where you can take me
I solely desire to explore the locations you can lead me to
Traveling
Venturing into the unknown
There's so much to see on the other side of a picture
A plethora of wonders await beyond what is captured in a mere image
I'm a drifter
I am a wanderer
I was wondering can you take me with ya?
I was curious if you would accompany me on this journey
Everywhere we go is a paradise
Each destination we visit becomes a paradise
Drift, drift, drifting away from here
Slowly drifting and moving away from our current location
Reality as we know it is dead
The familiar reality has ceased to exist
All in one night our seconds turn right into years
Within a single night, time accelerates exponentially
I see white lines, baby, you'll understand
I perceive streaks of white, darling, and you will comprehend their significance
Ain't no gravity
There is no force of gravity
We don't have to land
There is no need for us to touch the ground
'Cause when we sittin' on the couch
Because even when we are relaxing on the couch
We venture from the South
We mentally explore beyond our current location
When you in my arms Australia
When you are in my embrace, it feels like being in Australia
It just ain't word of mouth
This experience is not mere hearsay, but a tangible reality
Amsterdam is when we roll up
Amsterdam signifies the moment we arrive
And we smoke out and chill
We indulge in relaxation and leisurely activities
Ice cold under my arms
A sensation of coolness beneath my arms
We in Sweden on a real
We find ourselves in a genuine experience in Sweden
Or in Hawaii on a hill
Or maybe on a hill in Hawaii
Or a mountain by the Ville
Perhaps a mountain near the Ville

Dr for the weekend
A short getaway to the Dominican Republic

Love seems to be the only language we truly need
If this is Africa I'm your king, you my queen
If this location is Africa, I hereby declare myself your king and you, my queen
Buy land that's in between
Let's acquire property situated between different places
Bought a yacht and cause a scene
We purchased a yacht and attracted attention
Somewhere close to Medellin
Somewhere near Medellin, Colombia
China walk the wall, Japan for a fling
Visiting China to walk the Great Wall, and having a brief affair in Japan
Mount Olympus in the clouds
Ascending to the mythical Mount Olympus amidst the clouds
Is where I chisel out your ring
In that ethereal location, I will craft your ring symbolically
The tombs of the pyramids, I paint between the seams
I artistically depict the tombs within the pyramids, paying attention to the smallest details
A love that went farther than bikes
A love that exceeded the boundaries of bicycles
Cars, planes, and spaceships with high beams
Even surpassing the realms of cars, planes, and futuristic spaceships with powerful lights
Traveling
Continuing to explore various destinations
Traveling
Wandering and moving forward
(I'm a drifter)
(I am a wanderer)
(I'm a drifter)
(I am a wanderer)
