Load
Motel Connection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under the sun she was
I never tried
I had to aim low
Under the rain she was
I never tried
Under my skin she was
But I got the load
The song "Load" by Motel Connection seems to be about a missed opportunity. The lyrics "I had to aim low, under the sun she was, I never tried" suggest that the singer knew the woman he was interested in was within his reach, but he chose not to pursue her for whatever reason. The repetition of the phrase "I had to aim low" implies a sense of resignation or defeat, as if the singer felt that he couldn't aim higher for this woman.
The repetition of the line "under the sun/rain/my skin she was" could be interpreted as the woman being omnipresent in the singer's life, even if he didn't actively pursue her. The final line "But I got the load" is somewhat ambiguous, but could be interpreted as the singer feeling like he's carried some burden or responsibility as a result of not pursuing this woman.
Overall, the lyrics of "Load" seem to capture a sense of missed opportunity, regret, and perhaps even resignation. It's a poignant reflection on what could have been if the singer had just tried a bit harder to pursue the woman he was interested in.
