Ray Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Droom verlore
'n Wonder bo wonder
Werk soos die hitte van die somer
Warmer as warm
Ek smelt in jou hande
Jy weet jy is meer as 'n 10
Ek weet ek sal jou nooit kan verdien
Dis net kwessie van tyd
Dan gaan ek jou date
Oho o ho want 'n girl soos jy
Oho o ho is te goed vir my
Baby ek wil jou nou vir die hele wêreld wys
Jou naam hier op my hart soos 'n tatoo skryf
Oho o ho want 'n girl soos jy
Oho o ho is soos goud vir my
Baby jy is myne voor die klok gaan slaan
Hierdie skoen gaan pas
Trek hom aan
Trek hom aan
Jy maak golwe op die water
En jy trek my nader
Hoor jy my hartklop
Tik hier soos 'n tydbom
Draai my om jou pinkie
Om en om op die dansvloer
Ek dink dis tyd dat ons soen
Ek het nou alles gedoen
Ja girl jy weet dis vir ons bedoel
Dis net 'n kwessie van tyd
Dan gaan ons twee date
Oho o ho want 'n girl soos jy
Oho o ho is te goed vir my
Baby ek wil jou nou vir die hele wêreld wys
Jou naam hier op my hart soos 'n tatoo skryf
Oho o ho want 'n girl soos jy
Oho o ho is soos goud vir my
Baby jy is myne voor die klok gaan slaan
Hierdie skoen gaan pas
Trek hom aan
Trek hom aan
Jy weet ek kan nie sonder jou
Ek kan nie sonder jou nie
The lyrics of "Hierdie Skoen Gaan Pas" by Ray Dylan feat. Brendan Peyper are about the singer's infatuation with someone they find incredibly attractive. The singer compares their crush to a sweet kiss in the morning and claims that they melt in the person's hands. The song then continues to describe the person's beauty and how they feel like they don't deserve to be with them. Despite this feeling, the singer wants to show their crush off to the world and write their name on their heart like a tattoo.
The second verse continues to describe the person's allure, saying that they make waves on the water and draw the singer closer. The pre-chorus repeats the sentiment that the person is too good for them, but they want to go on a date. The chorus repeats the idea that this shoe (metaphorically representing the relationship) fits perfectly, and they should put it on.
Overall, the song is about being smitten with someone and wanting to express that feeling despite feeling unworthy of the person's attention. It portrays the desperation of wanting to be with someone and feeling like they are too good for you.
