40's
River Ratts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just been smoking
I′m feeling to anxious
To function
Yeah she tells me she loves me
But she's not in love with me
We're to toxic
To function
And I give it up
Yes I give it up
Because I always thought that
She belonged.
With the rich and the gorgeous
Not here
My dear
And as much as she seems like fire
Oh she′s so cold my dear.
Let′s get some 40's
I just been smoking
I′m feeling to anxious
To function
Yeah she tell me she loves me
But she's not in love with me
We′re to toxic
To function
But then she wants my love
And I give it up
Yes I give it up
Because I always thought that
She belonged.
With the rich and the gorgeous
Not here
My dear
And as much as she seems like fire
Oh she's so cold my dear.
Give me just one night
Give me just one more night
Give me just one more
And I′II be alright
Yes I know, I know
I know I've said this before
Baila conmigo, baila conmigo,
Baila conmigo amor.
Baila conmigo, baila conmigo,
Baila conmigo amor,
Una vez mas,
Una vez mas.
Baila conmigo, baila conmigo,
Baila conmigo amor.
The song "40's" by River Ratts talks about a toxic relationship where the singer feels anxious and unsure. He believes that the girl he is with deserves someone rich and gorgeous, someone far better than him. He admits that they are toxic to each other and that the girl does not love him, but merely tells him so. He feels trapped and powerless because he loves her but knows he deserves better. Despite this, he wants just one more night with her, hoping it will make him feel okay again.
The chorus is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the singer's angst and mirror-like relationship with the girl. He craves alcohol to feel better and to deal with his anxiety. His insecurities make him feel like the girl is too hot to handle, even though she is emotionally disconnected from him. The girl is a paradox of fire and cold, making the singer feel like he is walking on thin ice.
Overall, the song talks about the complex emotions of a toxic relationship. The characters are not right for each other, but they cannot seem to leave each other. The singer's insecurities and anxiety make him feel like he does not deserve the girl, who seems to be both hot and cold. The song conveys the message that sometimes, even when you love someone, it is better to let them go.
