Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been sad most of my life
Since you left me
There is not much left to love
But I've been thinking
I think it's time to cheer things up
Oh lover lover
Like why our ribs they, look a lot like prison bars
But I've been thinking
I think it's time to cheer things up in here
So let's toast for all the bad times
Toast for all the hard nights
Toast for all the douchebags that's been breaking our hearts
Toast for too much feelings
Toast for all our demons
Cause honey bunny one day we'll be gone
So we better TOAST
Oh papa papa
You know I can't just shake things of
But I see the lows now
As a trampoline straight up
Cause I've been thinking
I think it's time to live for once
So let's toast for all the bad times
Toast for all the hard nights
Toast for all the douchebags that's been breaking our hearts
Let's toast for too much feelings
Toast for all our demons
Cause honey bunny one day we'll be gone
So we better TOAST
The Smith & Thell song "Toast" is a heartfelt anthem about taking life's challenges and turning them into positive experiences. The lyrics begin with the singer addressing their mother, expressing the sadness they have felt since her departure from their life. The singer suggests that there isn't much left to love in their life, but they have been considering the idea of changing their outlook and cheering things up. The next verse addresses a lover who has taught the singer profound insights about the heart, including comparing the ribs to prison bars. The singer again expresses their desire to turn their life around and create a more positive environment.
The chorus urges listeners to celebrate life's difficult moments and undesirable experiences by toasting to them. The singer suggests toasting to the bad times, hard nights, douchebags who have broken hearts, too many feelings, and our demons because, in the end, life is fleeting, and we may as well toast before we're gone. In the final verse, the singer addresses their father, expressing that they can't shake things off, but they view the lows they've experienced as a trampoline that they can use to propel them forward. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, urging listeners to celebrate life's ups and downs by toasting.

Soulprints is my number one album of the year 2017 so far. I really love it. It's like getting a kiss from a girl who I have always been interested of. It makes you really happy and you suddenly forget all the bad things ever happened in your life.

Smith and Thell are very underrated, they could actually write a song about bread and I'd still listen to it every night before going to bed.
