Island Time
The Lacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting in the water with a rod and reel
All my friends got to work till 5
But me I'm drinking all day, here on island time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm on island time
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I'm on island time
(1:)
Sail on, sail on to some place I've never been
Maybe meet a couple locals so I can put it in the wind?
Take a walk down the coastline, girl you looking so fine
Me and you late night, disappearing low tide
What ya say about chilling by a palm tree
Two beach towels and a Hilton motel key
Hot sun white sand beer by the case
Got my eyes set on a pair of tanned up legs.
()
Got my ole lawn chair and a cooler with wheels
Sitting in the water with a rod and reel
All my friends got to work till 5
But me I'm drinking all day, here on island time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm on island time
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I'm on island time
(2:)
I got no place to go place to be this is what I came to see
Find a girl or two or three to come and chill and drink with me
No deadlights or traffic, the hell with the static
A break I got to have it, it feels so automatic
Laid back because I'm on a cooler full of cold na
Yeah man you got to love it, fruity drinks ain't gonna cut it
Eww you got a pretty tan, eww girl you love to dance
C'mon and take my hand, its island time let's take a chance

Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm on island time
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I'm on island time
(3:)
So long, so long don't know when I'm coming home
I ain't really got no reason to be talking on my phone
I got my money saved up, we don't really need much
Just some bait for the hooks and some drink for the cups
There something about the sunrise seems so right
Baby, it don't really matter if the fish don't bite
We can try again tomorrow because we chillin on island time
Yeah!!!

The Lacs’ song Island Time is an ode to the laid-back lifestyle and carefree attitude of island living. The lyrics paint a picture of the singer enjoying a day at the beach, fishing in the water, drinking cold beer, and hanging out with friends. The first verse talks about how the singer is the only one who gets to savor the joys of island life because all his friends are at work. The chorus comes in with a catchy loop where the singer repeats that he’s on island time, reinforcing the concept of relaxation and escape from the hustle and bustle of regular life.
The second verse is more focused on the singer’s romantic endeavors, meeting new people, and living in the moment. The lyrics describe how the singer is looking for a good time and wants to forget about his troubles. The imagery of palm trees, beach towels, and hot sun paint a refreshing picture to those who may be listening from afar. The third verse emphasizes the idea of the singer not being in a hurry, with no plans to return home. He's got money saved up, and all he needs is bait, drinks, and good company.
Overall, the song Island Time portrays the feeling of enjoying life, taking it easy, and soaking up the sun, something that is at the core of the island lifestyle. Whether the listener has lived in an island all their life or not, the song's lyrics are powerful enough to make one yearn for such a carefree lifestyle.

Baby, it don't really matter if the fish don't bite
Catching fish doesn't really matter to them
We can try again tomorrow because we chillin on island time
Having plenty of time to catch fish as they're relaxing on island time
