The Upwelling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's ride
Let's ride
Let's ride
Rev the Lamborghini, roll up in a blue bikini
Bitches on the beaches lookin' super cute and freaky
All my friends are princesses
We keep it rich and creamy
Because we like to keep it freezy Lam-to-Lamborghini, girls out on the right side
Chauffeur stayed at home because my girl wanted to ride
Lookin' lux and tastin' plux,
I'm feelin' so alive
Want to take it to the highway, come on, let's go for a drive
All my life, I've been waiting for a good time, a good time
Let me ride, let me ride
All my life, I've been waiting for a good time, a good time
So let me ride, let me ride Let me ride, let me ride
All my life, I've been waiting for a good time
So let's ride
Vroom vroom
Bitches know they can't catch me Vroom vroom
Cute, sexy and my ride's sporty Vroom vroom
Those slugs, no they can't catch me
Beep beep, so let's ride
Vroom vroom
Bitches know they can't catch me Vroom vroom
Cute, sexy and my ride's sporty Vroom vroom
Those slugs, no they can't catch me
Beep beep, so let's ride
Let's ride
Let's ride
Let's ride
Let's ride
Bubblegum-pink Ferrari, yeah I'm so bossy
Sneak in like
Alonzo just to crash your party People are goin' loco when I'm pullin' up to your party
Don't think about consequences Cause they're never gonna stop me, what?
All my life, I've been waiting for a good time, a good time
Let me ride,
let me ride
All my life, I've been waiting for a good time, a good time
So let me ride,
let me ride
Let me ride,
let me ride
All my life, I've been waiting for a good time
So let's ride
Vroom vroom
Bitches know they can't catch me Vroom vroom
Cute, sexy and my ride's sporty Vroom vroom
Those slugs, no they can't catch me
Beep beep, so let's ride
Vroom vroom
Bitches know they can't catch me Vroom vroom
Cute, sexy and my ride's sporty Vroom vroom
Those slugs, no they can't catch me
Beep beep, so let's ride
Boom, boom, boom
Hear me coming through the radio Watch me go zoom, zoom, zoom
Try to catch me but you're too slow Boom, boom, boom
Hear me coming through the radio Watch me go zoom, zoom, zoom
Try to catch me but you're too slow
The Upwelling's song "Losers" is a high-energy, upbeat track that conveys the thrill of living life to the fullest. The lyrics describe the singer and their friends driving around in a Lamborghini, revving the engine and feeling alive. The singer is confident and self-assured, with a sense of superiority over others who can't keep up with them. They're out for a good time and not concerned about consequences, as they believe nothing can stop them. The repeated refrain of "let's ride" emphasizes the sense of freedom and spontaneity that the singer embodies.
The imagery used in the song evokes a sense of luxury and extravagance. The Lamborghini, the blue bikini, the princesses, and the ice cubes on their tongues all suggest a hedonistic lifestyle. The singer announces their arrival at parties, causing others to go "loco," and boasts about sneaking in like Alonzo (presumably a reference to the character played by Denzel Washington in the film "Training Day"). The tone of the lyrics is playful and carefree, with a touch of rebellion and attitude.
One interpretation of the song is that it's a celebration of youth and vitality, with the Lamborghini serving as a metaphor for the singer's sense of power and control. The line "all my life, I've been waiting for a good time" suggests that the singer has been waiting for an opportunity to let loose and have fun, and now they're finally able to do so. The repetition of the phrase "let me ride" reinforces the idea of taking charge and seizing the moment. Overall, the song encourages listeners to embrace their own sense of adventure and to live life to the fullest.

Let's ride
Let's have a good time and take a ride
Rev the Lamborghini, roll up in a blue bikini
I drive a luxury car with attractive companions
Bitches on the beaches lookin' super cute and freaky
We are surrounded by attractive and adventurous women
All my friends are princesses
I only associate with privileged and wealthy people
We keep it rich and creamy
We indulge in luxurious and extravagant experiences
Ice cubes on our tongues, Because we like to keep it freezy
We enjoy the sensation of coldness and decadence
Lam-to-Lamborghini, girls out on the right side
My car is expensive and flashy with beautiful passengers
Chauffeur stayed at home because my girl wanted to ride
We are independent and do not need a driver
Lookin' lux and tastin' plux, I'm feelin' so alive
We feel alive and invigorated by our luxurious lifestyle
Want to take it to the highway, come on, let's go for a drive
We desire to push the limits of our speed and luxury
All my life, I've been waiting for a good time, a good time
I have always craved pleasure and excitement
Let me ride, let me ride
Let me live my life to the fullest
Vroom vroom, Bitches know they can't catch me
I am confident in my speed and allure
Cute, sexy and my ride's sporty
I embody attraction and agility
Those slugs, no they can't catch me
Others cannot match my lifestyle and appeal
Beep beep, so let's ride
Let's have fun on our own terms
Bubblegum-pink Ferrari, yeah I'm so bossy
I am dominant and powerful with my flashy car
Sneak in like Alonzo just to crash your party
I am daring and unafraid to disrupt others' events
People are goin' loco when I'm pullin' up to your party
I am the center of attention and excitement
Don't think about consequences Cause they're never gonna stop me, what?
I do not consider the repercussions of my actions, as they do not hinder my enjoyment
Boom, boom, boom, Hear me coming through the radio
I am confident in my presence and impact
Watch me go zoom, zoom, zoom, Try to catch me but you're too slow
No one can match my speed and energy
