Theophilus London Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You get sent the fine wine deliverables and chocolate candles
It's time to live it up, oh
Horse and carrots, ride round the villa and rock chinchillas
Girl I ain't going nowhere, sit here and play cops and robbers down by the moonlight
Sunrise it's time to go, grab your phone take some pictures
Love in a modern time
Speed of light ignoring the signs
I'll race you to St. Harvest Way
It's time to live it up, oh
You get sent the fine wine deliverables and chocolate candles
Its time to live it up, oh
Matching shiny shoes dressed like Thriller and watch Godzilla
Its a lovely Sunday, sit here and crack a big ole lobster, shrimp and pasta
I seen your face when I call, grab you phone change your status
Love in modern time
Hey, if we just go for a ride (If we just go for a ride)
Speed of light ignoring the signs (Speed of light)
I'll race you to St. Harvest Way
(Oh, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, mon)
Diamonds what were sending in time (Diamonds what were sending in time)
Illusions they can fall through the mind (Fall in your mind)
Hey lookout go the other way
(Hey c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Hey, it's time to live it up, oh
Alright I want to introduce you to Mr. London
Take the night out I've been wondering
Hit the coast, and cruise the beach
Cop the flavor, taste like peach
Conversations go your way, talk to me take it to the U.K
T.N.T. consider the topic it's the function for why I'm in the tropics
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
Hey
(Not one place) If we just go for a ride (not one time)
(Read my face and drink your wine) Speed of light ignoring the signs
(Speed of light) I'll race you to St. Harvest Way
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Hey (Not one place) Diamonds what were sending in time (not one time)
(Read my face and drink your wine) Illusions they can fall through the mind
(Fall in your mind)
Hey lookout go the other way
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Hey
The lyrics to Theophilus London's song Wine and Chocolate introduce the idea of living life to the fullest, indulging in luxurious goods and experiences. The lines "You get sent the fine wine deliverables and chocolate candles" and "Matching shiny shoes dressed like Thriller and watch Godzilla" speak to the opulence that the singer is experiencing. The chorus urges the listener to live in the moment and take risks, as represented by the lines "If we just go for a ride, speed of light ignoring the signs, I'll race you to St. Harvest Way." The song also touches on modern romance, as the singer encourages his partner to take pictures to remember their love in a modern time, and mentions changing social media statuses as a way to express their committed relationship.
