Hydroplane
Thingy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La da dumb la da dumb dumb
Chica chica chic
la da dumb la da dumb dumb
La da dumb la da dumb dumb
Chica chica chic
I would put my foot down
I'd accelerate happily
I would tear the brake out
On an icy road and
hydroplane into the sun for you
Hydroplane into the sun for you
The lyrics of Thingy's song Hydroplane are a bit cryptic but overall seem to express a willingness to risk everything for someone. The repeated refrain of "la da dumb la da dumb dumb" and "chica chica chic" gives a carefree, almost childlike quality to the singer's desire to do whatever it takes to please the person they are addressing.
The first verse expresses a desire to take risks for this person by driving recklessly, tearing out the brakes and hydroplaning into the sun for them. The image of hydroplaning, or losing control on a wet road, indicates the danger the singer is willing to face. It's unclear whether the "you" being addressed is reciprocating the singer's feelings, but the tone is one of eagerness to please and a willingness to risk everything.
Overall, the song seems to capture the rush of intense emotion that comes with infatuation or love, and the willingness to take huge risks in pursuit of that feeling. The lyrics are intentionally repetitive and somewhat nonsensical, perhaps to emphasize the irrationality of the singer's desire.
