The song See You Later, by U.N.P.O.C, is a reggae tune that advises caution and respect when enjoying music. The lyrics encourage the listener to be mindful of the powerful impact of music, represented here by the band. The singer Maxi Priest warns the audience to be careful and take precautions while enjoying the music by highlighting the danger posed by such a talented and dangerous (in a good sense) band, demonstrating how the element of surprise could be harmful for people who aren’t taking caution. Maxi advises individuals to set themselves in a good position, wind up their body in slow motion, and hug their boyfriend, or even their husband, which shows the singer promoting love and respect between people.
The song describes different parts of the band's performance, from the bass drum setting the time and the snare drum setting the pace to the rhythm section chopping and the hi-hat cooking on the shot. The song seems to celebrate the band's creativity and originality, its importance in the land, and the power it has over its audience. Maxi Priest also describes the preparation that goes into putting on such shows, including rehearsal and setting up a plan. At the end of the song, Maxi Priest invites people to enjoy the music but to do so in moderation, implying that one must be cautious and show respect towards music and the musicians who make it.
