Smoke
Wh1te W0lf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately I've been feeling like I'm in a different time zone
Shit be hitting different
When you see things with your eyes closed
I know you got me feeling like the wind baby
My mind's blown I know
Crushing the leaves then I roll em up
Pour some more Hendricks inside my cup
Consistently trying to push my luck
Cut me loose now
I just want a truce now
But you hit me sideways like a Friday
Getting fucked up on the highway my way
I'm a rastafari
The way I'm living my life
Can’t see beyond smoke
So I keep my eyes closed
And my mind is in the sky
While my fight is hard to find
I'm simply livin life
But I keep my eyes closed
Hittin my phone think lil shawty want smoke make headway
Watch me put that shit in the oven real quick
Gonna wait my turn while the bread bake
No strain on a muscle to hustle that strain
But I hear some claim I'm a head case
But I move so smooth like a segway
And I was only their muse no deadweight fuck em
I think better days
While my eyes ablaze
Cause the strain gonna pick me up
Every day need a pick me up
Cause every day I dont give a fuck
Loose leaf
Bring me back
From the dead
Girl I'm burnin all the time
You're another toke wasted
I'm a rastafari
The way I'm living my life
Can’t see beyond smoke
So I keep my eyes closed
And my mind is in the sky
While my fight is hard to find
I'm simply livin life
But I keep my eyes closed
I'm a rastafari
The way I'm living my life
Can’t see beyond smoke
So I keep my eyes closed
And my mind is in the sky
While my fight is hard to find
I'm simply livin life
But I keep my eyes closed
The lyrics of "Smoke" by Wh1te W0lf delve into the singer's state of mind and their escapism through smoking. The opening lines, "Where has my mind gone, Lately I've been feeling like I'm in a different time zone," express a sense of disorientation and detachment from reality. The singer suggests that things feel different when they see them with their eyes closed, implying a desire to escape from the world's troubles and find solace in their own thoughts.
The chorus, "I'm a rastafari, The way I'm living my life, Can't see beyond smoke, So I keep my eyes closed," reveals the singer's identification with the Rastafarian lifestyle, which often embraces the use of marijuana as a spiritual tool. They acknowledge that their mind is in a haze due to their constant smoking, but they find comfort and clarity within that state of mind.
In the second verse, the singer describes their interactions with others, particularly a romantic interest ("Hittin my phone think lil shawty want smoke make headway"). They mention baking bread and waiting their turn, metaphorically referring to their personal growth and evolution. Despite some people labeling them as a "head case," the singer confidently asserts their smooth and self-assured demeanor, comparing themselves to a Segway.
Throughout the song, the singer adopts the persona of a Rastafarian, emphasizing their desire for a carefree and peaceful life, detached from the concerns and pressures of the world ("I'm simply living life"). Despite a feeling of being lost or disconnected, they find refuge in keeping their eyes closed, allowing their mind to soar into the sky.
Overall, "Smoke" delves into themes of escapism, self-identity, and the desire to find peace and clarity amidst life's chaos. The lyrics highlight the singer's reliance on smoking as a means of finding solace and their pursuit of a carefree existence. It also explores the tensions between societal expectations and personal freedom, ultimately embracing a mindset centered around self-discovery and tranquility.
