Nitro
X-KINS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Xander Sallows]
We've been here before but nothin stays the same
I always try but something always finds a way
A million chances and I know this sounds cliche
We've talked a lot and I've been waiting for this day

I thought it was a lost cause
But I'm not who I was, yeah
And the path was paved and led me back to you

It was a
Night drive, an open sunroof
Streetlights reminded me I needed you
Far cry from when I met you
I'm looking your way, you're looking mine
Can we reignite the life we used to breathe
And fight the lows and all that stands between

[Instrumental]

[Adam Paddock]
You met me when I couldn't find my own way out
You saw the best in me when all I did was doubt
I can see clearly now
This clarity I've found has turned my life around at last

I thought it was a lost cause
But I'm not who I was, yeah
And the path was paved and led me back to you

It was a
Night drive, an open sunroof
Streetlights reminded me I needed you
Far cry from when I met you
I'm looking your way, you're looking mine
Can we reignite the life we used to breathe
And fight the lows and all that stands between

[Xander Sallows & Adam Paddock]
I didn't see you
But I'm glad you stayed

[Xander Sallows & Adam Paddock]
It was a
Night drive, an open sunroof
Streetlights reminded me I needed you
Far cry from when I met you
I'm looking your way, you're looking mine
Can we reignite the life we used to breathe
And fight the lows and all that stands between

[Instrumental]





[Xander Sallows]
I am glad you stayed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of X-KINS's song "Nitro" explore themes of transformation, second chances, and the rediscovery of love. The first verse sets the tone by expressing a sense of familiarity and repetition in life, where despite efforts to change, something always manages to disrupt the status quo. The singer acknowledges that this sentiment may sound cliché but emphasizes the importance of the upcoming day and the anticipation they have felt in their conversations.


The chorus indicates a shift in perspective as the singer realizes that what they previously believed to be a lost cause is no longer true. They have undergone personal growth and have been led back to their romantic interest. The mention of a "night drive, an open sunroof" creates a vivid image of a moment of vulnerability and reflection. Streetlights serve as a reminder of the person's need for their partner, symbolizing the light they bring into their life. This is contrasted with the distance and unfamiliarity that the singer experienced when they first met.


In the second verse, a new voice enters, reflecting on the transformative impact the romantic interest has had on the singer's life. The partner saw the singer's potential when they themselves doubted it, providing support and believing in them. The newfound clarity and change in perspective have brought about a positive transformation in the singer's life.


As the chorus is repeated, the voices of both singers join in, emphasizing the connection between them and the possibility of reigniting the passion and vibrancy they once shared. The phrase "fight the lows and all that stands between" suggests a recognition that challenges and obstacles exist, but the desire to persevere and overcome them remains.


The bridge, marked by an instrumental break, represents a contemplative moment within the song. It allows the listener to reflect on the lyrics and their personal experiences and emotions. The final repetition of the chorus expresses gratitude and happiness for the presence of the partner in the singer's life, concluding the song on a positive note.


Overall, "Nitro" explores themes of personal growth, the power of love to transform lives, and the desire to reignite a connection that once brought vitality and joy. It encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the potential for positive change within them.
