Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And less of a game
You think you're the sea
But you're the lake
Welcome to me
Tried it on everybody but she
Wanna sleep in the day
Live in the night
Lust hurts, could you bear it for me?
Leave her with anybody else you'll see
When you tell me here
In the car
What's there to love when you take it that far?
Shake your head and give a nod
Like if you were listening to two gods
The least you could do
Is tell me, is it true?
Could you
Send me those Barcelona leather boots now
Pick me up another Tenerife beach house
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You don't really mean it
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Headed into the wind
Turning the key
You loaded the gun
While you're waiting to see
You wonder is it a sin
Pushing the pace
At least I'll be the one getting out of this place
But you're pulling me in
Into the night
Tick of the clock when you caught my light
Lust hurts, could you bear it for me?
Leave her with anybody else you'll see
When you tell me here
In the car
What's there to love when you take it that far?
Shake your head and give a nod
Like if you were listening to two gods
The least you could do
Is tell me, is it true?
Could you
Send me those Barcelona leather boots now
Pick me up another Tenerife beach house
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You don't really mean it
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
You won't really do it
Will ya? Will ya? Will ya? Will ya?
Will ya? Will ya? Will ya? Will ya?
You don't really mean it
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
You won't pull that trigger, will ya?
In Arlie's song "Barcelona Boots", the lyrics suggest that the relationship they are describing is more of a fight than a game, and that the person they are addressing is pretending to be an ocean, but in reality, they are just a lake. The singer is questioning the intentions of their partner, wondering if the love they claim to have is true or if it's all a show. They also emphasize on the passion and lust in their relationship, despite the risks that come with it. The chorus repeats the notion of material possessions, such as leather boots and beach houses, as if those could solve the issues between them.
The verses describe their partner as someone who is willing to do anything to keep them, even if it's not necessarily the best thing to do. The lyrics suggest the person is unpredictable, going from one extreme to another. The chorus is reminiscent of the idea that wealth can lead to happiness, but the love and dedication of one's partner should not be overlooked. Throughout the song, one can feel the sense of uneasiness and questioning, making it clear that the relationship is not easy.
