80s
berhana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Peelin' out in HD
Except my channel don't change
Park by the road, spark out the grove

Said that I would never leave
Faded underneath the willow tree
Wind hit the smoke, watch as it goes
Livin' in that s song, that song that lady sing
"I'm only one, but not alone"
Drift down the interstate
I'm running til I get away

Peelin' out in HD
Except my channel don't change
Lost in a daze, peek out the gates

Bump until my speakers blown
Tryna live this life I've never known
Sun hit the bay, hum as I sway

Livin' in that s song, that song that lady sing
"I'm only one, but not alone"
Drift down the interstate
I'm running til I get away
Watch me as I go to waste

Paradise, Paradise
Paradise, Paradise
Paradise, Paradise
Paradise, Paradise





We just got basic, we just got basic, we just got...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Berhana's song "80s" are a nostalgic look at a time that the artist never experienced himself. The line "Peelin' out in HD, except my channel don't change" suggests a desire for speed and excitement, perhaps reflecting the glorification of fast cars and action movies in the 1980s. The line "Park by the road, spark out the grove" also suggests a desire for a secluded, natural environment where the singer can escape from the urban life.


The chorus of the song mentions "that s song," which is likely a reference to Sade's song "No Ordinary Love," particularly the line "I'm only one, but not alone." This line could be interpreted as a feeling of loneliness, but also strength in individuality. The second verse continues the themes of searching for a sense of freedom and adventure, with the lines "Tryna live this life I've never known / Sun hit the bay, hum as I sway."


The repetition of the word "paradise" at the end of the song suggests that the singer is still searching for something that they haven't found yet. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a yearning for a time and a feeling that never truly existed, and a desire to find some kind of escape and adventure.
