80s
berhana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
"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...
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.

Peelin' out in HD
Driving away really fast with high definition clarity
Except my channel don't change
Doing the same thing over and over again without any change
Park by the road, spark out the grove
Stopping the car near the road and smoking
Said that I would never leave
Promising to be around forever
Faded underneath the willow tree
Getting high under the willow tree until everything is blurry
Wind hit the smoke, watch as it goes
Blowing smoke away with the wind and seeing it disappear
Livin' in that s song, that song that lady sing
Living in that sad song that the lady sings
"I'm only one, but not alone"
Feeling lonely but knowing that there are others who feel the same way
Drift down the interstate
Driving on the highway aimlessly
I'm running til I get away
Trying to escape from something and running until it's far behind
Lost in a daze, peek out the gates
Being in a state of confusion and peeking from behind the gates
Bump until my speakers blown
Cranking up the volume so high that the artists blow
Tryna live this life I've never known
Attempting to live a life that's completely new and unfamiliar
Sun hit the bay, hum as I sway
Feeling the warmth of the sun and humming while swaying to the music
Watch me as I go to waste
Seeing oneself slowly deteriorate and become useless
Paradise, Paradise
