laundry day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(We're so high)
(We're so high)
(We're so high)
I took a ride to my place on the West End
So I could think 'bout the life I was livin'
So I could think 'bout the days
Remember being that kid on the first day
That always hated that it was the first day
But that's the day that we met
And it's kinda crazy how quickly we made amends
'Cause we got so caught up
And we kept having fun
And we kept growing up, and I'll say
You made me who I am
Remember taking a drive to the mountains
Remember singing the stupidest songs and
Remember dancing around the apartment
Laughing 'cause I couldn't dance a bit
But we'd dance all night long
We'd dance all night long, my friend
Guess we ran out of songs
Boy, I haven't seen you in a bit
But we gon' be alright (we gon' be alright)
We gon' be alright (we gon' be alright)
We gon' be alright (we gon' be alright)
We gon' be alright (we gon' be alright)
Name a time and place, we'll be fine
Name a time and place, we'll be fine
Name a time and place, we'll be fine
We got so caught up, we got so caught up
We got so caught up
(Name a time and place we'll be fine)
We got so caught up, we got so caught up
We got so caught up
(Name a time and place we'll be fine)
We got so caught up, we got so caught up
We got so caught up
(Name a time and place we'll be fine)
We got so caught up, we got so caught up
We got so caught up (name a time and place, we'll be fine)
(Name a time and place, we'll be fine)
'Cause I know you (gotta be so hard)
'Cause I know you
'Cause I know you
Name a time and place, we'll be fine
'Cause I know you (gotta be so hard)
'Cause I know you
'Cause I know you
Name a time and place we'll be fi-
The lyrics of “Friends” by Laundry Day talk about the power of friendship and how it shapes us as individuals. The song is filled with nostalgia as the singer reminisces about the memories he made with his friend. The song starts with the repetition of “We’re so high,” which can be interpreted in two ways. One could be that they are physically high, possibly on drugs, but another interpretation could be that they are on a high from the memories and feelings that they shared together. The catchy repetition sets the tone for the song.
The first verse talks about how the singer took a ride to his place on the West End to reflect on the life he was living. He then thinks about the days where all he wanted was happiness. This indicates that the singer may have felt lost or directionless before he met his friend. He then talks about how he met his friend on the first day of school and how they quickly became friends. The second verse builds on the memories they shared, like taking a drive to the mountains, singing stupid songs, and dancing around the apartment. The chorus talks about how they got caught up with each other and how they kept having fun and growing up together. The singer realizes the influence his friend has had on him and says, “You made me who I am.” The song ends with the repeated refrain of “Name a time and place, we’ll be fine,” emphasizing the importance of friendship throughout life’s ups and downs.
