Sippin' on Sunshine

Avril Lavigne

Boy, you get me so high
Buzzin' like a beehive
It's just a little kiss
But when It hits my lips
I'm sippin' on sunshine
Boy you're looking so fly
Hotter than July
I just wanna stay
Forever and today
Sippin' on sunshine

Down at the beach, you holding my hand
Got an umbrella stuck in the sand
Watching the waves crash into the shore
Baby, I want some more

Hey
What a beautiful day
All I need is a taste
Nothin' but a good time
Sippin' on sunshine
No, don't got nowhere to go
So we'll go with the flow
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine

Sippin' on sunshine

Boy, you blow my mind
You got me up on cloud nine
Just a little taste
I wouldn't wanna waste
A sip of that sunshine

We can kick it all night
Underneath the moonlight
But when the party ends
We'll do it all again
Sippin' on sunshine

Down at the beach, you holding my hand
Got an umbrella stuck in the sand
Watching the waves crash into the shore
Baby, I want some more

Hey
What a beautiful day
All I need is a taste
Nothin' but a good time
Sippin' on sunshine
No, don't got nowhere to go
So we'll go with the flow
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine

Sippin' on sunshine, sippin' on sunshine
Sippin' on sunshine, sippin' on sunshine

Hey
What a beautiful day
All I need is a taste (a taste so good)
Nothin' but a good time (good time)
Sippin' on sunshine
No, don't got nowhere to go (do, don't)
So we'll go with the flow (hell yeah)
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine

All day all night
Yeah, good time
Everybody just sippin' on sunshine

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Sippin' on sunshine

    This is about that time her and Chad went to the beach and took LSD together...

    Watching the waves crash into the shore - She's mesmerised by the motion of the ocean

    When It hits my lips, I'm sippin' on sunshine - Expressing the effectiveness of the drug.

    When the party ends, We'll do it all again - Telling the listener she may have an addiction.

    I wouldn't wanna waste, A sip of that sunshine - Demonstrating that she can afford the real expensive stuff.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
