Talladega
Nic d Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴I′ve been sippin' on sunlight
Under the moonlight
Got fuller all night
All right, all right
I′ve been sippin' on sunlight
I'm a stargazer
One way heartbreaker
Only for the night, talladega
Only for the night, talladega
Only for the night
Only for the night, talladega
Yeah
Forget a day off
Only if I want to pay off
Only off if you get your way off
Gotta wait for me to drop so you play off it
Try to cross but it look like you jaywalking
Like you tryna look like you come to this place often
I′ve been sippin′ on whatever you bring me
Bring me, bring me
I've been sippin′ on sunlight
I'm a stargazer
One way heartbreaker
Shake and baker
Only for the night, talladega
Only for the night, talladega
Only for the night
Only for the night, talladega
Yeah
Add it to the back of my pride
Ain′t change none but the price
Think about that, think about that
She gon' think about it when you pick sides
Independent force, a hundred fifty more
Set the course, only got the course records
Take the score, tell them to put some more on it
That′s how I define the work, I celebrate the 4th on it
Seems if I wrote a whole thesis on leeches
They just tryna get their film in
Like Regis
Seems if he only counts his blessings when he sneezes
"Suns out, guns out" it's a metaphor
I'm sleepless
I know a guy, who know a guy
He keep that stick on off the adhesive
For the sake of this story, his name is Stitch
You all never cross stitched, you ain′t a seamstress
Only for the night, talladega
Only for the night
Overall Meaning
The song "Talladega" by Nic D is about living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest. The lyrics talk about sipping on sunlight, stargazing, and being a heartbreaker. The chorus repeats "Only for the night, Talladega" which is a reference to the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, a popular destination for NASCAR fans.
The verses describe a carefree lifestyle where the singer is not interested in taking a day off unless it pays off, and only wants to party for one night. The lyrics mention someone trying to cross, but looking like they're jaywalking, which is a metaphor for the people who are trying to bring the singer down but can't. The song also references the price of the singer's pride changing but nothing substantially about them changing as a person.
Overall, the song is about living life on your own terms and enjoying everything that comes your way. It's a message of self-care and not letting others bring you down.
