Buzzkill
In most modern day music, it doesn’t have a real meaning
behind it. Most new music is all about how good the artist looks or the beat of
their music. Luke Bryan is trying to stay away from the hip hop style and stick
with his roots, Country. In his new hit single “Buzzkill” he hits lots of
people deep. The song starts out with “ You're a big rain cloud parked over my
boat.” Now he is not really saying the woman is a rain cloud. That is an
example of a negative thing. Luke is trying to get the point across that she is
a negative impact on his life. Then he goes on to say “every time you come
around, those beers might as well have been poured out.” By saying that it
means that whatever effects he was having from the beer had drank he no longer
felt them when he saw her. He goes on to say “I was a six pack in, now I'm as
sober as a judge”. That is an old saying that people use, meaning that you are
not under the influence of alcohol at all.
I can relate to this song in a different way that
alcohol. The song says “Everybody knows
you ended us.” I have been in a relationship where the girl ended it and
everyone knew it too. When I would see her out in public no matter how good of
a mood I was in it would give me a “buzzkill”, as in it would never fail to
totally bum me out. Also he says “So why you showing up here on my side of the
tracks?” Luke is saying that she is showing up in places that are his “stomping
grounds” his territory. I have been through that, when my ex was obviously
somewhere that she had no business of being only because I was there.
