As with all the songs in ‘0202’, The Rubens have stepped away from the guitar driven sounds of ‘The Rubens’ and ‘Hoops’. Elliott’s synths drive the sound, creating a fresh soundscape for Sam’s soulful vocals.
[Intro]
I, I care too much
I do, I do, I do, I do, and you
You just don't give a fuck
I envy you, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
You're too cool, cool, cool, cool
You're cool, you're cool, you're cool
You're cool, you're cool, you're cool
[Verse 1]
It's summer on the coastline and it's going slow, time
I don't need no co-sign, I can go alone
I put my phone on silent, but that never works
So I put it in the ocean, I'll always be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
You're too cool, cool, cool, cool
You're cool, you're cool, you're cool
You're cool, you're cool, you're cool
[Chorus]
It must be a holiday when you're miles away
Fuck, it must be nice to take a trip every other day
It must be a holiday when you'rе miles away
Fuck, it must be nice to takе a trip every other day
[Verse 2]
It's summer on the coastline, should be wearing tie dye
Sitting by the fireside but I'm in the cloak line
Going note for note, they go for toke for toke
I'm holding on to hope that my mother never knows
[Pre-Chorus]
And I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
[Chorus]
It must be a holiday when you're miles away
Fuck, it must be nice to take a trip every other day
It must be a holiday when you're miles away
Fuck, it must be nice to take a trip and fly away
[Bridge]
It must be a holiday (Yeah, yeah)
Fuck, it must be nice to take a trip
And fly away so far from here
Just take a trip and make it real
[Outro]
It must be a holiday
Fuck, it must be nice to take a trip
And fly away so far from here
Just take a trip and make it real
It must be a holiday
Fuck, it must be nice
Just fly away so far from here
Just take a trip and make it real
Holiday was written by William Zeglis & Scott Baldwin & Izaac Margin & Elliot Margin.
The Rubens released Holiday on Fri Feb 12 2021.
It’s about addiction and drug taking. Obviously, it’s a metaphor. ‘It must be nice to take a trip, fly away.’ About escapism through not very healthy means. I wanted it to be kind of trippy, as well. It doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be about someone with a crack addiction. It could be about som...
