Good Time - Intellectual

when read backwards, this lyric states “Right, imma try and rap backwards cause why not, alright then” Which is a meta joke about the fact this lyric is backwards and leads into the next lyric nicely

‘Finito’ is the Italian word for ‘Finished’, so Luke uses it to close the song in style…

Luke likes to include deep themes in his music, however ‘Good Time’ was written to have a more upbeat tone than his other singles, such as ‘Archangel’…

This lyric was added because, when experiencing writers block, Luke asked his friends to see what he should write about. One friend suggested Doritos and, so, the lyric “Eat some Doritos” was born

Unlike many of this generation’s rappers, Luke’s main aspiration is not to achieve success, but rather express his talent and enjoy it…

This lyric is referring to big media companies, and how they have so much power that they can “feed you lies” about anything they want and will not be stopped. However this lyric is also empowering people to not give in to the medias lies and to instead “see through the stereotypes”- an attempt to make people reflect on themselves and what they believe

In this lyric, Luke is suggesting to not look into everything so deeply- something he has stated he is guilty of himself

Here, Luke is throwing shade towards the more popular rappers, implying that they are not traditionally ‘good’, but rather widely recognized…

Again, Luke criticizes how little effort popular rappers put into their music…

This once again shows how Luke is insecure about his writing

This is, yet again, another reference to Luke’s insecurity in his writing, specifically the ending of his raps.

This once again shows Luke’s desire not to make money, but to have fun and do what he enjoys- in this case, flapjacks

This is a reminder to himself as much as anyone, to take a moment to appreciate good things in life and to not take everything too seriously.

This lyric suggests that Luke is just trying to be realistic, something that is uncommon in the rap community as suggested by the following line “The Achilles heel” -which is a phrase for a downfall or problem- which Luke would be to the rap community (because of messages like this) if he were at all popular of famous

This is a reference to the song “blue” by Eifell 65

This is Luke showing his insecurities about his writing, by ironically suggesting that the whole world will listen to his raps which he proclaims as “crap”

During writing and recording, Luke hadn’t thought of a suitable “rapper name”…

This lyric shows how Luke had less restriction while writing this song and decided to just write whatever he felt like

This reflects the sound of the instrumental at the time the lyric is spoken

These lines again suggest deep themes, however in this song, Luke tries to sway away from such ideas…

The literal message behind this lyric is to be careful what you say to others as you never know how they might take it. This point is later elaborated on in the lyric “Don’t be a Dick”

This is Luke saying how he doesn’t need to do drugs to have a good time, but rather just rap

At this point in the song, 20 seconds remain of the instrumental, so Luke cleverly uses up two of them with this satire line…

Just don’t be a dick to people, it’s not that hard

This refers once again to people in life getting out more than they put in, and is throwing shade at people who Luke thinks doesn’t deserve popularity or fame
