Ferrari

Bebe Rexha's song 'Ferrari' delves into the emotional turbulence of living life in the fast lane. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life that is constantly in motion, where days blur together and meaningful moments slip away unnoticed. The metaphor of a Ferrari, a symbol of speed and luxury, is used to represent the singer's fast-paced lifestyle. Despite the glamour and excitement, there's an underlying sense of emptiness and loneliness. The repeated question, 'Can you tell me what day it is?' underscores the disorientation and lack of grounding that comes with such a lifestyle.

The chorus highlights the duality of this existence. While the city lights from Mulholland Drive are described as 'pretty,' there's a stark contrast with the loneliness that follows the party. The Ferrari, a powerful and beautiful machine, becomes a symbol of isolation as it 'keeps on going, missing the moments.' This suggests that the pursuit of constant highs and the relentless pace of life can lead to a sense of missing out on genuine, meaningful experiences.

In the verses, Rexha reflects on the emotional cost of this lifestyle. She acknowledges a 'heavy heart' and the paradox of being surrounded by people yet feeling alone. The line 'I'm just going too fast to see all the good things in front of me' encapsulates the central theme of the song: the realization that a life lived too quickly can lead to missing out on the simple, yet profound, joys of life. The song is a poignant reminder to slow down and appreciate the present, rather than constantly chasing the next thrill.
