Song Meaning of “Doubletime 2013” by ShimmyMC
“Doubletime 2013” speaks to the duality of life. ShimmyMC has put together a track that speaks to the juxtaposition of identities—how we express ourselves in different ways to different people. As well as the need to take time for yourself to decompress and reset.
The opening verse sets the tone. ShimmyMC acknowledges the intensity of life—“Big city lights and fast-paced times where even minutes go too slow”—before setting foot into the weekend where one can let go, free themselves and be “Lit at the dance with my Moby Dick”.
The chorus immediately follows this thought. “Time for Doubletime”, ShimmyMC embeds the message of taking time for all sides of oneself, allowing them to reset and restrategize. In the second half of the chorus, ShimmyMC takes his message of self-care and divergence even further – “Living life the everyday grind, but then step away like ‘Damn that was sublime’”.
The second verse speaks to a common feeling of being pulled in different directions in life— “Juggling U’s and Patience, this race is so unpredicted”. Through this, ShimmyMC drives home how important it is to take time for yourself, your emotions and your side projects, no matter how difficult it may seem.
Ultimately, ShimmyMC reminds us it is possible to live a life full of passion and intensity, while also taking time to regain control and be at peace. “Doubletime 2013” is a reminder to take time to live out both of our identities and to make sure we take time for ourselves.
