Akrapovic Lyrics Meaning Hamo | The Riffraff’s Signature
The lyrics follow a couple speeding on a scooter, with lines like, ‘Your laughter stings; we’ve only got one helmet between us.’ HAMO describes the chaotic thrill of the moment, blending humor and regret. The poet also hints at deeper what-ifs, imagining a life where they could’ve stayed together.
Seukuteo dwie neol taewo bbaekcha du dae jaekkil ttaeWith you on the back of my scooter, cutting past two police cruisers.
Ni useumsorineun maewo helmet hanappunindeYour laughter stings; we’ve only got one helmet between us.
Nige sigeun daeume nan dallyeo yabameOnce the heat cools down, I race into the night.
