What are the meanings of “hit the dip”?
Et fuck it, let’s just see what happens, take a risk, let’s take a trip
We swervin’ off the bourbon, hope we don’t hit the dip
It’s from a song, I have found it means to leave, but it seems here the meaning is another. How could someone seriously crash into a car?
The song is referencing taking a trip and the car is’swerving’ off the bourbon, which means that it’s not driving in a straight line because the driver is drunk. What would mean if you hit the dip in the road?
How of the depression on the road which goes “all the way across, all the way across” in a dimple, and what part of it is the depression? Water flows down a road and drains it off. When your driving too fast when the car drops into the dip it will stop.
To explain the symbolism of the metaphor, we sometimes say we hit a dip in the road to mean that our life is difficult or uncomfortable at the moment, or something bad happens suddenly. In the song there is a risk taking element. When the lyrics say, ‘Fuck it’ they mean that we’re not going to worry about the consequences of what we’re doing. And how much are you going to care to me? We’re taking a risk, living recklessly (driving drunk) and hope nothing bad happens as a result.
