Why Did I Do This?

"Why Did I Do This?" from Kurt Holes' reggae-pop album Island Life, is a song exploring the intoxicating allure and subsequent reflection on a night of uninhibited revelry. The lyrics depict a captivating experience of lost-in-the-moment dancing fueled by music and vibrant atmosphere, culminating in the repeated question, "Why did I do this?", This seemingly regretful inquiry is ultimately juxtaposed with the acceptance that the fleeting joy of the night outweighs any morning-after remorse. The song's repetitive structure and simple lyrics emphasize the cyclical nature of pleasure, regret, and the ultimately affirmative embrace of life's short, vibrant moments.
