“Lotus Inn” by Why Don’t We

Why Don’t We’s “Lotus Inn”, including its title, was actually inspired by the works of science-fiction writer Rick Riordan and Ancient Greek author Homer. In doing so, it is meant to allude to the concept of the passage of time in relation to living a party-like lifestyle. But ultimately “Lotus Inn” comes off more like a love song. The singer meets a certain lady at a dance club, and they end up going home together and getting into a lasting relationship. And conclusively whereas he seems to acknowledge that this was sort of a rash way to initiate an actual romance, at the end of the day he has no regrets.
