Lyrics

I see slowly but I hear fast

I perceive things slowly visually, but I process auditory information quickly.

If it won't stay in my head, its never gonna last

If something doesn't stay in my memory, it won't endure or be long-lasting.

It's so loud, its so loud, its so loud, its so loud

There is a loud presence or noise, emphasized by repetition.

I think I can hear it

I believe I can hear a particular sound or message.

That thing missing

There is an intangible element or essence missing.


I wanna know what I look like from the back

I am curious about how I appear from behind.

Thought if I stared straight at it I'd have a heart attack

Directly confronting it might cause extreme emotional reactions, but I remain calm.

But I'm so calm, I'm so calm, I'm so calm, I'm so calm

An emphasis on maintaining a calm demeanor despite potential stress or anxiety.

I think I can feel it

I believe I can sense or perceive it.

Feels like kissing

The sensation is akin to the experience of kissing.


I set it alight

Repetition of "I set it alight" suggests a deliberate action of igniting something, possibly a transformative or destructive process.

I set it alight

-

I set it alight

-

I see it alight

I observe the ignited state.


No sweet colours I see them all the time

No pleasant or comforting colors are perceived regularly.

Oh never had a thought that felt really like mine

A lack of thoughts that feel genuinely personal.

Oh I'm so sick, I'm so sick, I'm so sick, I'm so sick

An overwhelming feeling of sickness, possibly metaphorical or symbolic.

But I think that does the trick

Despite the discomfort, there is a belief that a particular action is effective.

Makes me better

The action makes the individual feel better.


I wanna know if I like to dance

Curiosity about whether the person enjoys dancing.

I think I wanna know if somebody can put me in a trance

Interest in experiencing a trance-like state induced by someone else.

Like you do, like you do

Comparing the trance experience to a specific person's influence.

Oh everything old is new

A philosophical statement about the cyclical nature of everything becoming new again.

Everything I want

Desire for specific things, possibly implying a connection to a person.

Everything I want is you

-

I set it alight

Repetition of "I set it alight" reaffirms the intentional and transformative nature of the action.

I set it alight

-

I set it alight

-

I see it alight

The observer sees the ignited state.
