Alkaline
Chemistry of Desire: Unveiling the Mysterious Elements in Tre Watson's Alkaline
Lyrics
Every once in a while something changes
Change is a sporadic occurrence
And she's changing me
A person (possibly a romantic partner) is causing a transformation in the speaker
It's too late for me now, I am altered
The speaker feels irreversible change and is now different
There is something beneath
There's a hidden aspect or depth to the person causing change
She's not acid nor alkaline
The person is neither overly negative nor positive
Caught between black and white
Caught between extremes (metaphorically)
Not quite either day or night
Not clearly defined as day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
The person is uniquely out of sync or unconventional
I'm caught up in her design
The speaker is captivated by the person's design or character
And how it connects to mine
Connection between the speaker's and the person's designs
I see in a different light
Perception of the person is different, seeing them positively
The object of my desire
The person is the object of the speaker's desire
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
Expressing a desire to discuss the chemistry between them
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
Intense desire to break through barriers
To the heart of her molecules
Wanting to understand the person at a profound level
'Til the particles part like holy water
Desire for a transformative experience in their connection
If anything
Emphasizing a point about the person
She's an undiscovered element
The person is unique and unexplored
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
The person's origin is unclear, with potential for both positive and negative traits
Either way I'm into it
The speaker is attracted to the person regardless of their nature
She's not acid nor alkaline
Reiteration of the person's neutral nature
Caught between black and white
Metaphorical description of the person's state
Not quite either day or night
Not clearly defined as day or night (repeated)
She's perfectly misaligned
Emphasizing the person's unique and unconventional nature
I'm caught up in her design
The speaker is fascinated by the person's design (repeated)
And how it connects to mine
Connection between the speaker's and the person's designs (repeated)
I see in a different light
Perception of the person is different, seeing them positively (repeated)
The object of my desire
The person is the object of the speaker's desire (repeated)
not acid nor alkaline
Reiteration of the person's neutral nature (repeated)
Caught between black and white
Metaphorical description of the person's state (repeated)
Not quite either day or night
Not clearly defined as day or night (repeated)
She's perfectly misaligned
Emphasizing the person's unique and unconventional nature (repeated)
I'm caught up in her design
The speaker is fascinated by the person's design (repeated)
And how it connects to mine
Connection between the speaker's and the person's designs (repeated)
I see in a different light
Perception of the person is different, seeing them positively (repeated)
The object of my desire
The person is the object of the speaker's desire (repeated)
