Gravity
Simonne Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crashing as I hit the ground
I'm a wave, you're the shore
Tide pulls in I'm back for more
Broken by lovers
Held together
By dark matter
You're holding me like gravity, all around
I can see the void and when I drift far away
You're holding me like gravity, gravity
You've set me in motion
The stars are blurs around the sun
The push and pull, the force of your body
Closer you get, I'm overcome
Bound by attraction
Floating on axis
Around your atlas
You're holding me like gravity, all around
You're holding me like gravity, gravity
I can see the void and when I drift far away
You're holding me like gravity, gravity
On the ground where you pull me down and the flame starts creeping in
I hear no sound, in the earth I drown as my heart stops listenin'
You're holding me like gravity, all around
You're holding me like gravity, gravity
I can see the void and when I drift far away
You're holding me like gravity, gravity
You're holding me like gravity, all around
You're holding me like gravity, gravity
I can see the void and when I drift far away
You're holding me like gravity, gravity
The lyrics of Simonne Jones’ song “Gravity” describe the powerful attraction and hold one person has on another. In the opening lines, the singer acknowledges the hold the other person has on them, even as they crash down to the ground. The metaphor of the wave and shore further emphasizes this idea; the tide pulls the singer back to the shore, despite the danger of crashing against the rocks. The bridge of the song references being broken by lovers but held together by “dark matter,” which can be interpreted as the unseen forces that keep the universe in motion. The chorus repeats the metaphor of the other person being like gravity, holding the singer tight and pulling them back when they start to drift away.
The second verse continues the metaphor, with the singer acknowledging how their attraction to the other person causes them to orbit around them, like stars around the sun. The closer the singer gets to the other person, the more they are “overcome” by their pull. The repetition of being “held like gravity” reinforces the idea that the pull is all-encompassing and inescapable. The final verse speaks to the overwhelming power of this attraction, with the singer metaphorically drowning and losing their sense of self in the process.
