Tesla Is Knockin' At My Door
the electro swingers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on in here
I just had a thought, a feeling this morning
Something good was gonna happen today
Now, come a sound with any warning
I just know it good luck coming my way
Goodness gracious, can it be?
Someone's coming back to me?
Who's that, knocking at my door?
I been waiting all so long
I'll just die if I'm wrong!
Who's that, knocking at my door?
I know it can't be mailman, moonman or the heistman
They been here today
Can't be the (?), the Butcher, the baker.
They don't knock that way
The lyrics to Electro Swing band Electro Swing's song "Tesla Is Knockin' At My Door" evoke themes of anticipation, hope, and possibility. The song begins with a simple question - "who's that knocking, who's that out there?" - which quickly establishes a sense of intrigue and mystery. The answer? None other than the legendary inventor and electrical engineer, Nikola Tesla. The track enthusiastically describes the singer's anticipation of a lucky break or other positive experience, which they believe is heralded by Tesla's arrival.
Through lyrics that conjure an aura of hopeful excitement, the singer speculates about what Tesla might bring with him: "I just had a thought, a feeling this morning / Something good was gonna happen today." The song's upbeat tempo, along with its jazzy instrumentation and lively vocals, add to its generally optimistic mood. Additionally, the song's lyrical content seems to reference Tesla's work with electricity, which lends a sci-fi element to the song's playful lyrics.
