Another day flows by
Time travel gone astray
My mind in disarray
I could have run away to be with you
I could have run away to be with you
I should have run away to be with you

once we got lost in the woods with your hand interlaced between mine
And I stared straight at the sun and imagined the beams realigned
Emotions and photons, that flicker like bees when I look in your eyes, intertwine

six stories above
I watch the world creep by
I used to be in love
And that's enough to make me high on you
And that's enough to make me high on you
And that's enough to make me high on you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Freezepop's song "Emotions & Photons" speak about the feeling of being lost and disconnected from the world around. The opening lines, "Another day flows by/ Time travel gone astray/ My mind in disarray" describes the feeling of being stuck in a monotonous routine and feeling incapable of adapting to or grasping the passage of time.

Throughout the song, the singer longs for a deeper connection with someone, specifically, "I could have run away to be with you/ I should have run away to be with you". The imagery of getting lost in the woods with someone and staring straight at the sun, "Emotions and photons, that flicker like bees when I look in your eyes, intertwine", speaks to a longing for a profound, almost otherworldly experience.

In the final lines, "six stories above/ I watch the world creep by/ I used to be in love/ And that's enough to make me high on you", the singer reflects on the beauty of past love, even if it has since ended. The memory of love and the lingering feelings are enough to make them feel connected and content for a moment.
