Gasoline
Alpine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's fire in mine
I know I'm never gunna light you
But there's always night time
There's a light I've found in your eyes,
That I've never found in mine
I know I, I could never ever show you
But there's always night time - (Knowing no-one to someone)
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
There's gasoline in your heart
I could have your fire
I know that this is momentary
Imagine it's night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
Can you feel?
Can you feel?
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
I wish it wasn't just the night time
The lyrics of Alpine's song "Gasoline" convey a sense of longing and unfulfilled desire. The imagery of gasoline and fire suggests a potent and combustible attraction between two people, but the singer acknowledges that this connection is unlikely to be consummated. The lines "There's gasoline in your heart / There's fire in mine" express the depth of feeling that the singer has, while the following lines "I know I'm never gonna light you / But there's always night time" acknowledge the impossibility of the situation.
The chorus of the song, with its repetition of the phrase "I wish it wasn't just the night time," reinforces the sense of longing and frustration that pervades the lyrics. The singer longs for a deeper connection with the object of their affection, but recognizes that this connection is only possible in the darkness of the night when inhibitions are lowered.
In the final verse, the singer expresses a desire to seize the moment and experience the attraction in its full intensity. The lines "There's gasoline in your heart / I could have your fire / I know that this is momentary" suggest both a recklessness and an acceptance of the transitory nature of the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Gasoline" convey a sense of emotional intensity and romantic longing that is both raw and honest.

This song feels like hanging out of the window on a summer night drive when you’ve just had a great night out, and you feel so free and wonderful

I saw them open for Empire of the Sun a few nights ago and they were really really good! both girls blew me away with their amazing voices and they way they interacted with eachother throughout the set was really cool. The whole band had so much energy that really drew you in. Basically, they are so great live and I hope I get to see them again.

I’ve LOVED this song since it first came out, but I had never seen this video. I’m reminded of what a great song it is; also, I’m BLOWN AWAY by the athleticism of those dancers!
