Two Hours
Theme Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'll feel it when the heart beat comes
And I'll feel it on the night bus
And I'll feel it when the dawn light hurts
Then I'll wait 'till it gets darker
In a couple 'hours we'll be going out
And I'll feel it on the dance floor
And that's the feeling
Can you feel anything
Can you feel anything
'Cause it is bringing me down
It's bringing me
I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything
And it's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
And I knew when I was younger
When I looked into those eyes at night
And I feel it in the silence
And I feel it when the light's full
And I feel it when my time goes now
Can you feel anything
Can you feel anything
Cause is it bringing me down
Is bringing me
I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything
And it is bringing me down
It's bringing me down
I used to feel it in the dance I love
used to feel it deep in side, side, side
Just to see how it effects your smile
Just to feel it in the dance your smile
Say it now that we will feel on top
Say it now that we will feel on top
Two Hours by Theme Park is a song that takes us on a journey of self-discovery, love, and heartbreak. The opening lines "And I knew it when I was older, that I'll feel it when the heart beat comes" depict a future realization that the person had about the feeling of love. The chorus then highlights the feeling of being brought down by the lack of connection with someone they potentially loved. This feeling is persistent even after going out, dancing, and trying to have a good time. The lines "I can't feel anything, and it's bringing me down" keep portraying the frustration and confusion that the person has about their emotions. The song further illustrates the search for a feeling that once used to exist in their dance, their love, and their conversations, but has now disappeared, leading the person to question if anyone can feel anything.
The second verse talks about the person's past experience and how they used to feel it while looking into someone's eyes or in the silence. The line, "Say it now that we will feel on top," is almost like an affirmative statement about the hope that things will get better.
