Gravity
Against the Current Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember feeling invincible?
When there was trouble it was us against the world
We kept running, running through the night
Chasing the sun 'til anything felt right

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

You were my gravity
You were my gravity

You left me out there with no one but myself
In an open field for lightning to strike me down
I was the moon, you were the sun
I can't seem to shine now that you're gone
You ran out of orbit cause you left with no word
Are you somewhere better now?

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

You were my gravity
You were my gravity

When you went away, thought I'd never be the same
Would the nightmare ever end?
If I could do it again I wouldn't change a thing 'cause it's made me who I am

And now I'm shattering

Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost up in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost up in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Now my world is shattering





You were my gravity

Overall Meaning

Against the Current's "Gravity" focuses on the idea of losing someone who was everything to someone else. The lyrics describe a relationship where they once felt strong enough to fight the world under any circumstances. The two of them faced trouble together and ran through the night chasing after the sun, trying to find happiness. But the relationship didn't last, and one partner has left the other alone in an open field with nothing but their own thoughts. The partner left is struggling to get by, feeling lost and without direction. They are asking their ex-partner to return and provide them with the necessary support to feel grounded again, leading them to be invincible once more. The broken partner is apologizing for anything that may have led to their relationship ending, and although they are shattered, they are slowly learning who they are without their former partner's gravity.


In this song, the metaphor used is gravity as the force keeping the singer grounded while their life falls apart. Gravity is the force that keeps us grounded and, in the same way, our relationships keep us secure. When they leave, it feels like the ground beneath us has vanished. The phrase "can you save me now?" is repeated throughout the song, building towards its peak in the chorus, asking the partner for help. The latter half of the song's lyrics suggest the singer is coming to accept the reality of their new life without their partner, and this will shape their future selves.


Line by Line Meaning

Do you remember feeling invincible?
Do you recall the sensation of being unstoppable?


When there was trouble it was us against the world
We tackled difficulties as a unit, united against external challenges.


We kept running, running through the night
We persisted, even as time passed and darkness loomed.


Chasing the sun 'til anything felt right
Pursuing our goals until an emotional equilibrium was reached.


Can you save me now?
Can you help me during this challenging moment?


I get lost up in the clouds
I lose sight of my bearings and cannot see an obvious path.


You were my gravity
You were the force that kept me grounded and focused, providing a sense of direction.


When the ground drops out I get lost in the clouds
When everything seems unstable, I struggle to regain my sense of purpose or direction.


Save me now?
Can you provide me with the support and guidance I need to overcome this challenge?


Now my world is shattering
My life has become turbulent and I'm struggling to cope with it.


You left me out there with no one but myself
You abandoned me and left me to face my troubles alone.


In an open field for lightning to strike me down
Vulnerable and unprotected against unexpected adversities.


I was the moon, you were the sun
I was only a mere presence in comparison to your radiance.


I can't seem to shine now that you're gone
Without your support, guidance, and presence, I feel incapable of thriving or excelling.


You ran out of orbit 'cause you left with no word
You departed without any indication or explanation, leaving behind confusion.


Are you somewhere better now?
Are you living significantly better or more contentedly without me?


When you went away, thought I'd never be the same
Once you left, I believed I would never be able to recover and resume my normal life.


Would the nightmare ever end?
Would the challenging experience ever cease to affect me negatively?


If I could do it again I wouldn't change a thing 'cause it's made me who I am
Despite the hardships, the past has shaped me into the person I am today, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

We kept running
Running through the night
Chasing the sun, 'til anything felt right
Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When your ground drops out
I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering
You were my gravity
You were my gravity
You left me out there, with no one but myself
In an open field for the lightning to strike me down
I was the moon; you were the sun
I can't seem to shine
Now that you're gone
Now I'm out of orbit
Because you left without warning
Are you somewhere better now?
Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When your ground drops out
I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering
You were my gravity
You were my gravity
When you went away
Thought it'd never be the same
Would the nightmare ever end?
If I could do it again
I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause it made me who I am
And now I'm shattering
Can you save me now?
When your ground drops out
I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When your ground drops out
I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering
Now my world is shattering
You were my gravity

Do you remember
覚えてる?
to feel invincible?
感じてる?
When there is trouble
不具合があったみたい
It was us against the world
でも、これが私達の世界
We kept running
私達は走り続けて
Running through the night
走って、走って
Chasing the sun
太陽を追いかけ続けるの
Till anything felt right
まだ、何か感じる
Can you save me now?
あなたは私を覚えててくれないでしょう?
I get lost up in the clouds
私は雲の中にいるけど
Can you save me now?
あなたは私を見つけられる?
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力
Can you save me now?
あなたは私をつかまえられる?
When your ground drops down
私が地上に降りたときも
I get lost up in the clouds
私は雲の中でも迷子になるの
Save me now
私をつかまえてよ、
You were my gravity
やっぱり、あなたは私の重力ね
Now my world is shattering
そして、私の世界は壊されていくのよ
Ooooooo...
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力
Ooooooo...
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力よ
You left me out there
あなたが私を置いて
With no one but my self
誰もが自分と戦ってる
In a open field
この広い世界のなかで
For the lightning to strike me down
雷は私を攻撃して
I was the moon
私は月なの
You were the sun
あなたは太陽
I can't seem to shine
私は輝いてるようにしか見えない
Now that you're gone
でも、あなたはしっかり輝いてる
Now I'm out of orbit
だから、私達は違う道を歩いてる
Because you left without warning
あなたは私を置いて、1人で行ってしまった
Are you somewhere better now
あなたが今どこにいるのかすら分からない
Can you save me now?
あなたは私を探せる?
I get lost up in the clouds
私、雲のなかで迷子になるけど
Can you save me now?
あなたは私を探してくれる?
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力
Can you save me now?
私を探して?
When your ground drops down
あなたのいる地上でも
I get lost up in the clouds
雲の中でも迷子になるの
Save me now
私を捕まえてて
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力
Now my world is shattering
そして、私の世界は壊されていくの
Ooooooo...
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力
Ooooooo...
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力なの
When you ran away
あなたが逃げたとき思ったの
Thought if would never be the same
また同じになるのは嫌って
You're the nightmare that never end
あなたは私の終わることのない悪夢
If I would do it again
だけど、私はまた繰り返すことになるの
I wouldn't change a thing
結局、私は何も変えられない
Cause it made me who I am
だって、私はそうゆうふうにできてるの
And now I'm shattering
そして、今私は壊れていくの
Can you save me now?
あなたは私を捕まえられる?
When your ground drops down
あなたの地上に降りたときも
I get lost up in the clouds
雲の中にいる時でさえ迷子になる私を
Save me now
つかまえてて
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力ね
Can you save me now?
あなたは私をつまえててくれる?
When your ground drops down
地上に降りたときも
I get lost up in the clouds
雲の中でさえ迷子になる私を
Save me now
探して
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力なの
Now my world is shattering
そして、私の世界を壊していくのよ
Ooooooo...
Now my world is shattering
私の中が壊れてく
Ooooooo...
You were my gravity
あなたは私の重力だった
