Chemistry
Alcazar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you want to be mine
Hey you, dancing like a zombie, feel the rhythm like me
Don't you want to be mine
You know it's Saturday tonight, I got the fever
(Fever)
And when the music take control, you got to be there
Let's have a good time, forget about the reality
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Sometimes the best times of you are fantasy
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Hey you, put your hands on my hips, music?s loud so read my lips
Don't you want to be mine
So you, I knew the second I saw you, you and I are just so cool
Don't you want to be mine, mine, mine, mine
'Cause when I look into your eyes I know you got it
(Got it)
And when you look into my eyes, you know I want it
(Want it)
Let's have a good time, forget about the reality
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Sometimes the best times of you are fantasy
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Good time, forget about the reality
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Sometimes the best times of you are fantasy
'Cause you and I make chemistry
I think I'm in love, I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love, I think I'm in love
You know it's Saturday tonight, I got the fever
(Fever)
And when the music take control, you got to be there
(Be there)
Let's have a good time, forget about the reality
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Sometimes the best times of you are fantasy
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Good time, forget about the reality
'Cause you and I make chemistry
Sometimes the best times of you are fantasy
'Cause you and I make chemistry
I think I'm in love
('Cause you and I make)
I think I'm in love
(Chemistry)
I think I'm in love
('Cause you and I make)
I think I'm in love
(Chemistry)
The lyrics of Alcazar's "Chemistry" suggest that the singer is trying to pick up someone at a club, and they are hoping to connect with them on a deeper level. The song assumes that both parties are into each other, as expressed through lines like "Don't you want to be mine" and "Let's have a good time, forget about the reality." The theme of chemistry suggests that the connection between the two people goes beyond just physical attraction to something unexplainable, intangible, and possibly spiritual. The lyrics, "Sometimes the best times of you are fantasy / 'Cause you and I make chemistry" imply that the chemistry between them is not necessarily grounded in reality, but rather in a shared experience or feeling that transcends the mundane.
Overall, the lyrics reflect the feelings of many young people looking for connection and excitement in the nightclub scene. The theme of chemistry speaks to a universal desire for something more profound than just physical pleasure, but it is expressed in a superficial context. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus reinforce the idea that this is a fun, carefree experience without any consequences. However, the lyrics hint at a deeper longing for something meaningful -- a desire that goes unanswered in the context of the song.
