Electricity
Allah-Las Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought before action
A temporal reaction
Memories slow to unfold
Show you where you've been before
My light, keep the current hot
It is just a fraction
of chemical reactions
Messages slow to unfold
Are you hot or feeling cold?




My light, keep the current hot
Electricity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Electricity" by Allah-Las suggest that before taking action in the present, it is important to consider the past and how our experiences and memories shape our current choices. The "temporal reaction" here refers to the passing of time and how memories slowly come to mind. The line "My light, keep the current hot" suggests that one should hold on to their inner passion and drive in order to keep moving forward with purpose. The use of the word "electricity" in the chorus brings a sense of energy to the song, hinting that there is power in recalling and using one's past experiences.


The verse "it is just a fraction of chemical reactions" is a particularly interesting line as it reminds listeners that everything we experience, feel, and do is the result of chemical reactions in our bodies. Memories, emotions, and even our motor skills are all dependent on these reactions. By acknowledging this fact, the lyrics suggest that we can better understand and take control of our own reactions and choices. Additionally, the juxtaposition of "are you hot or feeling cold?" highlights the contrast between passionate drive and lackluster motivation.


Overall, the lyrics of "Electricity" encourage listeners to take control of their actions by reflecting on their past experiences and harnessing their inner energy and drive.
