We Are Chosen

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching,
You slip
Through the cracks
Then you came back
See those
Faces, listen to you
Their world is new
(You) you so simple intuition boy
With your vision you can bring me joy
You're getting under my skin
Under my skin
You're getting under my skin
(Bring) bring a little revolution here
(show me) show me love will take away my fear
Show me how you're gonna bring me near
Now that you started a fire you can't put it out
I'll be frozen
Something inside me was choking when you let it out
We are chosen
Watching,
You slip
Through the cracks
Then you came back
(You) you so simple intuition boy
With your vision you can bring me joy
You're getting under my skin
Under my skin
You're getting under my skin
(Bring) bring a little revolution here
(Show me) show me love will take away my fear
Show me how you're gonna bring me near
Now that you started a fire you can't put it out
I'll be frozen
Something inside me was choking when you let it out
We are chosen
Now that you started a fire you can't put it out
I'll be frozen
Something inside me was choking when you let it out
We are chosen
Now that you started a fire you can't put it out
I'll be frozen
Something inside me was choking when you let it out
We are chosen
Now that you started a fire you can't put it out
I'll be frozen




Something inside me was choking when you let it out
We are chosen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AlunaGeorge's "We Are Chosen" depict the feeling of finding a deep connection with someone who has changed their partner's life for the better. The first verse talks about the singer watching as their partner loses confidence and disappears "through the cracks." However, the partner returns and begins to speak to others about their optimism for the future, and the singer listens to these conversations with a renewed sense of hope, describing their world as "new."


The chorus centers around the idea that this partner is beginning to change the singer's life in a profound way, describing them as getting "under my skin" and bringing a "little revolution" with them. The singer is displaying vulnerability and allowing themselves to be open to this feeling, hoping that this new partner can take away their fear and bring them nearer to something they may have been searching for. The line, "Now that you started a fire you can't put it out," indicates that this is more than just a passing emotion, and it has the potential to be an enduring love.


The repetition of the line, "Something inside me was choking when you let it out," reinforces the idea that this partner has allowed the singer to break out of their shell, to let out something that was hidden away. The final repetition of "We are chosen" underscores the feeling that these two were meant to find each other, fated to connect and change each other's lives.
