Chemicals React
Aly AJ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
And you're movin' too fast

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
Makin' it harder to breathe

We cannot deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah

We lived
We loved
We hurt
We joked
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love

But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that




The chemicals react

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aly & AJ's "Chemicals React" describe a feeling of being out of control and overwhelmed by the intensity of a romantic connection. The singer feels like they are walking on broken glass and their world is spinning in slow motion, all while their love interest moves too quickly for them to keep up. The chorus suggests that the intensity of these feelings is due to a chemical reaction between the two people, something that cannot be denied or ignored.


The second verse adds to this sense of overwhelming emotion with the image of drifting out to sea and struggling to breathe. Despite this, there is an acknowledgement that both parties are equally broken and caught in the moment without regret. The bridge describes a "kaleidoscope of colors" and a "sun... shining down on both of us," evoking a sense of wonder and beauty about this chemical reaction. The final repetition of the chorus affirms that the two people lived, loved, hurt, and joked together, but that ultimately, it was their chemistry that made them special.


Overall, "Chemicals React" is a song about the intense, sometimes chaotic nature of love and attraction, and how sometimes that intensity is beyond our control, driven by unseen forces within ourselves or our partners.

Chemicals React

Aly & AJ

You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
And you're movin' too fast

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
Makin' it harder to breathe

We cannot deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we joked, yeah

We lived
We loved
We hurt
We joked
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love

But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

It honestly upsets me how much Disney didn’t help launch these girls’ career as much as they did for Miley, Demi, and Selena. In my opinion, Aly & AJ are collectively more talented than all of them but for some reason they weren’t given the same opportunities as those girls. They write all their own music, play instruments, and sing. It’s not like they were actors who just decided they wanted to be singers too. I️ hope their new music gets them the recognition they’ve deserved all these years

@gingercarco

Hayden Harris , I Agree Disney could have done more these girls are beautiful and talented their songs make you happy!!! 😊

@archiecook55

As a kid I listened to them all but Aly & AJ was always my favorite.

@nw5390

Hayden Harris: maybe it’s better they didn’t, maybe they got to stay themselves and more in control of their art by Disney not overstepping in their careers.

@Mr.-Roybot

They're obviously rockers but Disney wanted pop stars. And that's fucked up.

@indigotears

Then the jonas brothers came out of nowhere and got everything hollywood records contract (with insane promotion), movies, several tv series, world tours, concert movies... but Aly & AJ are a million times more talented and deserved it way more, they were the group disney should have given their money and publicity to
