Electricity
Anabel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say that lightning don't strike twice
I'm starting to doubt it
This is the third time I've seen you
The third time I'm about it

Where I really wanna go is somewhere less crowded
Find out how loud our names can be shouted
Shouted

Don't know about electricity
But I'm shocked by our connectivity

I know you ain't my king
But I need some of your reign
So come down from your throne
So I can heal your pain

I'm hearing thunder roll and I want to play the game
Cause you're one move ahead
I'm not one to complain

Don't know about electricity
But I'm shocked by our connectivity

Not sure whether to restrain or grab hold
Something in the voltage making me feel bold




The space between us invokes a bitter cold
When i know we have a story that hasn't yet been told

Overall Meaning

The opening lines to Anabel's song Electricity imply that lightning is a symbol for rare occurrences, ones that don't happen frequently. However, the singer seems to have witnessed the rarest of occurrences, as she's seen the person she's singing about for the third time. We get a sense of her eagerness and anticipation as she admits to being "about it." The next line perhaps reveals that she wants to go to a place that's quieter and more intimate, where they can shout out each other's names.


Amidst all this, the singer feels a strong sense of connectivity with this person, despite the fact that they seem a little out of reach - this is made apparent when she speaks of him being on his throne, and needing some of his reign to heal his pain. The thunder she hears in the distance is a danger, but clearly, it's not enough to hold her back from wanting to pursue what she feels. There's an air of romance and danger in the song, and the singer seems to be fully immersed in it.


In the second verse of the song, we get a feel of the singer grappling with her feelings for this person. She's not sure whether to hold back or jump in with both feet, but she admits to feeling bold in the voltage. The space between them brings with it some uncertainty and a "bitter cold," but for all of that, she's convinced that there's more to the story they share.


Overall, Electricity is a song that speaks of the heady mix between romance and danger, where the singer seems prepared to embrace everything that comes her way to experience, regardless of the consequences.

I remember when this track came out... and man, it's still good. Even though an ex of mine used to drop this when he would play out in my city, I still love it.
