Sledgehammer
Art Vs Science Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To a place where the liners go
Some things we will recognise
From the world we have seen before
Forming equations, with complications
They are aligning,
They're multiplying
Left hand knows what the right one don't
Still this happens, something coming
Still this happens, something coming
Still this happens, somethings coming, somethings coming
Sledgehammer!
My friend's right infront of me
There's a face that I use to know
My world there's too much for me
And I feel like a letting go
Part of me will remember
Part of me wont know
Part of a hidden agenda
Left hand knows what the right one don't
Still this happens, something coming
Still this happens, something coming
Still this happens, somethings coming, somethings coming
Sledgehammer!
Boop! Woop woop woop!
Sledgehammer! X3
Shhh
The lyrics of Art Vs Science's song Sledgehammer are abstract and can be interpreted in multiple ways. The verse talks about the singer and their friends walking towards a place where the "liners" go, which is open to interpretation. The second verse discusses the singer's uncertainty and feeling overwhelmed in their world, and how they are ready to let go. The line "Part of a hidden agenda, left hand knows what the right one don't" depicts a sense of secrecy and something being kept hidden, while the repetition of "still this happens" and "something coming" build anticipation for an impending event.
The chorus "Sledgehammer" is shouted repeatedly, adding to the climactic atmosphere of the song. The outro features a distinctive "boop woop woop" sound effect, accompanied by a whispered "Shhh", giving the impression of a sudden stop or resolution to the build-up.
Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of impending change or transformation and the emotions that come with it. It could be interpreted as a commentary on society or personal struggles, but ultimately the exact meaning is up to the listener's interpretation.
