Chemistry
Astra Zero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or did all the answers go
And if I could play a game
I think I'd play it better if I'm alone
Did you need a little help
To get back on the road
Or did I supply the gas
That kept you running from me all along...
Did you think that every time I left I started trouble
Or did all the anger in my heart just overlap until it doubled
Did you really think that I'd succumb to sentimental
Or did I pretend like everything was ok when it really wasn't
Second guessing all of your enemies
Torn apart by cold hearted misery
Burnt alive by all of our Chemistry
But I can't help it
When you take me home.
The lyrics of Astra Zero's song "Chemistry" seem to revolve around a dysfunctional relationship that is clouded by insecurity, mistrust, and emotional turmoil. The singer, possibly addressing the significant other, asks if they desired to become a martyr or if they have lost all hope and direction in life. The singer then contemplates over a game that they would better play alone than in the company of their partner, implying a sense of isolation and detachment. Additionally, the singer questions whether their partner needed help in their life or whether they themselves provided the fuel for their partner to keep running away.
Moving on, the singer probes the idea that every time they leave, their absence is interpreted as stirring up trouble, when it is actually the culmination of pent-up anger that has doubled over time. The singer then questions whether their partner thought that they would give in to sentimental feelings or whether they were pretending that everything was alright when, in reality, it wasn't.
The chorus seems to emphasize the damage caused by their union, where they were ripped apart by misery, caused by their polarizing personalities and elements of chemistry that burnt them alive. However, despite all the pain and emotions involved, the singer still finds themselves being susceptible to their partner's charm or allure, as they admit they can't resist the pull when they take them home.
