Turbulence
At A Loss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I broke a window and let the clouds in, even though I hate the rain.
Was I the one you wanted headlong and through this floor?
The windows crack, still can't relax ‘til I'm burned into this chrome
And just see gray.
You've got these calm-pathetic, slow synthetic bring me downs
Can't kiss the sky so kiss the ground.
It's the turbulence that shakes this engine that's ringing in my ears
Was I the one you wanted headlong and through this floor?
Now wait and wait to be burned in to this chrome.
Do you realize, they're ain't no coming back for one last ride.
When blood's still blood and red's still red but the blood's not
Red it's black instead you need to, you need to watch it run.
The lyrics to At A Loss's song Turbulence seem to be talking about a tumultuous relationship or situation. The first verse talks about a broken throttle cutting the engine, but the singer feeling the same. It could be interpreted as something going wrong, but the singer being stuck in the same state emotionally. The next line about breaking a window and letting the clouds in, even though they hate the rain, talks about wanting something that they know is not good for them. They know they won't like the outcome, but they want it anyway. The line "was I the one you wanted headlong and through this floor?" seems to be asking if the other person wanted a reckless relationship or situation.
In the chorus, the singer talks about being brought down by something slow and synthetic (could refer to drugs or a toxic relationship), but they want to know if they're in overdrive or not. It's the turbulence that shakes this engine that's ringing in their ears. It could be interpreted as the singer feeling like they're in a relationship that's going too fast or being rushed into something they're not sure they want. The second verse reiterates the line about waiting to be burned into the chrome, possibly referring to wanting to be in a situation so badly they're willing to be hurt.
The last line is the most interesting because it talks about blood turning black instead of red. It could refer to the person losing themselves, changing into someone they don't recognize. Overall, the song seems to be about someone wanting something they know isn't good for them, but feeling stuck in it. They feel like they're in a state of turmoil and can't escape.
