Pulse
Automorrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I met her on the street haphazardly juggling jigsaw pieces
This femme fatale she must have moved my heart with Telekinesis
Wearing dark clothes and glasses using her mind and moves alone
I was shanghaied almost instantly to a place I'd never known
Where my whereabouts and my care-abouts were soon inconsequential
and only the pleasure I spied inside of here pupils was essential
to this increase in speed of my heart beat I was given no mind
what is a beat on any drum except for passing time

My heart beats
But one in 6 billion
My heart beats
For more of this feeling
My heart beats
My heart beats

When I came to myself was not the self that I knew
Beneath two shifting sunken eyes there was an emptiness that grew
As if I'd gambled everyday and forgot the aftermath
As if mistakes that I had made and made mistakes on my behalf





Where would I go
Without it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Automorrow's song Pulse tell a story of the singer meeting a mysterious woman who captivates him instantly. She seems to have a power over him, as she jumbles his emotions like a jigsaw puzzle with telekinesis. The woman is described as wearing dark clothes and glasses, and only using her mind and moves alone. The singer is then taken to a place he has never been before where nothing seems to matter except for the pleasure he sees in her pupils. The speed of his heartbeat increases, and he becomes almost oblivious to where he is and what he is doing.


The lyrics suggest that this experience has left the singer feeling lost and confused. He no longer recognizes himself, and there is an emptiness growing inside him. The experience is so intoxicating that the singer is left wondering where he would go without it. The repetition of "my heart beats" throughout the song emphasizes the power this experience has had over him and suggests that it is something he cannot forget.


Overall, the lyrics of Pulse examine the idea of being consumed by a powerful attraction or emotion. The singer is drawn to the woman like a moth to a flame despite the consequences it may have on his life. It is a cautionary tale that warns of the dangers of giving into temptations that can lead to a loss of control.
