Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, ahh
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh (hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, ahh)
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh (hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah)
hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
hey-yeah, hey-yeah
We're already in bed, you may as well lie
Do you wanna sleep here or leave?
We can tell them you got two hands tied
If you wanna call this a secret
I'll keep it locked up
I know how to swim far and you
Like it deep, so we may as well jump
Caught up in no good, so good
Like when we do something real bad
Sweet that it's so bitter
Sweet that it's so bitter
If you want to beat the sunlight
I'ma leave my inhibitions at the door
Like a meteorite
Let's go to space, then to the floor
I like the way you talk, and the way
You're licking your lips, I know you don't bite
Or maybe you do, I can do it too
Maybe we can make a move
Maybe we can make a move
Maybe we can make a move
Baby, we can make a move, ahh
Tell me there'll be no harm, we'll do it just once
Maybe you and me make a deal
We'll meet up when we're lonely or drunk
If you want to catch me or keep me
I'll give you two tries
Maybe we can mix up our sugar and heat
And we can caramelize
Caught up in no good, so good
Like when we do something real bad
Sweet that it's so bitter
Sweet that it's so bitter
If you want to beat the sunlight
I'ma leave my inhibitions at the door
Like a meteorite
Let's go to space, then to the floor
I like the way you talk, and the way
You're licking your lips, I know you don't bite
Or maybe you do, I can do it too
Maybe we can make a move
Maybe we can make a move
Maybe we can make a move
Baby, we can make a move, ooh
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, ahh
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh (hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, ahh)
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, ahh (hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah)
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh (hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, ahh)
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, ahh (hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah)
The lyrics to BANKS's song "Meteorite" touch upon themes of secrecy, desire, and the thrill of engaging in forbidden relationships. The repetition of "eh-eh" and "hey-yeah" throughout the song creates a sense of anticipation and excitement, mirroring the feelings experienced when engaging in something exhilarating and clandestine.
The opening lines suggest that the characters in the song are already in bed, implying a physical intimacy between them. The question of whether to sleep or leave suggests a choice between continuing the encounter or ending it. The mention of "two hands tied" alludes to a possible involvement with someone who is attached to another person or situation. This secrecy adds to the allure and excitement of their connection, as they revel in the thrill of their shared secret.
The chorus brings forth the idea of wanting to escape the confines of reality and embark on a journey of exploration. The lyrics describe this desire as wanting to "beat the sunlight" and leaving inhibitions at the door, indicating a willingness to break free from societal constraints and inhibitions. The metaphorical comparison to a meteorite emphasizes the sense of explosiveness and impact, suggesting a desire for a passionate and intense connection.
The verses further explore the complexities of their relationship. The lyrics highlight the allure of doing something "no good, so good" and the juxtaposition of sweetness and bitterness. This contradiction reflects the addictive nature of forbidden encounters, where pleasure and guilt coexist. The mention of mixing up "sugar and heat" and caramelizing it implies a blending of passion and desire, adding layers of sensuality to their connection.
Overall, "Meteorite" delves into the excitement, thrill, and consequences of engaging in a clandestine relationship. It explores the tension between wanting to keep the connection a secret and the longing for freedom and uninhibited exploration. The song captures the allure of forbidden desire and the rush of living in the moment, without concern for the consequences.
