Ana Electronic
Banks & Steelz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You release, you go down
And at times I can see your face now
Up in the air, celestial sound
When the shadows keep your face now
Even even the time flows over
Now waste away ooh
Even even the time flows (away)
Deep inside the beautiful lies that's all there is
Love is a house and you got the keys
I'm like a city mouse, mama you got the cheese
James Brown's song please, please, please try me
Mama don't leave
So how do we keep the music playing?
How do we keep our love song from fading out
Even if the sun burns out
Mama don't leave cause I can't live without
You go up to release
You release, you go down
And at times I can see your face now
Up in the air, celestial sound
When the shadows keep your face now
Even even the time flows over
Now waste away ooh
Even even the time flows (away)
Even even the time flows over me
Deep inside the beautiful lies that's all there is
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a wo- old man
He will travel far lands
And cross the deepest seas
Send his soldiers to war
Like Trojans and Greeks
Many kings lost their lands at a woman's hand
Marie Antoinette caused the fall of France
So good was her love that my circumstance
It left me in the mud for a second chance
I'm in a love debt because I owe some much
She was with the Joneses I was trying to keep up
Trying to keep my feet above water, fell off the cliff
Can I get a lift? Can I get a tip?
Oh ain't that a trip
When love makes you slip into a love debt
Into regret
But I would do it all again
Just to hold her skin
Time will take your place in no time
Fly away from the pain, hypnotized
Even even the time flows over
Now waste away
Time will take your place in no time
Time will take your place in no time
Fly away for days hypnotized
Even even the time flows over
Now waste away, ooh
The lyrics of Banks & Steelz's song "Ana Electronic" describe a complex relationship between the two lovers. The song is highly introspective and speaks about the emotional ebb and flow that ultimately defines most relationships. The song also speaks about the power dynamics that exist within a relationship, where one partner may hold more power than the other. The lyrics "Love is a house and you got the keys, I'm like a city mouse, mama you got the cheese" highlights this power dynamic. However, despite the complex emotions and power struggles, the lyrics also speak about the resilience and desire to hold onto the relationship, expressed through the lines "How do we keep our love song from fading out, even if the sun burns out, Mama don't leave cause I can't live without."
The chorus of the song includes the lines "Even even the time flows over, now waste away" and "Time will take your place in no time, fly away from the pain, hypnotized". These lines speak about the passing of time and how the inevitable passage of time affects relationships. The lyrics also express the idea that humans are often mundane and like waste, while time is transient and ephemeral.
Overall, "Ana Electronic" is a complex song that speaks about the highs and lows of relationships, as well as the difficulties that come with the passage of time.
Line by Line Meaning
You go up to release
You ascend towards freedom
You release, you go down
You attain freedom, and then descend back to reality
And at times I can see your face now
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of your essence
Up in the air, celestial sound
You emanate a heavenly aura
When the shadows keep your face now
When darkness shrouds your image
Even even the time flows over
Even time passes by relentlessly
Now waste away ooh
Now disappear without a trace
Even even the time flows (away)
Time slowly slips away
Even even the time flows over me
The unstoppable passage of time affects me as well
Deep inside the beautiful lies that's all there is
Beneath the surface, everything is a lie in its own way
Love is a house and you got the keys
Love is like a house, and you hold the power to open its doors
I'm like a city mouse, mama you got the cheese
I feel small and insignificant compared to you, my love
James Brown's song please, please, please try me
Like in James Brown's song, I beg you to give me a chance
Mama don't leave
Please don't abandon me
So how do we keep the music playing?
How can we sustain our love and maintain the spark?
How do we keep our love song from fading out
How do we prevent our love from dying out?
Even if the sun burns out
Even if the world crumbles around us
Mama don't leave cause I can't live without
I need you, my love, to survive
When a man loves a woman
When one experiences true love
When a man loves a wo- old man
Even an old man can feel this love
He will travel far lands
He will embark on journeys far and wide
And cross the deepest seas
And cross treacherous waters
Send his soldiers to war
He will sacrifice everything, including his troops, for love
Like Trojans and Greeks
Like the epic battles in ancient mythology
Many kings lost their lands at a woman's hand
Throughout history, powerful men have been brought down by their relationships with women
Marie Antoinette caused the fall of France
Even a queen's love life can have disastrous consequences for an entire nation
So good was her love that my circumstance
Your love is so strong that it overwhelms my current situation
It left me in the mud for a second chance
It dragged me down but I'm still trying to redeem myself
I'm in a love debt because I owe some much
I owe you an immeasurable debt of love
She was with the Joneses I was trying to keep up
You were living large, while I was struggling to keep pace
Trying to keep my feet above water, fell off the cliff
I was barely managing to stay afloat, then suddenly everything fell apart
Can I get a lift? Can I get a tip?
Can you show me the way forward? Can you give me some advice?
Oh ain't that a trip
Isn't life just crazy?
When love makes you slip into a love debt
When love puts you in over your head
Into regret
And threatens to drown you in regret
But I would do it all again
But I would still choose to love you
Just to hold her skin
Just to feel your touch
Time will take your place in no time
You will be replaced by time itself
Fly away from the pain, hypnotized
Escape your pain and sorrows, entranced by time
Now waste away
Fade away forever
Time will take your place in no time
Another victim of time's unstoppable flow
Fly away for days hypnotized
Drift away into a time-induced trance
Now waste away, ooh
Now disappear without a trace
