Basement Jaxx started in Brixton, South London, UK in 1994, where they held a regular club night called Rooty, which would later become the name of their second album. The duo got their name from the location of the studio where they recorded their first EP - it was located in the basement of friends of Simon Ratcliffe.

In addition to their own work, Basement Jaxx have become in-demand remixers. Tracks such as 4 My People (which became a massive chart and club hit), Like I Love You and She Wants To Move have all had the Basement Jaxx remix treatment.

A Possibility
Basement Jaxx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lost for words this time
I'll spend my life looking vainly
So hard to find my place in this world
This world

If I could see a possibility
If I could see (if I could see) you here with me
I can't, can't wait, got lost in the forest

So blind, oh so blind
Even though there you are
If I could see a possibility
If I could see (if I could see) you here with me

If I could see, it would be so
If I could see, it would be so
So complete
You and Me

If I could see you
Here with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Basement Jaxx's song A Possibility are about the feeling of being lost and trying to find meaning and purpose in life. The singer is struggling to find their place in the world and is lost for words. The lyrics express the hope of finding a solution or a possibility that could change their life for the better. The singer is wishing they could see a possibility where the person they want to be with is with them, and that this would make their life complete.

The repeated line "if I could see you here with me" reinforces the theme of searching for something that is missing. The singer seems to be in a state of anxiety, as if time is running out and they are desperately seeking a solution. The metaphorical use of a forest suggests that the search for something in life is similar to trying to navigate through dense trees and foliage, where everything is confusing and obscured.
