Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak
I feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
All that no one sees
You see
What's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts you heal
Deep inside of me
You don't have to speak
I feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Confuse
Then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
In the song "Joga" by Ben Barnett, the singer is describing a deep and emotional connection with someone else. The opening lines, "All these accidents that happen / Follow the dot / Coincidence makes sense / Only with you," suggest that the singer and this other person have a special bond that is difficult to explain. They feel understood and seen in a way that can only happen with this one person.
The singer goes on to describe an "emotional landscape" that puzzles them - they are confused about their own feelings and emotions. But with this person, everything becomes clear. "Then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this / State of emergency," the singer says. Even though they describe it as a state of emergency, it's also where they want to be because it feels like home.
The song speaks to the power of connection and the importance of finding someone who understands and accepts you. It's a beautiful ode to love and the ways in which it can transform and heal us.
