Carola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And worked my way through the crowd
I felt your hand on my shoulder
Didn't know what to do, when I looked at you
My heart was beating so loud
Your eyes were blue like the ocean
Your smile a flash in the night
And your magical spell was working so well
I fell in love at first sight
Help me 'cause I'm falling
I'm no longer on solid ground
And here it comes again that rumbling sound
Thunder and lightning
Caught in a landslide of love
I see a light that's burning so bright like fire
Thunder and lightning
Struck by the lovelight again
Losing control
My body and soul are burning
Yearning for your love
I went alone to the party
And now I'm leaving with you
Your kiss is almost electric
And a touch with a force, magnetic like yours
Is something I never knew
Help me 'cause I'm falling
I'm no longer on solid ground
And here it comes again that rumbling sound
Thunder and lightning... ×5
The lyrics of Carola’s “Thunder and Lightning” recount the story of falling in love at first sight. The singer goes alone to a party, works her way through the crowd, and suddenly feels the touch of the person who would become the subject of her affection. His eyes are described as blue like the ocean, and his smile is a “flash in the night.” The singer falls in love instantly, feeling her heart beating loudly and shivering all over. The magic of the person’s presence is so strong that the singer is caught in a “landslide of love.” She is struck by the “lovelight” and finds herself losing control, both physically and emotionally. The chorus, with its repetition of “Thunder and lightning,” emphasizes the force and intensity of the emotions being experienced, and the singer’s yearning for the object of her affection.

I went alone to the party
I attended the party without company
And worked my way through the crowd
I maneuvered through the throng of people present
I felt your hand on my shoulder
I experienced the sensation of your touch on my shoulder
Didn't know what to do, when I looked at you
I was perplexed when I gazed at you
My heart was beating so loud
My cardiovascular system was producing a strong thudding sound
Your eyes were blue like the ocean
The irises of your eyes had the color of the sea
Your smile a flash in the night
Your grin was a sudden occurrence in the night-time
You made me shiver all over
You caused my body to tremble all-around
And your magical spell was working so well
Your enchanting aura was functioning effectively
I fell in love at first sight
I experienced a sensation of romantic love towards you instantaneously
Help me 'cause I'm falling
Assist me because I'm descending
I'm no longer on solid ground
I'm no longer stable
And here it comes again that rumbling sound
The loud, rumbling sound is occurring once more
Thunder and lightning
A storm with crashing thunder and lightning strikes
Caught in a landslide of love
I'm swept up in an intense and consuming emotion of love
I see a light that's burning so bright like fire
I notice a shining light that's intense like fire
Thunder and lightning
Thunder and lightning
Struck by the lovelight again
I'm impacted by another bout of the magical feeling of love
Losing control
I'm unable to manage myself
My body and soul are burning
Both my physical body and spiritual essence are in a fervor
Yearning for your love
I'm experiencing a deep desire for your romantic love
I went alone to the party
I attended the party without company
And now I'm leaving with you
Currently, I'm departing with you
Your kiss is almost electric
Your kiss is close to being electrically charged
And a touch with a force, magnetic like yours
A caress with the power, magnetism like yours
Is something I never knew
It's an experience I've never had before
Help me 'cause I'm falling
Assist me because I'm descending
I'm no longer on solid ground
I'm no longer stable
And here it comes again that rumbling sound
The loud, rumbling sound is occurring once more
Thunder and lightning... ×5
