The group, which consists of best friends and brothers, Jean Paul Makhlouf, Alex Makhlouf and Samuel Frisch first made their way into the hearts of core dance music enthusiasts with their vibrant remixes for the likes of Nicky Romero ("Symphonica"), Capital Cities ("Safe And Sound"), Vicetone (βHeartbeatβ ft. Collin McLoughlin) and Krewella ("Alive"); as well as Bruno Mars (βTreasureβ), Calvin Harris (βLetβs Goβ ft. Ne-Yo) and Nervo & Hook N Sling (βReasonβ), several which have reigned on the Hype Machine charts.
But the trio truly impresses with their originally produced material, including Krewellaβs next single, "Live For the Night," coming just before their first official Big Beat release, "Take Me Home" ft. Bebe Rexha, dropping on July 16th along with a remix package to all digital retailers. The track recently premiered during the trioβs guest mix on Nicky Romero's βProtocol Radioβ Sirius/XM Radio show and officially debuted on BPM, hailed as the βbest new trackβ¦ heard in a long timeβ by host, Austin Kramer.
The groupsβs fusion of captivating pop vocals and signature banging electro-house beats have already captivated dance music insiders and tastemakers like elektro magazine, Complexβs Do Androids Dance and Dancing Astronaut, who named Cash Cash one of their βfive breakthrough artists for summer 2013.β Expect to hear more praise for this crowd-pleasing act from EDM and pop music fans and writers alike.
Dynamite
Cash Cash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let it get the best of me
22 years late but now on time
I won my war and now I'm fine
You're still here but barely whole
You never seem to take control
You're trucking through the years alone
Light me up like dynamite
Don't need a hit when I'm with you
Fall into my bed, don't fight
A little love to get you through
Always knew you'd stay the same
But I'll tell it straight, I'm done today
'Cause I missed it once, can't miss it twice
I'm not giving up this chance, this one last dance
Light me up like dynamite
Don't need a hit when I'm with you
Fall into my bed, don't fight
A little love to get you through
Light me up like dynamite
Don't need a hit when I'm with you
Catch a breath for the last goodbye
We're setting off with something new
We're setting off to something new
Look and you'll find something simple deep inside
But you never take the time, let it breathe, give it time
You don't need the rush to ease the pain
Just take the cards and play the game
Light me up like dynamite
Don't need a hit when I'm with you
Fall into my bed, don't fight
A little love to get you through
Light me up like dynamite
Don't need a hit when I'm with you
Catch a breath for the last goodbye
We're setting off with something new
The lyrics of Dynamite by Cash Cash are a powerful expression of self-discovery, love and taking chances. The first verse, "I never knew myself enough and let it get the best of me, 22 years late but now on time, I won my war and now I'm fine" indicates that the singer had a troubled past and didn't truly understand themselves, but they have finally won their own personal battle and now feel much better. The second verse is directed towards someone else who is struggling, "You're still here but barely whole, you never seem to take control, you're trucking through the years alone, just to find me waiting here still by your side." This person has not yet found their way, but the singer has patience and is willing to wait for them to figure things out.
The chorus is an expression of the singer's passionate love for the person they are addressing. They are asking to be lit up like dynamite, which is an obvious reference to explosive chemistry and passion. They do not need drugs or alcohol to feel good, they only need their lover, "don't need a hit when I'm with you, fall into my bed, don't fight, a little love to get you through." They are so confident in their feelings that they are willing to take a chance and declare that they are not going to let this opportunity to be together slip away, "I'm not giving up this chance, this one last dance."
In the last verse, the singer gives advice to the person they love. They are telling them to take the time to look within themselves and understand who they are, "look and you'll find something simple deep inside, but you never take the time, let it breathe, give it time." They also encourage them to embrace the journey of life, even if it is sometimes painful, "you don't need the rush to ease the pain, just take the cards and play the game." The final chorus is optimistic and hopeful, "we're setting off with something new." The singer and their lover are going to start a new chapter in their lives together, full of love and adventure.
