Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're picture perfect blue
Sunbathing on the moon
Stars shining as your bones illuminate
First kiss just like a drug under your influence
Take me over you're the magic in my veins
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
No silver or no gold could dress me up so good
You're the glitter in the darkness of my world
Just tell me what to do, I'll fall right into you
Going under cast a spell just say the word
I feel your love.
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
You are the light and I will follow
You let me lose my shadow
You're the sun, a glowing halo
And you can keep burning up with your love, uh
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on, and on, and on
Boom! Clap! You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to me now
The lyrics of Charli XCX's "Boom Clap" describe the feeling of falling deeply in love. The opening lines set a dreamy scene with the description of the listener lounging on the moon and the stars illuminating their bones. The "first kiss just like a drug under your influence" emphasizes the addictive nature of falling in love. The chorus comprises two phrases: "Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart" and "You make me feel good. Come on to me, come on to me now." The use of onomatopoeias adds emphasis to the beat of the heart as it races with excitement. The song delves deeper into the listener's emotions with lyrics that describe the power of the person they love, how their love can cast a spell on the listener and make them feel like they'll do anything for them. The final stanza accentuates the idea that the loved one is the listener's guiding light, always leading them to a brighter future. The bridge repeats the chorus phrases and reinforces the idea of the intense passion that is almost palpable in the track.
