Galvanize
Chemical Brothers / Q-Tip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With initiative to move, so why make it harder?
Don't hold back, if you think about it
So many people do, be cool man, look smarter
Don't hold back, and you shouldn't even care
'Bout the losers in the air and their crooked stares
Don't hold back, 'cause there's a party over here
So you might as well be here where the people care
Don't hold back, world (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
Galvanize
Come on, come on, come on with it
Don't hold back, if you think about it too much
You may stumble, trip up, fall on your face
Don't hold back, you think it's time you get up
Crunch time like a sit-up, pull monkey face
Don't hold back, put apprehension on the back burner
Let it sit, don't even get it lit
Don't hold back, get involved with the jam
Don't be a prick, hot chick be your fave
Don't hold back, world (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
Galvanize
Come on with that, come on with it
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, my finger is on the button
My finger is on the button
My finger is on the button (Push the button)
The time has come to
Galvanize

The repeated phrase “the time has come to galvanize” is essentially a call to action for everyone listening to the song to mobilize and take charge.

The song is upbeat and features a strong bassline, which adds to the overall feeling of empowerment and excitement. The mention of “pushing the button” in the chorus could be seen as a metaphor for taking control and making a big change in one’s life, perhaps even taking a risk to achieve one’s goals.
