Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's too beautiful to spend
The evening is too magical
Too elaborate to end
The air here is so sweet
Much too pure to breath
It's already over
I don't wanna leave
Unified field
No one here is gonna leave
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can adore
Your scenery is unusual
It's illusive for me to view
The food is just delicious but I can't eat it like you do
The darkness all around us
It's the only thing I see
The music is so scared
It can never get me free
Unified field
No one here is gonna leave
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can adore
Your energy exhausts me
It drives you like a lash(?)
Your enthusiasm is contagious
It covers me like a rash
Your gravity is ...(?) supports me
It guides me through the crash
Unified field
No one here is gonna leave
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can adore
“Unified Field” is a song by Church that explores the idea of being in a perfect moment that one does not want to end. The song opens on the observation of how beautiful and magnificent the environment is, and how it feels just right to be there. The lines, “Your money is so pretty, It's too beautiful to spend, The evening is too magical, Too elaborate to end", suggest that the moment is so perfect that even spending money seems like a waste. The theme of being in a perfect moment is particularly strong as the artist notes that the air is too sweet, much too pure to breathe, and they don't want to leave.
The Unified Field referred to in the song's title is a metaphor for this moment of absolute perfection. The song’s chorus, “Unified field, No one here is going to leave, No one here you’ve seen before,” suggests that this moment is unique and personal to the artist. The people and things in this moment are new, never seen before. The magnetic strip pulls the artist deeper into the moment, one where they are captivated and do not want to leave. The last verse sums up the energy of the environment, concluding that this perfect moment is one they do not want to leave.
