Frankenstein
Cibelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Conclude I'm functioning correctly
So rest your heart
Caus' only you can stop me
From falling apart
And now I need to feel
The missing beat
The missing beat of my heart
For life
I do, I do
I do, I do
Under neon disco ligths
We pogo through the night
In the dry ice I catch a stare
I feel the fingers through my hair
Love like science, alchemy
Tonight the nightclubs are laboratory
I need a lightning bolt to this heart
To kick start my Frankenstein soul
For life
I do, I do
I do, I do
Under neon disco ligths
We pogo through the night
In the dry ice I catch a stare
I feel the fingers through my hair
Love like science, alchemy
Tonight the nightclubs are laboratory
I need a lightning bolt to this heart
To kick start my Frankenstein soul
For life
I do
In Cibelle's song "Frankenstein," the lyrics convey a sense of needing reanimation or jumpstarting in order to truly feel alive. The beginning lyrics "You conclude I'm functioning correctly, so rest your heart" suggest that the person singing the song is putting on a facade or acting as if everything is okay, when really they are struggling internally.Only the person they are addressing can "stop them from falling apart." They need to feel the "missing beat of (their) heart" in order to truly live life to the fullest.
