Clean Bandit; Gorgon City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You run through me
Taking over
Eternally and completely
You lead the way
I run behind
You say jump
And I say what height
King of my castle
Plaing beats on my heart strings
Like Cupid's studio

Lioness to your fortress
King of my castle
Plaing beats on my heart strings

The lyrics to the song "Intentions" by Clean Bandit and Gorgon City describe a dynamic between two people where one is taking control and leading the other. The first verse compares the flow of the other person to a river that runs through the singer. The person seems to have complete control over the singer, leading the way and telling them what to do. The second verse continues with this theme, describing the singer as a lioness to the other person's fortress, and the other person as king of their castle.
The chorus simply repeats the word "intentions" multiple times, emphasizing the idea that both parties have a certain level of intention behind their actions. The bridge focuses on the complexities of a relationship, mentioning infatuation, circular thinking, manipulation, and pain, but also the importance of trust and the positive feelings of love.
Overall, the song seems to be about a relationship where one person is more dominant and in control, and the other is willing to follow along, even if it means sacrificing their own desires or preferences.
