Static
Colette Carr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, when we go numb
Oh, when we come down
High up on this chasin', hardly moving but it feels right

Drift away
The haze slows down the pulse
Latency
A mind of cruise control

What you want?
What you need?
Well I'll give you all or nothing
What you want?
What you need?
Is what I've got, trust me

Static, static, static, moves, oh
Static, static, stuck on you
Static, static, moves, oh, oh

We escape
We're lying on the moon
Stay awake
To see the naked truth

What you want?
What you need?
Well I'll give you all or nothing
What you want?
What you need?
Is what I've got, trust me

Static, static, static, moves, oh
Static, static, stuck on you
Static, static, moves, oh, oh

Oh, when we go numb
Oh, when we come down
High up on this chasin', hardly moving but it feels right

Static, static, static, moves, oh




Static, static, stuck on you
Static, static, moves, oh, oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Static" by Colette Carr is a song about escaping from reality and getting lost in a haze of drugs or other substances. The lyrics describe a feeling of being numb and disconnected from the world around them, and how that can be both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. The chorus repeats the word "static" over and over, which could represent the feeling of being stuck in one place, or the distortion that can be caused by a drug-induced haze.


The first verse describes the feeling of being high and feeling like they are chasing something, even though they aren't actually moving. The second verse describes the feeling of escaping reality altogether by going to the moon, where the truth is naked and exposed. The chorus reinforces the idea of being stuck in one place or feeling like they are in a state of limbo, with the word "static" repeated over and over again.


Overall, the song seems to be a warning about the dangers of getting lost in a haze of drugs or other substances, but at the same time it acknowledges the allure of that state of mind. It's a complex and nuanced exploration of a common experience that many people can relate to.

My god this is amazing. Should be number 1, far superior to 90% of what is in the actual charts today. Can't wait to get my remix finished.
