Distortion
David Guetta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A little distortion in my left ear
A little distortion tell me can't you hear
A little distortion in my left ear
A little distortion tell me can't you hear

Cause it feels good to me
Makes me feel alright
It feels good to me

Makes my burdens light

Overall Meaning

In David Guetta's song Distortion, the lyrics talk about the singer experiencing some distortion in his left ear and asking the listener if they can also hear it. The repeated chorus of "a little distortion" gives the impression of a catchy tune that is easy to dance to. The lyrics are simple but effective in describing how distortion can still feel good and make the singer feel alright despite the imperfection. This can be seen as a metaphor for life, as sometimes things may not be perfect, but they can still bring joy and lightness to our lives.

Additionally, throughout the song, the distortion can be heard in the instrumental track, which can add to the sense of chaos and dissonance conveyed in the lyrics. The heavy electronic beat and synthesizers helps to convey the feeling of a club-like atmosphere, where people dance to the beat of the music, regardless of any imperfections.
