Emotions
DefQon.1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you see the ice is melting?
Will you listen?
Will it sway you?
Why can't I see you movin'?

No it ain't right
How the sunlight
Haven't made the white doves take flight
This our time
Make it right now
Before the sun will drown us

Living in a summer haze
Counting freckles on our earth
Divin' in a sea of slow emotions

Feel the space between your lips
Trust the dolphins when they sing
'Bout the moment of our slow emotions

Slow emotions
Slow emotions
Slow emotions

Hey imagine
What will happen
If we keep on movin' faster
Will it end well
Can we smile still
If nothing ever changes

Is it perfect
If we leave it
And we let our dreams deceive us
Are we too late
What's the next base
Don't dare to dream no longer

Living in a summer haze
Counting freckles on our earth
Divin' an a sea of slow emotions

Feel the space between your lips
Trust the dolphins when they sing
'Bout the moment of our slow emotions

Slow emotions
Slow emotions
Slow emotions

Living in a summer haze
Counting freckles on our earth
Divin' an a sea of slow emotions

Feel the space between your lips
Trust the dolphins when they sing
'Bout the moment of our slow emotions

Slow emotions




Slow emotions
Slow emotions

Overall Meaning

The song "Emotions" by DefQon.1 is a reflective piece that asks the listener to ponder about the state of our world, particularly in relation to climate change. The lyrics start with a series of questions that challenge our senses and perception of the world around us. The line "Can you see the ice is melting?" is a striking reference to the melting glaciers and polar ice caps as a result of global warming. The song then talks about how we need to act now, giving us the sense of urgency through the lyric, "Before the sun will drown us."


The second verse is a warning about the consequences of our actions. The line, "Hey imagine what will happen if we keep on moving faster, will it end well, can we smile still if nothing ever changes," hints at the destruction that could occur if we continue living irresponsibly. The song ends with a call to trust our emotions, as exemplified by the reference to the dolphins and the sea.


Overall, "Emotions" speaks about a range of ideas, from climate change and the dangers of inaction, to the importance of living in harmony with nature and trusting our instincts. The song encourages the listener to open their eyes, understand the signs of our changing world, and take action before it's too late.
