Currents
Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't think twice
We're still in formation
Testing the current
Already I'm sailing, it's all so sudden
Catching a flight
You think we're moving too fast, I'm intoxicated
We can move in slow motion if that's what you want, babe
I don't want to come on too strong
But I'm moving to your rhythm

With every move, with every move you make, babe
Oh, I'm tumblin'

(What, what, what, what)
(What, what, what, what)

In your own time
Would you show me something please, babe?
Don't wanna wait in vain
You're the missing piece I, I been longing for
Don't deny, oh no
The temperature's rising inside
The cracks are showing
Show me all your colors, I may not deserve you

I don't want to come on too strong
But I'm moving to your rhythm

With every move, with every move you make, babe
Oh, I'm tumblin'

(What, what, what, what)
(What, what, what, what)




(What, what, what, what)
(What, what, what, what)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Drake's song "Currents" describe a relationship that is still in formation, but progressing quickly. The singer seems to be swept up in the momentum of the relationship, already "sailing" on the "current" that they are testing. The rapid pace of the relationship is causing some concern, as the singer mentions that their partner thinks they are moving too fast and that they can "move in slow motion if that's what you want." Despite this, there is a sense of urgency in the lyrics - the singer wants to be shown something by their partner and implores them not to "deny" what they are feeling.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the power that the partner has over the singer - they are "moving to [their] rhythm" and tumbling with every move they make. There is a sense of vulnerability in the lyrics, as the singer admits that they may not deserve their partner and that they want to see "all [their] colors." Overall, the lyrics to "Currents" paint a picture of a relationship that is thrilling, but perhaps not entirely stable.
