Hello! I See You!
Electric Six Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listening, learning
And feel the world turning
And tasting all the smells
As our flesh is burning

I wish I could see it from a dizzying height
I wish I could see you seeing me tonight
And it's a new kind of love when you get touched by his glove
And you get blinded by the flash photo picture of
Picture of, your new master

And your heart starts to beat a little faster
America wakes up to a brand new morning
As he appears in the night' skies without warning

And it's a new day's dawn and the thrill is never gone
And there's a fire sign burning like hell on my lawn
And now it's getting exciting the interest has peaked
He's gonna take us down to play a little hide and seek

Here it goes
Hello, I see you
Hello, there
Hello, I see you
Hello, there

It's the end of times and of the conversation
And everybody clinging to their soul salvation
I find all their pleas for mercy so annoying
Hello, destructor I'm yours for the destroying

Now he's an evil trend setter he's a heavy heavy petter
When you lose one of your senses all the others get better
It's the natural selection, the synthetic horn section
He lives to astound

Take it down
Take it down
Here it goes

Hello, I see you
Hello, there
Hello, I see you
Hello, there

Magic eyes and hocus-pocus
And now our blur is clearer than our focus
And now we're getting our just desserts
Because the music hurts, but the music hurts, hurts

Hello, I see you, hello, there
Hello, I see you (Hello I want you to know)
Hello, there (I'm gonna to join the cast of your one man show)
Hello, I see you ('Cause time, it urgently marches on)
Hello, there (Everything's going to be totally cool from now on)

Hello, hello hello, hello
Hello, hello hello, hello




Hello, hello hello, hello
Hello, hello hello, hello

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Electric Six's song Hello! I See You! appear to be about the experience of falling in love with someone who is famous, and the power dynamic that comes with that. The line "And it's a new kind of love when you get touched by his glove" seems to refer to the idea of being touched by someone famous, or "gloved" by their fame. The "flash photo picture" from which the singer gets "blinded" may represent the intense media scrutiny that comes with celebrity.


The chorus, "Hello, I see you, Hello, there," seems to express the singer's desire to be noticed by the famous person they admire. They want to connect with them on a personal level, but are aware that this may not be possible given their unequal status. The lines "It's the end of times and of the conversation / And everybody clinging to their soul salvation" suggest a sense of desperation or urgency, as if time is running out for the singer to make their move or be noticed.


The bridge, "Magic eyes and hocus-pocus / And now our blur is clearer than our focus" suggests that the singer is caught up in a heightened, almost surreal experience of love and obsession. The music itself is intense and driving, with distorted guitar riffs and pounding drums, suggesting a sense of urgency and passion.


Overall, the lyrics to Hello! I See You! are a commentary on the power of fame and the way it can distort our perceptions of reality. The singer is caught up in a whirlwind of love and obsession, but is aware that their feelings may not be reciprocated. The song is a catchy, energetic anthem that captures the intensity of first love, and the thrill of being noticed by someone we admire.
