Electronics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The vivid colours of reality
There's a place out there beyond my grasp
A revolution in a looking glass
I've got to get this problem off my chest
I'm sick and tired of being second best
I'll rearrange my credibility
A fund raiser for a restless sea
Don't ever doubt me
What's come over you
Won't you forgive me
What are you gonna do?
Don't ever doubt me
What's come over you
Won't you forgive me
What are you gonna do
What will you do
I can't contain what's inside my head
I'm losing words that I must have read
Do you remember the time we spent
It seems that we were the main event
Have you a reason to behave like this
Maybe you need a psychoanalyst?
If you keep pushing me out of the door
For sure,
You'll never see me again
No one to talk to
What am I gonna do
You're never there
Right when I need you
Give me a cause
Give me a reason
For your applause
I'll commit treason
And in my mind I know I'm right
It's the same thing every night
You're not to blame so don't you cry
You don't need me so hurt my pride
In all that time I know we tried
Line by line and side by side
And still I pray that we'll get by
But it don't seem real and I don't know why
And in my mind I know I'm right
It's the same thing every night
You're not to blame so don't you cry
You don't need me so hurt my pride
And in my mind I know I'm right
It's the same thing every night
Why do you cry you're not to blame
When will you change this sad refrain
This sad refrain
Oh when will you change this sad refrain.
The lyrics of Electronic (Rock)'s song "Vivid" speak of a desire to see and experience the vivid colors of reality that exist outside of one's own imagination. The song expresses feelings of frustration at feeling held back or overlooked, and a desire to break free from this second-best status. The lyrics also touch on the theme of a strained relationship and a need for understanding and forgiveness between two people.
The singer in the song longs to experience something real and concrete, something beyond their own imagination. The line "A revolution in a looking glass" suggests a sense of possibility and change, but also a feeling of being separate from it. The singer is also frustrated with feeling like they are always in second place or not living up to their full potential. They seek to change their own credibility and become something greater than they are.
The second half of the song shifts to focus on a relationship that is fraught with tension and misunderstandings. The singer pleads with the other person to not doubt them and to forgive them for their mistakes. Yet, there is a sense of desperation and resignation in the lyrics, as the singer questions whether they will ever truly be understood or appreciated.
Overall, "Vivid" is a song that touches on universal themes of longing for something more, feeling held back or overlooked, and the difficulties of human relationships.

The vivid colours of reality
The bright and vibrant colors of what is real

A revolution in a looking glass
A change in perspectives that can be seen through the lens of a mirror
I've got to get this problem off my chest
I must express my issues and concerns openly
I'm sick and tired of being second best
I'm exhausted from never being the top priority
I'll rearrange my credibility
I'll work to improve my reputation
A fund raiser for a restless sea
An event to gather money for sea-related causes
Don't ever doubt me
Never lose faith in me
What's come over you
What's causing you to act this way
Won't you forgive me
Can't you offer me forgiveness
What are you gonna do?
What actions will you take in response to my actions
I can't contain what's inside my head
I can't keep my thoughts and emotions in check
I'm losing words that I must have read
I can't remember things that I should have known
Do you remember the time we spent
Do you recall the experiences we shared
It seems that we were the main event
It felt like we were the center of attention
Have you a reason to behave like this
Is there a justifiable cause for your behavior
Maybe you need a psychoanalyst?
Perhaps you require a professional therapist
If you keep pushing me out of the door
If you continue to reject me and eliminate me from your life
For sure, You'll never see me again
Absolutely, you will no longer have contact with me
No one to talk to
There is nobody I can converse with
What am I gonna do
How will I cope with this situation
You're never there
You are never present or available
Right when I need you
Exactly when I require your aid
Give me a cause
Provide me with a reason or motive
Give me a reason
Furnish me with justification or explanation
For your applause
In exchange for recognition and approval
I'll commit treason
I'll do something that is disloyal or unjustifiable
And in my mind I know I'm right
I am confident and certain in my thoughts and beliefs
It's the same thing every night
This is a recurring issue or situation
You're not to blame so don't you cry
I'm not blaming you so there is no need to be upset
You don't need me so hurt my pride
I feel rejected and it is damaging to my self-esteem
In all that time I know we tried
Throughout everything, I am aware that we put in effort
Line by line and side by side
Step by step and together
And still I pray that we'll get by
Despite everything, I hope we will overcome our obstacles
But it don't seem real and I don't know why
However, it doesn't feel feasible and I am unsure why
Why do you cry you're not to blame
Why are you crying when you are not at fault
When will you change this sad refrain
When will you alter this sorrowful tune
This sad refrain
This melancholy and repetitive melody
Oh when will you change this sad refrain.
Oh please make a modification to this sorrowful tune.

My biggest wish for the musical world is a new album from Electronic.
@michaelwilson2340
I think Johnny Marr had said Electronic had run it's course. But if The Psychedelic Furs can finally release an album, why not Electronic. If only New Order can take some time off from touring.
@AlessandroGimelli74
One of the most underrated song & group! Love them!
@nikoz6823
