Fat Freddy's Drop/Jazzanova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a feeling that I can't describe
Something mystic in that soul connection
Something magic in your misty eyes
Don't you say that it's all the same
Don't you say that it's all the same, no
'cos there's something that I can't explain, 'bout this
I can't explain
Oh no ooh
Hey, yeah
Before the night is over
I wanna shake the question
I wanna leave it for now
Without another mention
We should be letting go
Instead of holding on
But in the eye in my mind
The mystery is born
No use in looking further
You know it isn't there
And you can stare all you want
The answers won't appear
Try to find it but I lose myself
I lose myself in you
I said, I lose myself in you
Yes, I lose myself in you
Yeah, I lose myself in you
Breathe easy lovers
Breathe easy lovers
Breathe easy lovers
Breathe easy lovers
Breathe easy
I know you're only wasting time
Breathe easy
Questioning between the lines
Breathe easy
Feeling knows no name
It is, what it is, and there's no explaining
What it is, what it is, yeah yeah eah
There's something natural in the way you touch me
It's a feeling that I can't describe
Something mystic in that soul connection
Something magic in your misty eyes
Don't you say that it's all the same
Don't you say that it's all the same, no
'Cause there's something that I can't explain, 'bout this
Something that I can't explain, yeah yeah
"Flashback" by Fat Freddy's Drop is a song about the inexplicable nature of the connection between two people. The opening lines suggest that the touch of the other person is natural and indescribable, and that there is something mystical and magical in their eyes. This connection and feeling is something that cannot be explained and the singer asks that it not be compared to anything as it is mysterious.
The second verse discusses the struggle in letting go of this feeling of mystery, the inability to find answers and the losing of oneself in the person they are connected to. The repetition of "Breathe easy lovers" serves as a reminder to let go of the questioning and just enjoy the moment.
The chorus repeats the opening lines, emphasizing the importance of the connection and its unexplainable nature. The song ends with the final line "Something that I can't explain", again drawing attention to the inexplicable nature of the connection.
