Gigamesh will release his debut self-titled EP October 18 through Our Label International. Fans will also have the chance to buy the extended version of the singleWhen You’re Dancing Ft. Induce exclusively on Beatport starting October 4th. Known for pushing the boundaries of dance music, Gigamesh opens the EP with disco-infused single “When You’re Dancing (feat. Induce)” with a hook that commands you to move. “It’s So Intense” lives up to its name as a hazy synth-driven club banger. EP closer “People” shows the melodic side of Gigamesh, lead by melodic vocals from Nicole Godiva while still incorporating bass guitar and synths.
Gigamesh has received considerable attention and support from DJs as diverse as DJ AM and Brodinski to Busy P and Fare Soldi for his bootleg remixes of artists like Animal Collecitve, Lykke Li and Radiohead, the latter two of which hit #1 on the Hype Machine. Through his widespread success, Gigamesh was hired to remix Mike Posner’s “Cooler Than Me” in late 2009. Ultimately chosen to be the first single on Posner’s debut album, the Gigamesh version went on to sell over 2.5 million copies and hit the#6 position on Billboard.
So Long
Gigamesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I desperately want you with me tonight
My heart is burning, girl you know I need ya
I've waited for so long
I wanna feel your head up on my shoulder
You're an obsession that I can't deny
Girl in the seconds until I can hold ya
So long
So long
So long
Been too long since I've had the chance to see ya
I desperately want you with me tonight
My heart is burning, girl you know I need ya
I've waited for so long
I wanna feel your head up on my shoulder
You're an obsession that I can't deny
Girl in the seconds until I can hold ya
I've waited for so long
So long
So long
So long
(So long)
(So long)
(So long)
So long
So long
So long
So long
So long
The lyrics to Gigamesh's song So Long express a longing for someone after a period of separation. The singer expresses the desire to be physically close to their loved one, craving the feeling of having their partner's head resting on their shoulder. The repetition of the phrase "So long" throughout the song emphasizes the extent of the singer's yearning and emphasizes how long they have been waiting for this moment.
The lyrics also suggest an element of obsession on the part of the singer. He cannot deny the attraction he feels for his significant other and has been waiting for what seems like an eternity to be reunited with them. This could be interpreted as a sign of a deep, intense love or as a potentially unhealthy attachment to the other person.
Overall, the song conveys the intense desire to connect with another human being, both physically and emotionally. It highlights the euphoria of being reunited with someone after a long separation, and the joy that comes from finally being able to hold them close again.
