Rapture
Harry Vincent Lyrics

Toe to toe
People are dancing very closely together

Dancing very close
Refers to how people are dancing in the nightclub

Barely breathing
The environment is so intense that people feel suffocated

Almost comatose
People are so mesmerized by the music and lights that they're almost unconscious

Wall to wall
The club is very crowded

People hypnotized
People are entranced by the energy of the club and the music

And they're stepping lightly
People are moving gracefully on the dance floor

Hang each night in Rapture
People spend their nights in this state of extreme enjoyment

Back to back
People are dancing close to each other in a synchronized way

Sacroiliac
Refers to a specific type of dance which has a certain hip movement

Spineless movement
Refers to the fluidity and gracefulness of the dance

And a wild attack
The dance is so energetic that it seems like an attack

Face to face
People are in close proximity and looking into each other's eyes

Sadly solitude
Despite being surrounded by so many people, people still feel lonely

And it's finger popping
People snap their fingers along to the music

Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture
People are so addicted to the club that they frequent it incessantly

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
The artist has heard that everyone who goes to Rapture is high on drugs

DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
The music played at the club is therapeutic for the singer

Flash is fast, Flash is cool
The lights at the club are attractive and compelling

Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
This line is nonsensical and likely meant to mirror the frenzied state of club-goers

And you don't stop, sure shot
The club-goers keep going non-stop

Go out to the parking lot
Club-goers take their energy outside to continue their party in the parking lot

And you get in your car and you drive real far
Club-goers continue their party even after they leave the club by driving around town

And you drive all night and then you see a light
The artist is describing the surreal experience of being high and driving around

And it comes right down and lands on the ground
The singer is seeing things that are not actually there

And out comes a man from Mars
The singer is hallucinating

And you try to run but he's got a gun
The singer feels threatened by the things he is hallucinating

And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
The artist's fears are manifesting in his mind

And then you're in the man from Mars
The artist has lost touch with reality and his mind is consumed by his hallucinations

You go out at night, eatin' cars
The singer describes a man's obsession with eating anything he comes across, including cars

You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
The man eats expensive cars to satisfy his obsession

Mercury's and Subaru's
The man eats up more common cars too

And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
The man continues his destructive behavior

Then, when there's no more cars
The man's obsession ultimately leads him to destroy all cars in the area

You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
The man's obsession turns to destroying bars and places where people socialize

Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
Despite his destructive behavior, the man seeks human connection

One to one, man to man
The man is seeking intimacy

Dance toe too toe
The man is still expressing his desire to dance and connect with others

Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
The man wants to dance with urgency and not waste any time

Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
The man's obsession shifts to destroying bars and other social spaces

Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
The man is destroying everything in his path

He's gonna eat 'em all
The man is unstoppable

Rapture, be pure
The singer is calling for the club-goers to be true to themselves and avoid getting consumed by their lifestyle

Take a tour, through the sewer
The artist is suggesting that the club-goers take a figurative tour through the dark side of their lifestyle

Don't strain your brain, paint a train
Instead of exhausting oneself mentally, the artist is suggesting that club-goers should enjoy themselves by indulging in harmless activities

You'll be singin' in the rain
The artist is suggesting that by being true to oneself, one can enjoy life like singing in the rain

I said don't stop, to punk rock
The singer is a fan of punk rock and is suggesting that people should keep listening to it

Well now you see what you wanna be
The artist is suggesting that people should be true to themselves and not try to be someone else

Just have your party on TV
The singer is suggesting that people can enjoy themselves without consuming drugs or indulging in unhealthy behaviors

Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
The singer is suggesting that people can avoid destructive behaviors by staying entertained at home

And now he's gone back up to space
The singer is suggesting that the destructive influence of Rapture has faded away

Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
The artist is saying that people can avoid conflict by keeping to themselves

And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
The artist is suggesting that people can keep enjoying music and expressing themselves without indulging in destructive behaviors

Just blast off, sure shot
The singer is suggesting that people should keep enjoying themselves, with music as the main outlet

Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
The singer is again suggesting that the destructive influence of Rapture has faded away

And now he only eats guitars, get up!
The artist is suggesting that people have nothing to fear anymore and should enjoy themselves without worry
