Forces
Japanese Wallpaper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And don't know any
Heavy on your shoulders, often, often
That settle for these forces
You're feeling in your bones
But you don't act on it
There's something in your heart
But you won't talk, talk, talk about it
'Cause I've been thinking bout it
And I've been dreaming bout you
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
Have anything what I do
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
See nothing
And I've lost it
And what you've got is magic, oh
Through in all
Close your eyes and let it follow you
'Cause I've been thinking bout it
And I've been dreaming bout you
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
Have anything what I do
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
See nothing
And I've lost it
And what you've got is magic, oh
Through in all
Close your eyes and let it follow you
You feel in your bones
But you don't act on it
There's something in your heart
But you won't talk, talk, talk about it
The sensor in is my mind, is to give me up
You feel in your bones
But you don't act on it
There's something in your heart
But you won't talk, talk, talk about it
The sensor in is my mind, is to give me up
'Cause I've been thinking bout it
And I've been dreaming bout you
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
Have anything what I do
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
See nothing
And I've lost it
And what you've got is magic, oh
Through in all
Close your eyes and let it follow you
'Cause I've been thinking bout it
And I've been dreaming bout you
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
Have anything what I do
Won't do a thing about this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
I've been tripping on you
See nothing
And I've lost it
And what you've got is magic, oh
Through in all
Close your eyes and let it follow you
The song "Forces" by Japanese Wallpaper delves into the complexities of the heart and the mind when it comes to matters of romantic feelings. The lyrics touch upon the internal conflict and confusion that arise when one is enthralled by another person but is hesitant to act on their emotions due to fear of the consequences. The lines "You're feeling in your bones/ But you don't act on it/ There's something in your heart/ But you won't talk, talk, talk about it" allude to this hesitation.
The chorus is a repetition of the same lines, highlighting the emotional turmoil: "I've been thinking bout it/ And I've been dreaming bout you/ Won't do a thing about this/ 'Cause I don't wanna ruin you/ I've been tripping on you/ Have anything what I do/ Won't do a thing about this/ 'Cause I don't wanna ruin you." The singer admits to thinking and dreaming about the other person but ultimately decides not to act on their feelings for fear of ruining what they have.

I've been thinking bout it on my own
I've been pondering this situation by myself
And don't know any
And have no answers
Heavy on your shoulders, often, often
It feels like a heavy burden on your shoulders, often recurring
That settle for these forces
That are content with the current situation
You're feeling in your bones
You can sense it in your gut
But you don't act on it
But you don't do anything about it
There's something in your heart
You have a feeling in your heart
But you won't talk, talk, talk about it
But you won't express it verbally or take action
The sensor in is my mind, is to give me up
The detector in my mind is causing me to give up
'Cause I've been thinking bout it
Because I've been pondering this situation
And I've been dreaming bout you
And I've been having dreams about you
Won't do a thing about this
I won't take any action on this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
Because I don't want to cause any harm to you
I've been tripping on you
I've been infatuated with you
Have anything what I do
No matter what I do
See nothing
I don't perceive anything
And I've lost it
And I've lost control
And what you've got is magic, oh
And you possess something magical
Through in all
Through it all
Close your eyes and let it follow you
Relax and allow yourself to be led by the magic
You feel in your bones
You have a gut feeling
But you don't act on it
But you don't take any action based on it
There's something in your heart
You have a feeling in your heart
But you won't talk, talk, talk about it
But you won't express it verbally or take action
The sensor in is my mind, is to give me up
The detector in my mind is causing me to give up
'Cause I've been thinking bout it
Because I've been pondering this situation
And I've been dreaming bout you
And I've been having dreams about you
Won't do a thing about this
I won't take any action on this
'Cause I don't wanna ruin you
Because I don't want to cause any harm to you
I've been tripping on you
I've been infatuated with you
Have anything what I do
No matter what I do
See nothing
I don't perceive anything
And I've lost it
And I've lost control
And what you've got is magic, oh
And you possess something magical
Through in all
Through it all
Close your eyes and let it follow you
Relax and allow yourself to be led by the magic

I’ve been thinking 'bout it
On my own, and all morning
Heavy on your shoulders
Over and over, I’d settle for those forces
You feel it in your bones but you won’t act on it
There’s something in your heart but you won’t talk talk talk about it
The sun surrenders, my mind wants to give me up
Cause I’ve been thinking 'bout it
And I’ve been dreaming 'bout you
Won’t do a thing about this
Cause I don’t wanna ruin you, mm
I been, I been tripping on ya
Haven’t even got a clue
Won’t do a thing about this
Cause I don’t wanna ruin you
I’ve been tripping on your sweet nothings, and I’ve lost it
And what you’ve got is magic
Over and over, close your eyes and let it floor you
Cause I’ve been thinking 'bout it
And I’ve been dreaming 'bout you
Won’t do a thing about this
Cause I don’t wanna ruin you, mm
I been, I been tripping on ya
Haven’t even got a clue
Won’t do a thing about this
Cause I don’t wanna ruin you
You feel it in your bones but you won’t act on it
There’s something in your heart but you won’t talk talk talk about it
The sun surrenders, my mind wants to give me up
You feel it in your bones but you won’t act on it
There’s something in your heart but you won’t talk talk talk about it
The sun surrenders, my mind wants to give me up
Cause I’ve been thinking 'bout it
And I’ve been dreaming 'bout you
Won’t do a thing about this

Heard the song on Scream The TV Series :) Loved it the first time I heard it!
@bigtux11
Someone here commented about how sad it was that they, as an Australian, knew so little of the Australian music scene. The same could be said about Aussie cinema. We spend so much money and time marketing international productions, that our own efforts tend to get swept under the rug.
@Carlos53940
Who's still listening in 2020?
@magicalsaturn1330
I feel sad that I'm the only one who liked this. Amazing song :)
@dikless222
Love this...
