In This Place
Julia Michaels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This lawless car ballet, what can it be?
Am I a baby pigeon sprouting wings to soar?
Was that a metaphor for something more?
Now I′m flying, my spirit's climbing
As I′m called through this far off maze
My body, my spirit aligning
Slaughter Race
What would you say if it turns out, oh, that I stay?
Would it be okay, here in this place?
'Cause you know that I love these fallen wires
Dumpster fires, burning tires
Everything that I desire
Everything that I desire
Now I'm flying, my spirit′s climbing
As I′m called through this far off maze
My body, my spirit aligning
In this, in this place called Slaughter Race
Slaughter Race
I know I should go but
I really don't want to yet
I really don′t want to yet
Yeah, I know I should go but
I really don't want to yet
I really don′t want to yet
There's nothing like Slaughter Race
Slaughter Race
It′s alright here in Slaughter Race
Alright here in Slaughter Race
Alright here in Slaughter Race
It's alright here in Slaughter Race, yeah
The song In This Place by Julia Michaels is featured in the Disney movie “Ralph Breaks the Internet.” The song features a character named Vanellope who is drawn to the excitement and unknowns in the game Slaughter Race. Throughout the song, she questions what it is about this place that calls to her and she compares herself to a baby pigeon sprouting wings to soar. She talks about dumpster fires, burning tires, and fallen wires, and how all of these things are everything she desires.
The lyrics in this song can be interpreted in many ways. It is all about finding your place and what you want in life. It highlights the idea that sometimes we may find ourselves drawn to something even if nobody else understands it. Slaughter Race is portrayed as a dark and lawless world yet it's the only place that Vanellope feels that she belongs. She contemplates leaving, but ultimately decides to stay because it feels like home. It's a powerful message about finding one's tribe in a place unexpected and sometimes unfamiliar.

@bmyaemeu.
I still remember that magical moment of being in the movie theater while this was playing in the credits, what a beautiful and underrated song.
@Mahororin
I had the same thought as it was ending in the theater. I heard the music and was enthralled. My two girls were ready to go but I had to stay and listen.
@carmay3600
When me and my daughters watched this at home I liked it so much I got them all up to dance. 🥰
@arthurball2326
Same for me!!!!! Takes me right to the end credits
@SpoonLegend
It wasn't that good. Definitely not as good as Owl fkin City
@darthb00b70
I know! This version was way better then when venelopy sang it.
@frankwhite1ne
The way they make her voice sound during the chorus is amazing it makes the whole song in my opinion.Producer did a amazing job
@jasonl4718
EDM/pop producer Ian Kirkpatrick!
@bigtony2499
Agreed. Production on this song is choice. Impressive how they managed to make such a great sounding pop/EDM song out of Penelope’s song.
@aivanespaldon6843
It's actually Venellope not penelope
