Release the Pressure
Leftfield & Channy Leaneagh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this creation
Vanity I know
Can't guide I alone
I'm searching to find
A love that lasts all time
I've just got to find
Peace and unity
(Release the pressure)
I've got to stand and fight
In this creation
Vanity I know
Can't guide I alone
I'm searching to find
A love that lasts all time
I've just got to find
Peace and unity
(Bruin-dah!)
Can you feel it?
Release the pressure!
Can you hear it?
Peace and unity.
(Release the pressure)
Build's got this to keep your funky dance sway (eh-heh)
Why your laws have left me
Out of the king and out of the rain
Transalt movement is takin' over
Am I inferior?
Wow... you are!
The lyrics of Leftfield & Channy Leaneagh's "Release The Pressure" convey a deep sense of urgency and determination to find inner peace and unity in the face of the chaos and vanity present in the world. The repeated line "I've got to stand and fight in this creation" suggests a commitment to take action and confront the challenges that arise, rather than just succumbing to them. The reference to vanity highlights the superficiality of society, and the need for something more meaningful to guide oneself. The desire to find "a love that lasts all time" points to the ultimate goal of achieving lasting connections and harmony, rather than short-term fulfillments.
The chorus, with its powerful exhortation to "Release the pressure", seems to suggest a letting go of the stresses and tensions that impede progress towards inner peace and unity. The use of the word "bruin-dah" (which is actually a mishearing of "brewin' up") adds to the intensity and urgency of the song, while the call-and-response of "Can you feel it?" and "Can you hear it?" creates a sense of shared experience and collective energy. The final line, "Am I inferior? Wow... you are!" challenges any notions of superiority or inferiority, promoting instead the idea of equality and mutual respect.
