Release the Pressure
Leftfield Feat. Earl Sixteen 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
(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 to Leftfield's song "Release the Pressure" convey themes of fighting against the pressures of life and the search for love, peace, and unity. The repetition of "I've got to stand and fight in this creation" highlights the tough nature of life and the need to persevere. The line "Vanity I know can't guide I alone" is a reminder that the pursuit of material possessions and external validation alone cannot bring true happiness. Rather, the search for a lasting love and a sense of unity is paramount. The repeated call to "release the pressure" can be seen as a way to let go of the stresses of life and find inner peace.
The addition of the repeated "Bruin-dah!" serves as a way to add emphasis to the call for release and the need for movement. The following lines, "Can you feel it? Release the pressure! Can you hear it? Peace and unity" double down on the need for release and the hope for unity.
The verse "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!" can be interpreted in different ways. One possible interpretation is a commentary on the entertainment industry and how it provides an escape from the harsh realities of life. The Transalt movement may be a reference to a subculture or movement that is countering societal norms. The final line "Am I inferior? Wow...you are!" may be a call to reject societal expectations and to find one's own path.
