Magnet
Lindsay Lohan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know whether I should hate it or should like it
The way you read through me I'd swear you were a psychic
And I tried to not reach for the phone
But something bigger makes me call you
I don't know what to do
I'm into you.

[Chorus:]
Is it gravity, chemistry, physically pulling me
What could it be boy
Cause I'm so drawn to you
Like a fool
I keep coming back, it's true
I can't stand it
You're like a magnet.
You're like a magnet.

I don't know whether I should move on or should move in
Maybe a part of me is fine with never knowing
Cause I try to leave, but that won't work
Cause being strong just makes it worse so
What should I do? I'm torn into two

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Oh come a little closer cause I'm loving you, loving you, loving you
Oh come a little closer cause I'm missing you, missing you, missing you
Oh come a little closer cause I'm loving you, loving you, loving you, loving you
You

[Chorus]

You're like a magnet
You're like a magnet
I keep coming back
I keep coming back




I keep coming back
You're like a magnet

Overall Meaning

In Lindsay Lohan's song Magnet, she is describing her conflicted feelings towards a person that she feels incredibly drawn to. She is torn between the desire to distance herself from this person and the heightened emotional pull that keeps bringing her back to them. Despite her attempts to resist her attraction to them, she feels helpless in their presence - like they have some kind of magnetic force on her. She questions whether this connection is purely physical and chemistry-driven, or if there is something deeper like gravity that is keeping her tethered to them.


It seems as though the relationship Lindsay is describing is one that is, at least on some level, out of her control. She questions whether she should "hate it or should like it," implying that she might not actually want to be in this situation. However, despite her reservations and attempts to move on, she keeps being pulled back to this person like clockwork. She feels like she is being read like an open book, and that this person has some sort of psychic ability to understand her on a deeper level than anyone else can.


Overall, Magnet is a song about the emotional and physical forces that can bind us to other people, sometimes against our better judgement. It touches on the idea that sometimes, despite our best efforts to resist someone, we find ourselves drawn to them in a way that feels out of our control.
