Meteorites
London Elektricity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at your eyes, they're meteorites
Maybe we're meant to crash from the sky
To meet eye to eye like meteorites
You're rushing through the darkness
With a tail of fire
I was just gonna leave here
Will curiosity kill me
When meteors hit the ground
How can I escape now
I see craters all around
In my laboratory
I study the matter
Supernatural force
I keep putting my shield up
I keep reading the small print
One speeding star!
Don't know where you're from but I know you've come far
Look at your eyes, they're meteorites
Maybe we're meant to crash from the sky
To meet eye to eye like meteorites
Am I just a spectator
In this meteoric game
If I blink I might miss you
And it's driving me insane
You win, thumbs up, hands down
Do your art to me
Don't tell me what's possible
Just meteor shower me
From my observatory
I study the data
Elemental force
Switch off the force field
Downgrade my defenses
One speeding star
Don't know where you're from but I know you've come far
Look at your eyes, they're meteorites
Maybe we're meant to crash from the sky
To meet eye to eye like meteorites
The lyrics to London Elektricity's "Meteorites" describe an encounter between two individuals who are likened to meteorites falling from the sky.

The singer is fascinated by the meteorite's presence, and their interest is piqued by the unknown.
The lyrics suggest that the encounter is somewhat unexpected, with the singer admitting that they were on the verge of leaving before the meteorite caught their attention. The thought of the meteors hitting the ground and creating craters is a powerful image, reflective of the potential impact and destruction these elements can have. The lyrics convey a sense of wonder, excitement, and perhaps a little apprehension, as the singer contemplates the other-worldly experience.
Overall, the lyrics to "Meteorites" are thought-provoking and poetic, and they offer the listener a chance to consider the vastness of the universe and the potential impact of unexpected encounters.

A few years ago, towards the end of my summer holidays transitioning from year 11 into sixthform, my appendix became infected and I headed to the hospital for what I thought would be a routine operation. Through what could only be a lot of misfortune things didn't go to plan and I ended up fighting infections that ended up spreading to all of my organs. The 3 day expected recovery time turned into 3 months of roller-coaster hope and disappointment for my family and friends as I was readmitted to hospital for emergency surgery over and over again. Through the illness I lost almost two stone, dropping to just 8st 13lb at 6' tall which wasn't a pretty sight and I was so weak I couldn't even stay awake for 2 hours.
This song means a lot to me. It was the song I remember listening to for those long weeks in the hospital while I wondered when I'd finally be healthy again. I remember staring out of the window across the valley opposite longing to be outside adventuring in the sun. I don't listen to it much anymore because of the memories it invokes but the song has a special place in my heart.
