Pressure
Martin Garrix Ft. Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still tasting you
Pacing 'round for days
Crave you back with me
Pretend I'll be good
Gimme silence, silence, I just need your touch
Know your violence, violence, hides on the tip of your tongue
Always under pressure
(Pressure, uh)
Can't take it back
When you talk like that, no
You make me see red
Still end up in my bed
Know I want that sweat
Yeah, yeah
Gimme silence, silence, I just need your touch
Know your violence, violence, hides on the tip of your tongue
In the darkness, darkness, we go on and on
Always under pressure
(Pressure, uh)
I don't, I don't know what to do
Tension just feels so thick in the room
I don't, don't know
I don't, I don't know what to do
Tension just feels so thick in the room
Oh, yeah
Always under pressure
Gimme silence, silence, I just need your touch
Know your violence, violence, hides on the tip of your tongue
In the darkness, darkness, we go on and on
Always under pressure
In the song "Pressure," Martin Garrix sings about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is still deeply affected by the loss of their partner and is "still tasting" them. They pace around for days and crave their ex-partner back, even though they know they should "be good" and move on. The chorus is an admission that the relationship was always under pressure, and the partner's violence (whether physical or emotional) was always hidden, making it difficult for the singer to navigate the relationship. Despite the pressure, the singer still wants their partner back and even succumbs to their desires, ending up in bed with them despite the unresolved tension.
The song has a melancholic and longing tone, depicting the complicated feelings that come with a failed relationship. The singer is torn between their desire for their ex-partner and their knowledge that the relationship was unhealthy. The lyrics' repetition emphasizes the singer's fixation on their ex-partner, while the chorus serves as a reminder that their relationship was always under pressure.
