Juliet & Romeo
Martin Solveig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

World's moving so slow
Got my hand out the window
Lose track of time and memory
Losing my mind in the palm trees
Got me believing you're so shy
You catch me looking and you hide your eyes
Leaving behind the reality
Become the cool of formalities

You know we should be dancing
Tell me that you wanna go, dancing
You and me in stereo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
You and I, we gotta keep dancing
Oh yeah, sweating in the afterglow, dancing
Juliet and Romeo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
Girl, stop hiding

Hide
Oh-oh
Girl, stop hiding

World's moving so slow
Got my hand out the window
Lose track of time and memory
Losing my mind in the palm trees

You know we should be dancing
Oh yeah, tell me that you wanna go, dancing
You and me in stereo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
You and I, we gotta keep dancing
Oh yeah, sweating in the afterglow, dancing
Juliet and Romeo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
Girl, stop hiding

Baby, you know we should be dancing
Dancing
Dancing




Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
Girl, stop hiding

Overall Meaning

The song Juliet & Romeo by Martin Solveig and Roy Woods is about getting lost in the moment of a summer romance, letting go of reality, and enjoying the rush of the present. The lyrics start off by describing the feeling of being in a slow-moving world while sticking your hand out of the window, possibly while driving through palm trees. The scene sets the mood for the rest of the song, which is all about losing track of time, reality, and memory, intoxicated by the moment of partying and dancing.


The song's title "Juliet & Romeo" refers to the famous tragic Shakespearean love story, which sets up the idea of two lovers who refuse to be separated despite the odds. Roy Woods describes his attraction to a shy girl who hides her eyes when she catches him looking, creating a playful and sensual atmosphere. The lyrics encourage the girl to stop hiding and let go of her inhibitions to dance with him. The chorus repeats the idea of dancing and being intoxicated, showing the complete immersion in the moment.


Overall, Juliet & Romeo is about the excitement of living in the present, disregarding the world's rules, and exploring fleeting summer romances. The song sets the mood of being at a summer party, and the lyrics convey a message of letting go and living in the now.

I’m so thrilled to present you ‘Juliet & Romeo’ both the track and the music video. It’s a song that is very special to me, almost like a reminiscence from last summer in Ibiza. Having the talented Roy Woods singing on this one adds a new dimension to it!

I’ll be back with tons of new music in 2020 so until then, let’s make ‘Juliet & Romeo’ a bop! 🧡

Martin
