Cannonball
Matthew Koma and Zedd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't even know if it's yours or mine,
Projected by your fear inside
But I could see the light
Yey, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake, quake
Show us what you got,
when the motherf-cking beat drops
Make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake, quake
You and I we're honesty
The day in Taipei intensity
It's me against you, and
It's you against me
It's so hard to breath
Yey, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake
Shake, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake
Rockin' an earthquake
Rockin' an earthquake
Show us what you got,
when the motherf-cking beat drops
We can make the ground shake
Rockin' an earthquake
The song Cannonball by Matthew Koma and Zedd is a powerful expression of two people who have lost their minds, and who find solace and safety in each other. The opening lines express the confusion and chaos that surrounds the two protagonists, with neither knowing if it is their own mind that is playing tricks on them or if it is the other's fears that are projected onto them. Yet, amidst all this confusion, they can still see the light, a beacon of hope that they can escape and start anew. The rest of the song speaks to their bond and strength when facing adversity, with the repeated chorus "when you're ready to escape, I'll be your shelter from the rain" offering a powerful promise of protection.
The song could speak to many who feel overwhelmed and isolated in their own struggles, and who long for someone to share the burden with. The reference to the earthquake and making the ground shake, can reflect the idea of causing a powerful impact in their own lives, shaking things up, and creating something new.

0:00 Turn on your speakers to 3/4 volume
0:51 start to turn the music up to max
1:02 you start to freak out and dance like crazy because the drop was deadly
1:21 you find creepers
1:25 you calm down and reduce the volume to 3/4 again to get ready for the next drop
2:08 you think the second drop I happening but they fooled u its not
2:31 you start to put the volume to max
2:44 you freak out and dance again because the drop was AMAZING
Then you keep the volume at max till the end...
Then repeat!!!!!

You and I have lost our minds
I don't even know which thoughts are mine
You're projected by a fear inside
But I can see the light
Say when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me and we can make the ground shake
Like an earthquake [3x]
Show us what you got when the motherf- beat drops
Make the, make the ground shake
Like an earthquake [2x]
You and I are honesty
A sedated type-A intensity
When it's me against you
And it's you against me
It's so hard to breathe
Say when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me and we can make the ground shake
Like an earthquake
Say when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me and we can make the ground shake
Like an earthquake [4x]
Show us what you got when the motherf- beat drops
Make the, make the ground shake
