EKG
Natalie Portman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Drop to the bed, I thought I was dead, no
I was barely alive
Stuck in my head, I had nothing left, no
You brought me to life
Kiss on the lips, God, I needed this, oh
I'm so glad you’re mine
Your love's like a shot, hurts
Good when it's hot, oh
Like a summer night

You are my music
You are my heartbeat, too, yeah
And when we do it, do it
I know I will get through it

I come alive, I hit flatline
Until you love me feel me, check the EKG
My heart’s like a house beat

E-K, check the EKG, G (Oh whoa)
E-K, check the EKG, G (Oh whoa)

Now feel the heat, feel my heartbeat, yeah
Run them in your arms
We come alive, we're alive tonight, yeah
We are shooting stars
Your galaxy's electricity, yeah
Makes me wanna move
Without your love, I'd be up above, yeah
Instead of here with you

You are my music
You are my heartbeat too, yeah
And when we do it, do it
I know I will get through it

I come alive, I hit flatline
Until you love me feel me, check the EKG
My heart's like a house beat

(E-K, check the EKG)




E-K, check the EKG, G (Oh whoa)
E-K, check the EKG, G (Oh whoa)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Natalie Portman's song "EKG" convey a narrative of being brought back to life through love and the electrifying energy that it brings. The opening lyrics paint a picture of feeling almost dead or lifeless until someone comes along and revives the singer. The kiss mentioned in the song symbolizes the life-giving force that the love of another person brings, and it is described as being both pleasurable ("hurts good when it's hot") and invigorating ("like a summer night").


The chorus emphasizes the significance of this person in the singer's life, comparing them to music and a heartbeat. Their presence is portrayed as essential for the singer to get through any challenges or difficulties that they may face. The lines "I hit flatline, until you love me, feel me, check the EKG" represent a powerful metaphor, suggesting that without this love, the singer's heart is stagnant and lifeless.


In the latter half of the song, the focus shifts to the mutual nature of the relationship. The love between the two individuals generates an intense heat and a pulsating rhythm, symbolized by the imagery of feeling the other person's heartbeat. The mention of being shooting stars and the reference to the other person's galaxy reinforces the idea of a cosmic connection and an electrifying energy between them.


Overall, "EKG" is a song that explores the transformative power of love, how it brings back life and vitality, and its ability to create a pulsating rhythm in the heart.

Stuck in my head, I had nothing left, no

Your love's like a shot, hurts good when it's hot, oh
Like a summer night

[Pre-Chorus]
You are my music
You are my heartbeat, too, yeah
And when we do it, do it
I know I will get through it
