Strange Transmissions
Norah Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't think, we'll stay
Drawn through the ebb
Lost in the flow
Beneath my breath, I confess
My world, loved less
The devil held the proof
I could only fight
For the longest while
But with the truth out, baby
I belong to you
I stoop to find
My place, entwined
I took it to the bottom
One more time
I could only fight
For the longest while
But with the truth out, baby
I belong to you
I could trip and I want you to know
That every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions
I could trip and I want you to know
That every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions
I could only fight
For the longest while
But with the truth out, baby
I belong to you
I could trip and I want you to know
That every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions
I could trip and I want you to know
Every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions
The song "Strange Transmissions" by Norah Jones and The Peter Malick Group is a song about love, surrender, and finding one's place in the world. The song's lyrics are poetic, using metaphors to express deep emotions. The opening line, "I believe, you say, Don't think, we'll stay," suggests a sense of trust and faith in a love that is beyond rational thought. The lines "Drawn through the ebb, Lost in the flow," describe being swept away by the unpredictable currents of love.
The singer of the song admits, "Beneath my breath, I confess, My world, loved less." This line suggests that the singer has been holding back from love or has been living a life that is not fulfilling. The line "The devil held the proof, For me to know," implies that the singer has been holding onto secrets or fears that have prevented them from fully embracing love.
Ultimately, the singer surrenders to love, saying "But with the truth out, baby, I belong to you." The song ends with the repeated chorus, "I could only fight for the longest while, But with the truth out, baby, I belong to you, I could trip and I want you to know, Every time I think that I should go, I receive strange transmissions." This lyrical repetition suggests that the singer recognizes the transformative power of love and the strange and unpredictable ways it can manifest in our lives.
Line by Line Meaning
I believe, you say
I trust what you're telling me
Don't think, we'll stay
Don't worry about the future of our relationship
Drawn through the ebb
Being pulled along by my emotions
Lost in the flow
Feeling overwhelmed and out of control
Beneath my breath, I confess
Secretly admitting to myself
My world, loved less
Feeling like my life is lacking something important
The devil held the proof
Knowing deep down that something was wrong
For me to know
Even if I didn't want to acknowledge it
I could only fight
Trying to resist the truth
For the longest while
For a very long time
But with the truth out, baby
Now that I've faced the truth, my love for you is clear
I belong to you
I am yours
I stoop to find
Lowering myself to try and make things work
My place, entwined
Wanting to be with you, connected to you
I took it to the bottom
Pushing myself and our relationship to the limit
One more time
One last attempt to make things work
I could trip and I want you to know
I might mess up and leave, but I don't want to
That every time I think
Whenever I consider leaving
That I think I should go
When I feel like it's the right thing to do
I receive strange transmissions
I get mixed signals and confusing feelings

on The Nearness of You
The Nearness Of You - Camille Thurman -Lyrics
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams do come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
Saxophone Musical Interlude
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness, the nearness of you
