Electricity
Original Cast (Billy Elliot) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I haven't got the words
It's a feeling that you can't control
I suppose its like forgetting
Losing who you are
And at the same time
Something makes you whole
Its like that there's a music
And I'm listening, and I'm listening
And then I disappear
And then I feel a change
Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open
Impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying
Flying like a bird
Like electricity
Electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free, I'm free
It's a bit like being angry
It's a bit like being scared
Confused and all mixed up
And mad as hell
It's like when you've been crying
And you're empty, and you're full
I don't know what it is
It's hard to tell
Its like that there's some music
Playing in your ear
But the music
Is impossible
Impossible to hear
But then I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Something bursting me wide open
Impossible to hide
Then suddenly I'm flying
Flying like a bird
Like electricity
Electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free, I'm free
Electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free, I'm free
Oh oh whoa
I'm free
The lyrics of Original Cast (Billy Elliot)'s song Electricity express the experience of an overwhelming feeling of freedom and release that is difficult to put into words. The song begins with a sense of confusion and loss, where the singer admits that they cannot explain or articulate the feeling that is taking over them. However, they describe it as a sensation of being completed, of becoming whole. There is a musical quality to this feeling, which is more an intuitive experience than a rational one. As the song progresses, the singer tries to convey this sensation by comparing it to several emotions, such as anger, fear, and sadness, but without really finding a match. It is something that defies definition.
Then, there is a sudden shift in the song when the singer feels a change inside them. They describe it as a fire that bursts them wide open, impossible to hide. It is a transformative experience that immediately brings a sensation of release and liberation. The singer feels as if they are flying, free like a bird and that they are powered by electricity. This energy runs through them like a current, creating sparks, and filling them with a sense of aliveness. It is as if they are reborn as something entirely new, and nothing else seems to matter. The song ends with a triumphant declaration of freedom, where the singer repeats the phrase 'I'm free' over and over again.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't really explain it
I'm finding it hard to put into words
I haven't got the words
I don't have the vocabulary to describe this feeling
It's a feeling that you can't control
This sensation is beyond my ability to regulate
I suppose it's like forgetting
It's akin to losing all sense of self
Losing who you are
Disregarding one's individual personal identity
And at the same time
Simultaneously
Something makes you whole
But there is an aspect that makes me feel complete
It's like that there's a music
It's similar to hearing music
Playing in your ear
That seems to be coming from inside me
And I'm listening, and I'm listening
And I'm intensely focused on it
And then I disappear
Until it consumes my entire awareness
And then I feel a change
Then, I sense a transition
Like a fire deep inside
Similar to an inferno, deep within me
Something bursting me wide open
Something that bursts out of me uncontrollably
Impossible to hide
Something impossible to conceal
And suddenly I'm flying
And all of a sudden, I'm flying
Flying like a bird
Like a creature with wings
Like electricity
As if I'm charged with electrical currents
Electricity
Electricity
Sparks inside of me
Sparks that emanate from within me
And I'm free, I'm free
And I'm liberated, completely free
It's a bit like being angry
It's similar to experiencing anger
It's a bit like being scared
It's akin to feeling afraid
Confused and all mixed up
Disoriented and disorganized
And mad as hell
And incredibly angry
It's like when you've been crying
It's akin to having already shed tears
And you're empty, and you're full
Feeling as if there's nothing left, yet overflowing
I don't know what it is
I'm not entirely certain what this is
It's hard to tell
It's difficult to ascertain
But then I feel it move me
But then, I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Like a flame burning furiously inside me
Something bursting me wide open
Something rendering me completely open and revealing
Impossible to hide
Something impossible to keep secret
Then suddenly I'm flying
And then, suddenly, I'm soaring
Flying like a bird
Flying akin to a bird
Like electricity
Feels like the electrical force within me is propelling me upwards
Electricity
Electricity
Sparks inside of me
Sparks are produced within me
And I'm free, I'm free
Then I'm free, I'm completely free
Electricity
Electricity
Sparks inside of me
Sparks are produced within me
And I'm free, I'm free
And I'm free from all restraints
Oh oh whoa
An expression of intense excitement and exhilaration
I'm free
I'm free

That wasn't Barbara Goodson playing Rita Repulsive, she was just the voice of Rita Repulsive, the actress who actually play Rita Repulsive was Mekato Sota and she died in 2006 , also u forgot about Catherine Sutherland aka Kat, Karen Ashley aka Aisha , Steve Coredenas aka Rocky , Johnny Young Boesch aka Adam, the person who played Lord Zedd, the person who played Finster, the person who played Scorpina, the person who played Master Vile , Jason Narvy aka Skull , and Paul Schrier aka Bulk , u clearly need to redo your homework
