They create upbeat music with gloomy undertones fused with husky, grated vocals. The mixture leads to music that is "love at first listen", perfect for those drab Sundays where you sit and look out the window and watch the world go by slowly. They released I'm Happy Now EP in 2008, and in April 2010 their self-titled album Palpitation was released on Luxury Records. Their latest album, I'm Absent, You're Faraway was released in June 2011.

In Five Years
Palpitation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many songs I sang you a while back
But you were only talking
In five years I′m waiting for a time to pass
But you will never stop looking, looking behind
Ohhh
How many lies I told you a while back
But you were only talking
In five years I'm waiting for a time to pass
But you will never stop looking, looking behind
Ohhh
Don′t leave me Ohhh
The lyrics to Palpitation's song In Five Years speak about a relationship that was plagued by lies and misunderstandings. The singer talks about how they sang songs to their partner, but the partner was not really listening, instead they were too consumed with their own thoughts and concerns. The singer then mentions waiting for five years for time to pass, but the partner never stops looking behind, indicating that they are unable to let go of the past and move on. The lyrics also express the singer's desire for their partner not to leave them.
The lyrics evoke feelings of frustration, longing and desperation, as the singer grapples with the idea that their partner cannot seem to let go of the past. The repetition of the word 'ohhh' throughout the song adds to the emotional weight of the lyrics, and creates a sense of melancholy and vulnerability.
Overall, the song is a powerful reminder of how difficult it can be to create and maintain meaningful relationships amidst the turbulence of our own emotions and experiences.

Expressing an emotional feeling or sensation
How many songs I sang you a while back
I have sung many songs for you in the past
But you were only talking
But you were not listening to me
In five years I'm waiting for a time to pass
I'm waiting for five years to see how things change
But you will never stop looking, looking behind
But you will always be focused on the past
How many lies I told you a while back
I have told you many lies in the past
Don't leave me Ohhh
Please do not leave me
