Philip Oakey And Georgio Moroder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
'Til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes its hard to recognize
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
Its just too late to stay
Too late to stay

Well always be together
However far it seems
(Love never ends)
Well always be together
Together in Electric Dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go Ill never find a better prize
(Find a better prize)
Though you're miles and miles away
I see you every day I don't have to try
I just close my eyes I close my eyes

Well always be together
However far it seems
(Love never ends)
Well always be together
Together in Electric Dreams

Well always be together
However far it seems
(Love never ends)
Well always be together
Together in Electric Dreams

Well always be together
However far it seems
(Love never ends)
Well always be together
Together in Electric Dreams

Overall Meaning

In Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder's famous track, Together in Electric Dreams, the lyrics speak of a connection made in a fleeting moment that lasts forever, and the idea of love coming as a surprise. The singer reflects on only knowing someone for a short time and never having seen their smile until it was time to say goodbye. This person, however, has had a profound impact on them and has taught them to be brave. The distance between them may be great, but the singer feels close to them nonetheless, seeing them every day, just by closing their eyes.


The song captures the essence of fleeting encounters and the hope that they can be preserved in memory. The lyrics suggest that even though people may move on and go their separate ways, a part of them will always be together in the memories formed in that moment. The words 'together in electric dreams' perhaps allude to a world where physical distance and time cannot separate two souls that have connected in such an ephemeral yet beautiful way.
