The Rhythm
PyInfamous and Sam.I.Am Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is young and we start crawling
To the closest club, it is rowdy
Dancing, yeah, bodies grinding
Music pumping, sweat pouring

Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm

The day is young and the rays are calling
We don't want to go, we are stalling
Singing, yeah, ears chiming
Rhythm thumping, we are soaring (We are soaring)

Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm

Let's break the beat down

Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm

Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm




Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm

Overall Meaning

These lyrics describe the experience of going out to a club or party and getting lost in the music and rhythm. The singer describes the night as young and energetic, with the club being rowdy and bodies grinding to the music. The lyrics suggest a sense of freedom and abandon as people seem to be slaves of the rhythm, unable to resist its power. The singer questions why they can't stay in this state forever, lost in the music and rhythm.


The second verse continues with the theme of being lost in the rhythm but in a different setting. The day is young and the sun is shining, yet they don't want to leave this magical world of music and dancing. The singer talks about hearing the rhythm, feeling it thump and soar, and being lifted up by it. Again, the singer expresses the desire to stay in this euphoric state forever, enslaved by the power of the rhythm.


Overall, the lyrics convey the idea that music and rhythm have a transformative power that can transport us to a different world. We become slaves to the rhythm, unable to resist its power and wanting to remain in its grip forever.
