Indestructible
Robyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going backwards through time at the speed of light
I'm yours, you're mine, two satellites
Not alone
No, we're not alone

A freeze-frame of your eye in the strobe light
Sweat dripping down from your brow, hold tight
Don't let go
Don't you let me go

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

Hands up in the air like we don't care
We're shooting deep into space
And the lasers split the dark
Cut right through the dark

It's just us, we ignore the crowd dancing
Fall to the floor
Beats in my heart
Put your hands on my heart

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore

Ooh and I'm gonna love you like
Like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore

Ooh and I'm gonna love you like
Like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over




This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Robyn's song Indestructible are a declaration of love and commitment through the metaphors of space and energy. The first verse describes the couple as two satellites orbiting and connected to each other, moving swiftly through time. The second verse intensifies the description, freezing a moment in time with flashing lights and sweat, as the two individuals resist separation. The chorus announces the singer's determination to love fearlessly, after experiences of letting go of the good ones and holding onto the bad ones. The singer declares that her love is indestructible, magnetic, and all-encompassing.


The third verse focuses on the couple's experience of dancing with their hands up in the air, transcending the crowd and space, and being united with each other's heartbeats. The chorus is repeated twice more, confirming the singer's boldness in loving without fear, being consistent in expressing her love, and being irresistibly drawn to it, with the term "hardcore" emphasizing how intense and powerful the love is.


The song, therefore, can be seen as a statement of defiance, resilience, and hope in love, defying past pain, and overcoming distance and obstacles. Furthermore, it celebrates the concept of belonging, shared experiences, and deep connection that persists beyond time and space.
