Telepathic
Rose Hill Drive Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Apocalipstick
Kiss is orgasmic
So good that when it comes
I really feel it

New age, just relax, you’re not manic
I know you’re telepathic
Voices in your head, you’re not tragic

I know you’re telepathic

So put it on
And use some tongue
Cos when you take it away
I really need it

New age, just relax, you’re not manic
I know you’re telepathic
Voices in your head, you’re not tragic
I know you’re telepathic

I know you’re telepathic

Overall Meaning

In Rose Hill Drive's song Telepathic, the lyrics speak about the powerful connection between two individuals, almost as if they have a telepathic connection. The first lines "Apocalipstick, kiss is orgasmic, so good that when it comes I really feel it" suggest that the intensity and passion between them is powerful and almost cataclysmic. The use of the term "apocalipstick" could be interpreted as a reference to the end of the world, hinting at the idea that their connection is so intense that it's as if nothing else exists except for them.

The second verse reinforces this idea of a powerful connection, with the mention of "voices in your head." This could be interpreted as them being on the same wavelength, able to communicate without speaking. The lines "New age, just relax, you're not manic, I know you're telepathic" further emphasize this connection, suggesting that they are in tune with each other on a deeper level. The repetition of "I know you're telepathic" further drives this point home.

The chorus is a call to action, urging the other person to "put it on and use some tongue." The use of sexual imagery could be interpreted as a metaphor for their connection, with the removal of the metaphorical "it" leading to a feeling of emptiness. Overall, the lyrics suggest a powerful and almost supernatural connection between two individuals.
