Scissor Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all mine
Do we dream about each other at the same time?
All night
This might be the only way to talk to you
That's right
It's your ears with the sound that I walk into
Your mind
Is it the party that ain't over 'til it's through?
Is it the wiring that's suddenly a blown fuse?
Is it a chemical that makes this moment true?
Is it the music that connects me to you? To you, ooh
There's a way to get together when I'm gone away
One day
It's a place that all that matters are the notes you play
I say
Simple pleasures when I'm listening, it gets me by
Won't lie
When you're singing I'll be with you 'til the exit time
We shine
Is it the party that ain't over 'til it's through?
Is it the wiring that's suddenly a blown fuse?
Is it a chemical that makes this moment true?
Is it the music that connects me to you? To you, ooh
Here I was awaiting
Praying for the muse
I'm finally awake
And you have left me less confused
And maybe now
You will hear me now
I'm just in love
In love with your sound
(This business is making my food taste like chickenpox)
(Your foods ain't the only thing burning, honey
We 'bout to set this dump on fire)
Is it the party that ain't over 'til it's through?
Is it the wiring that's suddenly a blown fuse?
Is it a chemical that makes this moment true?
Is it the music that connects me to you? To you, ooh
Your song it gets me by, by, by
When you're singing I'll be with you 'til the exit line
Your song it gets me by
When you're singing I'll be with you 'til the exit line
The song "Paul McCartney" by Scissor Sisters is a tribute to the Beatles imitating the sound and style of their music, particularly in the chorus where the lyrics go, "Is it the music that connects me to you? To you, ooh." The first verse begins with a sense of urgency and longing for connection, which continues throughout the song. The lyrics also touch on the idea of being together through the power of music, and the need to hear each other's sound.
The chorus repeats the same four questions, each with its answer, exploring various reasons why music can bring people together. The final verse speaks about the feeling of awaiting inspiration and finally finding it through music, then connecting with others through their sound. The song concludes with a humorous exchange between the band members, making light of the recording industry and the enjoyment of playing music.
Overall, "Paul McCartney" is a love song to the Beatles and their influence on the band, as well as a celebration of the power of music to connect people, even across distance and time.
