Snap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rhythym is a dancer,
it's a soul's companion,
you can feel it everywhere
Lift your hands and voices
free your mind and join us
you can feel it in the air
Ooh, it's a passion
Ooh, you can feel it in the air
Ooh, it's a passion
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
back to top of chorus
A far away light in the futuristic place we might be,
It's a tiny world just big enough to support the kingdom of one
knowledgeable,
throw away the loneliness and head back down,
I'm going too fast, I'm going too fast
back to top of chorus
I plunge right on through the office door,
and into the arms of the bottomless negro of love,
suddenly I can't remember,
how to stop, or turn around,
Do I have to get behind myself,
Do I have to turn around before I can point,
I flip 'til I can breathe
back to top of chorus
The opening line "Rhythm is a dancer, it's a soul's companion" suggests that rhythm is not just a musical construct, but an integral part of the human experience. The idea that rhythm is a "soul's companion" implies its importance to one's emotional and spiritual well-being. The chorus then encourages listeners to join in this experience by lifting their hands, freeing their minds, and feeling the rhythm everywhere. The repetition of "ooh, it's a passion" reinforces this idea that the experience of rhythm is not just a physical sensation, but an emotional one as well.
The second verse creates a vivid image of a futuristic world where the singer is searching for connection and knowledge. The idea that this world is "just big enough to support the kingdom of one knowledgeable" suggests a world where individualism is celebrated and knowledge is valued above all else. The idea of "throwing away loneliness" seems to suggest that the singer is looking for companionship and human connection. The line "I'm going too fast, I'm going too fast" could be interpreted as the singer being overwhelmed by the speed of life or the intensity of the experience.
The final verse uses surreal, dreamlike imagery to convey the idea of losing oneself in the rhythmic experience. The phrase "bottomless negro of love" is a metaphor for the all-consuming nature of the experience. The confusion and disorientation expressed in the lines "suddenly I can't remember how to stop, or turn around. Do I have to get behind myself, do I have to turn around before I can point" suggest a loss of control or agency, perhaps suggesting that the experience of rhythm is so powerful it is disruptive.
