Electric Love
Solarstone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the ripples spread between us to infinity
I, I wish I could breathe
Shed my skin again, so we could be free
And you, I wish you could see
A beautiful morning sun for you and me
All the ripples spread between us to infinity
Electric love
A sweet, sweet love
Electric love
A sweet, sweet rush
Electric love
I, I wish I could swim
Up to the moon and back, a deep, deep swim
And you, I wish you could dream
Dream with an open heart, a sweet, sweet dream
If you throw a stone in water
All the ripples spread between us to infinity
Electric love
A sweet, sweet love
Electric love
A sweet, sweet rush.
The lyrics of Solarstone's "Electric Love" convey a deep longing for connectivity and freedom between two individuals.

The subsequent lines express a desire for release and purity, wishing to shed one's skin and swim to the moon, indicating a yearning for transcendence and escaping from the material world. A "sweet, sweet love" is evoked and emphasized throughout the song, conveying a sense of tenderness, passion, and excitement. The phrase "Electric love" is repeated throughout the track, underscoring the energy and liveliness of the emotions being expressed.
