Rapture
Sophie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tete to tete
Dancing very slow
... and dreamy
Almost coming from
People hypnotized
And they′re stepping lightly
And they're smiling
Rapture

Such a...
Time is going nowhere
I knew...
Face to face

And this thing has got me
Looking for...
Rapture

Hey D.J... everybody died
The D.J. ′s spinnin', ooh my my
Flash is fast, Flash is cool

You get out and get in your car
You drive real far
You drive all night

Kiss your wife, kiss your life
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
Down, down, lay it on the ground
Then out comes that man from Mars
Eat your head, eat your bed
Eat your wife, kiss the life
I said man from Mars
Yeah what, man from Mars

Tete to tete
Dancing very slow
... and dreamy
Almost coming from

And they're stepping lightly




And they′re smiling
Rapture

Overall Meaning

The song 'Rapture' by Sophie is a dreamy and hypnotic track that seems to be about losing oneself in the moment while dancing. The phrase "tete-a-tete" suggests a conversation between two people, possibly referring to the dance partners. The slow tempo and dreamy quality of the music contribute to the sense of being lost in the moment, as though the dancers are in a trance. The word "rapture" further emphasizes the euphoric feeling of the experience.


The lyrics take a slightly darker turn in the second half of the song, with references to a "man from Mars" and eating heads and beds. This shift in tone is jarring and unexpected, but it may be interpreted as a commentary on the fleeting nature of pleasure and the fragility of our existence. The lines "kiss your wife, kiss your life" and "bye bye baby, bye bye" suggest a goodbye to the people and things that make life worth living.
