Electricity
Spacelaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m the bolt that’s coming straight down from the clouds.
Ground me, baby, light the fuse and see what comes around.
Don’t let go of the things you’re holding to.
That might be your last mistake, the voltage’s coming through.

I’m falling down with you next to me, with you next to me.
I’m wasting light; electricity, electricity.
I’m falling down with you next to me, with you next to me.
I’m wasting light; electricity, electricity.

I’m the thunder that gets you off the bed.
Who would you rather be, don’t tell me you’re afraid.
Makes me wonder though, which one would you choose.
Darling, when I see your face I know I did not lose.

Bear with me, but don’t pull me back;
Don’t lose your head, just stay on track;
Infinite realities, clashing down calamities.
Don’t you dare to speak a word, I warned you ‘bout the risk you took.
What’s up there in the sky? Are you dreaming, are you high?

I’m falling down with you next to me, with you next to me.
I’m wasting light; electricity, electricity.
I’m falling down with you next to me, with you next to me.
I’m wasting light; electricity, electricity.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-da-da-da.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-da-da-da.




Ta-ta-ta-ta-da-da-da.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-da-da-da.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Spacelaw's "Electricity" speak of a powerful force that is both thrilling and dangerous. The first two lines set the stage by describing the singer as a bolt of lightning coming down from the clouds. This image suggests both power and unpredictability, and sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer then implores the listener to ground him or her, to "light the fuse," and see what happens next. This seems like a risk, but the singer encourages the listener not to let go of the things that are important to them, because the voltage is coming through.


The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the singer is "falling down" with someone next to him or her, and that they are "wasting light; electricity." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for a relationship that is intense and exciting but also destructive, like a bolt of lightning. The second verse of the song continues this theme by describing the singer as "thunder" that gets people out of bed. The singer wonders which one the listener would choose: the intense excitement of the moment, or the fear of the unknown. Despite this, the singer is certain that when he or she sees the listener's face, he or she knows that everything is worth it.


Overall, the song seems to be about the pull of danger and excitement, and the way that people are drawn to it even when they know it could be dangerous. The repeated image of "electricity" suggests that this force is both powerful and unpredictable, and that those who engage with it do so at their own risk.
