Sub Focus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't move
What is that in the distance
Well it's the gateway through
The night's so young
I feel numb
If you hear them, hear them too
And if you see them, see them too
They won't be far, too far from you
You get the sickness from the heat wave
The sickness of the afraid
I get the shakies from the party, oh
And I can't find you
My conscience found its new name
It tries and gets me in a new way
I'm like a voice in the city
I know I won't find you this time
Now I can hear the noise from the city
Is there no one here
What is that in the subtext
Will your voice be clear
As time goes by
You'll might find
If you hear them, hear them too
I won't be far, too far from you
And if you see them, see them too
They won't be far, too far from you
You get the sickness from the heat wave
The sickness of the afraid
I get the shakies from the party, oh
And I can't find you
My conscience found its new name
It tries and gets me in a new way
I'm like a voice in the city
I know I won't find you this time
The night's so young
I feel numb
If you hear them, hear them too
I won't be far, too far from you
And if you see them, see them too
They won't be far, too far from you
The lyrics of Sub Focus's song "Splash" discuss themes of isolation and disconnection in a crowded city. The song begins with the singer expressing a feeling of being paralyzed by the noise of the city and unable to move. They then see a "gateway" in the distance, which represents a potential escape or connection. However, the singer ultimately admits that they "know [they] won't find you this time," suggesting that they have tried and failed to find a sense of belonging in the city.
As the song progresses, the lyrics describe a sense of chaos and anxiety at a party, juxtaposed with the longing for connection. The singer feels "the sickness of the afraid" from the heat wave and the "shakies" of the party, further emphasizing their discomfort in this setting. The repetition of the phrases "If you hear them, hear them too" and "If you see them, see them too" creates a sense of solidarity and understanding between the singer and the listener, as both are experiencing this disconnection.
In the end, the song leaves the listener with a sense of uncertainty and longing. Despite the attempts to find connection, the singer ultimately remains isolated and disconnected from those around them.

This is a special tune, sort of melancholic, yet also happy, uplifting and powerful. Masterpiece.

Immense! Sounds like an awesome festival tune!

I don't even know how to describe this song...but it's quite awesome. Very unique, you won't hear anything like this from any other song. And if you do, it just won't have the same level of epicness.
