Thinking of You
Tesla Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A heavy breathing I can hear
When midnight brings the smell of fear
A weeping soul is moving fast
It's waiting for the world collapse

And I'm falling
I'm falling in love with the feet
As I hear you run away
I'll follow
I'll follow your dance in the street
Until I find what you are looking for

My life can't be true
If I'm passing through
Only thing I do
Thinking of you

I'm flying in the light of moon
That's why I'm made of, I assume
I must regret I wish I could
Leave in your body exit wound

And I'm falling
I'm falling in love with the feet
As I hear you run away
I'll follow
I'll follow your dance in the street
Until I find what you are looking for

My life can't be true
If I'm passing through
Only thing I do
Thinking of you

Every time I'm going through
Am I hurting you?




Every time I'm going through
Baby, it's not true

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tesla Boy's song "Thinking of You" are mysterious and enigmatic, full of haunting imagery that evokes a sense of longing and desire. The song is about a restless, yearning soul who is desperate to find and connect with another person, even as they run away from him. The singer is so enamored with this person that he is willing to follow them anywhere, even if it means chasing them through the streets in the dead of night.


The heavy breathing and smell of fear that the singer describes might suggest that he is stalking this person, but the weeping soul that is moving fast hints at a deeper, more empathetic connection. It's as if the singer senses the other person's pain and wants to reach out and offer comfort, even if they are not yet ready to accept it. The lines "My life can't be true / If I'm passing through / Only thing I do / Thinking of you" sum up this longing perfectly, as the singer grapples with the idea that he cannot move forward in his life without the other person by his side.


The repeated imagery of falling in love with the other person's feet and following their dance in the street adds to the dreamlike quality of the song, as if the singer is caught in a trance-like state that he cannot break free from. It's a powerful and moving portrayal of the depths of desire and yearning that can consume us when we are in love.

@Jtronique

Before I learned the lyrics, I heard:

"I'm flying in the light of moon
That's why I'm male and I pursue,
I must regret I wish I could
Feel your body, as you move."

I think I felt that I heard these lyrics, and he sings it because he is genuinely concerned not to be hurting her and wants to know how she feels.
It's at least nice to think of a lover wondering how we "feel", in a genuine compassion sense, and not just about "love."

So, thank you for posting the lyrics.
