The Chemical Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how does it feel like to shine on everyone,
How does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony
How does it feel like to sail in on the breeze,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
And how does it feel like to make it happening,
And how does it feel like to breath with everything,
And how does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony
And how does it feel like to to be a Christian being
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony
The lyrics of The Chemical Brothers' Let Forever Be invite listeners to ponder on the feeling of being fully alive and present in the moment. The first few lines of the song ask how it feels like to wake up in the sun and shine on everyone, evocative of a feeling of joy and freedom. The repetition of the question "how does it feel like to let forever be" emphasizes the importance of embracing the present moment and letting go of any concerns about the future or the past. The line "sitting in the gutter screaming symphony" can be read as a metaphor for finding beauty in unexpected places, as well as the idea that even in difficult circumstances, it's possible to create something meaningful.
The second verse of the song continues to explore the themes of being fully present and alive. The imagery of sailing in on the breeze suggests a feeling of effortless flow and momentum, while the repetition of the phrase "sitting in the gutter screaming symphony" underscores the idea that even in chaos and noise, there is the potential for creativity and beauty. The lines "how does it feel like to make it happening" and "how does it feel like to breath with everything" both suggest a sense of agency and empowerment, asking listeners to consider how it feels to be fully engaged in the world around them.

WHAT THE... How in the world was this transition so smoothly made? 🤯
@sweetandtastyTV
I posted my comment too soon. This whole music video is blowing my mind. Must've taken a ton of planning and prepping to film this!
@j.b.aw.6968
Effort
@chaw1032
The man who made this video was the only human being I've ever seen adequately portray what it is like to dream on film. If you haven't watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I highly recommend doing so.
@ssss-df5qz

@kyles5513
In my opinion, this is the greatest music video ever made. Plus the song goes so well with it, it's basically the definition of perfect.
@NerdilyDone
I don't know about greatest ever, but arguably the best of Michel Gondry's work.
