The Queenstons Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You take control, turn me on, and feel the hum
I'll grab the moon, hide it away and hang up the sun
How many hours have you lived since we first met
You haven't even seen the kind of power that I have yet

I'll make you blind
I'll make you blind to the cycles

of time
Electric surge, in my veins
You'll feel the shock every time I light up again
Your mind's a blank, my mind's a maze
You'll find the key, if you follow my gaze

The Queenston's song 9V is an imaginative and intense piece that speaks about the incredible power of electricity and how it can control and transform the lives of humans. The song starts with the artist describing how they are entranced and drawn in by someone else who takes control and turns them on, causing them to feel buzzing and humming inside. They then talk about their own power to control the stars and the moon, through electric manipulation.

The lyrics then delve deeper into the idea that the power of electricity is all-encompassing and that it can make someone blind to the cycles of time. This is further explored when the artist mentions the idea that they can light up again, filling the listener with a shock that keeps them coming back for more. Finally, the song ends by discussing the captivating and almost hypnotic nature of this power, and how it can open up a world of possibilities if you follow the artist's gaze.

Line by Line Meaning

You take control, turn me on, and feel the hum
You dominate me, ignite me, and experience the buzz of our connection

I'll grab the moon, hide it away and hang up the sun
I am capable of achieving the impossible, withholding what seems unattainable while providing what is necessary

How many hours have you lived since we first met
Ever since our initial encounter, how many hours have you spent experiencing life to the fullest?

You haven't even seen the kind of power that I have yet
You have not yet witnessed the extent of my strength and might

I'll make you blind
I will obscure your vision with my all-encompassing influence

I'll make you blind to the cycles
I will prevent you from recognizing and being affected by the natural patterns and fluctuations of life
