On This Vibe
Through the Roots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A warm current rushes deep inside
These vibrations they don't lie
You know exactly how it feels, it's something that we all desire
It sets your soul on fire
Surrounded by a body of emotion
Life's like a massive ocean
We all wait in the waters run through days as they pass us by
You and I, we're on this vibe together
And we can ride, on this high forever, forever
We all gaze upon the ocean with wide eyes
Hopin' to find the answers in the sunrise
Oh what, is the world of love
We're all standing and waiting in the same line
So maybe in the meantime share the love, inside
We're all just simple people, connected by affection
Surviving on the sea is rough
You and I, we're on this vibe together
We can ride, on this high forever
You and I, (I, I, I, I) on this high (high, high, high) together
(Ride on this, we can ride on this vibe) x8
You and I, we're on this vibe together
We can ride, on this high forever
You and I, we're on this vibe together
We can ride, on this high forever
We can ride, on this vibe
"On This Vibe" by Through the Roots is a song about a feeling that cannot be put into words - a connection between two people that is felt deeply within. The lyrics paint a picture of being surrounded by an emotional body of water, where everyone is waiting for answers to life's questions. The chorus sings of the two people being on a vibe together, and how they can ride this high forever.
The first stanza speaks of feeling a warm current rushing inside, and vibrations that don't lie. It's something that is desired by everyone, as it sets the soul on fire. Life is compared to a massive ocean, and we are all waiting in the waters as days pass by. The second stanza talks about how we all gaze upon the ocean, hoping to find answers in the sunrise, and wondering what the world of love really is. It ends with the idea that we are all just simple people connected by affection, and that survival on the sea of life is rough.
The song's repeated theme of being on a vibe together, riding high forever, and handling life's rough seas through connection and love all come together to create a message of unity and positivity. The song serves as a reminder to cherish the connections we make with others, and to hold on to the feeling of being on a vibe together forever.

I'm feelin' something that I cant describe
There's a feeling deep inside me that I can't quite put into words
A warm current rushes deep inside
This feeling is a warm sensation that flows through me
These vibrations they don't lie
I know this feeling is real because it's so strong
You know exactly how it feels, it's something that we all desire
This feeling is something that everyone wants and can relate to
It sets your soul on fire
This feeling is so intense that it ignites my passion
Surrounded by a body of emotion
I'm enveloped by my feelings
Life's like a massive ocean
Life is vast and unpredictable, like the ocean
We all wait in the waters run through days as they pass us by
We're all just waiting for time to pass us by
You and I, we're on this vibe together
We're sharing this feeling and experience
And we can ride, on this high forever, forever
We can keep this feeling going for as long as we want
We all gaze upon the ocean with wide eyes
We all look at life with amazement and wonder
Hopin' to find the answers in the sunrise
We all hope to find some answers or clarity in the future
Oh what, is the world of love
Love is a complex and mysterious thing
We're all standing and waiting in the same line
We're all waiting for love and searching for answers
So maybe in the meantime share the love, inside
While we wait, let's spread love and kindness to others
We're all just simple people, connected by affection
We're all just human beings, seeking connection and love
Surviving on the sea is rough
Life can be difficult and challenging
We can ride, on this vibe
We can continue to experience and enjoy this feeling
