Hello
Can you hear me?
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
Can you hear me?
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
If you hear me
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello

Now put your hands in the air

Hello
If you hear me
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
The lyrics to Tiesto ft. Calvin Harris's song Century are quite simple yet powerful. The repetition of the word "hello" emphasizes the desire for connection and communication. The lyrics suggest a longing for acknowledgement and recognition, and the call to put your hands in the air for a century might symbolize a desire for a lasting celebration or moment of unity. The repetition of the phrase "for a century" further emphasizes the longevity of this desired moment, and perhaps suggests a hope for lasting change or impact.
While the simple lyrics of the song may not provide much depth or complexity, they do reflect on some universal human desires for connection, celebration, and positive change. The driving beat of the song, combined with the repetitive lyrics, create a sense of energy and excitement that make it a popular dance track.
