Tectonic
Tirzah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Attract the meeting of our lips
Pursued as the rhythm, magnetize our hips
Techno to tectonic plates
With no gin
When you touch me, I'm out my body
Instinct takes place
Instinct
Instinct takes place
Instinct
When you touch me, I'm out my body
Instinct takes place
Instinct
When you touch me, I'm out my body
Instinct takes place
Instinct takes place
(Touch tips, our lips)
You know I'm yours and you're mine
As soon as you meet my face
Close touch tips where our motions attract
The meeting of our lips
Pursued as the rhythm, magnetized our hips
Techno to tectonic plates
With no gin
When you touch me, I'm out my body
Instinct takes place
You know I'm yours and you're mine
As soon as you meet my face
As soon as you meet my face
As soon as you meet my face
As soon as you meet my face
As soon as you meet my face
The song "Tectonic" by Tirzah is about the intense physical attraction and connection between two people. The lyrics suggest that when these two individuals touch, their bodies become one and their physical movements and rhythms become synchronized. The reference to "techno to tectonic plates" suggests that this connection is on a deep, primordial level, beyond just a surface-level attraction.
The repeated phrase "When you touch me, I'm out my body" emphasizes the overpowering nature of their connection, as if they are completely consumed by each other. The lyrics also suggest a sense of inevitability or fate, with the line "You know I'm yours and you're mine as soon as you meet my face," implying that this connection was always meant to be.
Throughout the song, there is an emphasis on instinct and the way that physical touch can bypass the mind and go straight to the body. The use of repetition in the lyrics and the minimal, repetitive beat of the music also contribute to the sense that this connection is all-consuming and almost trance-like.
Overall, "Tectonic" is a song that explores the intense physical connection between two people and the way that physical touch can create a sense of total symbiosis.

Close, touch tips where our emotions
Attract the meeting of our lips
Pursued as a rhythm
Magnetise our hips
Techno to tectonic plates (Shift, shift, shift, shift)
With no chin (or toe)
When you touch me, I'm out my body (Out my sense)
Instinct takes place, instinct (Instinct)
When you touch me, I'm out my body (Yeah, I'm out)
Instinct takes place, (instinct) instinct (Tension)
When you touch me, I'm out my body (Yeah, I'm out)
Instinct takes place, (instinct) instinct (Tension)
When you touch me, I'm out my body (Feel it, feel it)
Instinct takes place
Instinct takes place
Touch tips, tips, tips, tips, tips
While it drips, drips, drips, drips, drips
You know I'm yours
And you're mine
As soon as you meet my face (You see me?)
Close, touch tips where our emotions attract (I see you, I see you)
The meeting of our lips
Pursued as a rhythm
Magnetised our hips
Techno to tectonic plates (The sound, the sounds)
With no chin
When you touch me, I'm out my body
Instinct takes place
You know I'm yours, and you're mine
As soon as you meet my face (drip, drip, drip)
As soon as you meet my face
As soon as you meet my face (When I'm with you)
As soon as you meet my face (When I'm with you)
As soon as you meet my face
As soon as, as soon as, as soon as you
As soon as, as soon as, as soon as you

@TheSlowMusicMovement
Sounds like this is going to be a worthy follow up to one of the best debuts of recent times. Nice to see an artist holding tight and just releasing killers rather than attention seeking fillers. October 1st in the diary.
