Zoom
Velasquez Regine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zoom just one look
And then my heart went boom
Suddenly and we were on the moon
Flying high in the neon sky, oh

Bang just one touch
And all the church bells rang
Heaven called and all the angels sang
Sunrise shine in the midnight sky, oh

Zoom you chase the day away
High noon the moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole wide world went zoom

(I passed a rainbow as we went flying by
Faster and faster we were higher than high
For once in my lifetime I was finally free
And you came back to me)

Oh, zoom you chase the day away
High noon the moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole wide world went zoom

Moonbeams dancing in the afternoon
Shadows blowing as the roses bloom
Looking down on a wonderland, oh

Smack just one kiss
And I was outta whack
All at once there was no turning back
Oh so far above the brightest star, oh

Oh, zoom you chase the day away




High noon the moon
And stars came out to play

Overall Meaning

In this song, Regine Velasquez sings about being completely enamored with someone who has swept her off her feet. The opening lines talk about how one single look from this person caused her heart to "boom" and they were suddenly on the moon, flying high in the neon sky. The next verse continues with this same idea of the person being a catalyst for an out-of-this-world experience, with one touch causing church bells to ring and heaven to call with angels singing. The chorus repeats the idea that this person, whom she describes as "you," takes her away and chases the day away. They go on fantastical flights to the moon and stars, and her whole wide world goes "zoom."


The song continues with vivid imagery of moonbeams dancing, roses blooming, and looking down on a wonderland. Then came the "smack of one kiss," which caused her to be "outta whack." From this moment on, there was "no turning back." She felt like she was far above the brightest star, and everything around her felt magical. The final chorus repeats the idea of "zoom" taking away her day and bringing her to the moon and the stars.


Overall, the lyrics use fantastical imagery to depict the feeling of being swept off one's feet by someone they are deeply attracted to. The idea of leaving all troubles behind and feeling free with this person is presented through the idea of flyling away into the sky. The lyrics make an analogy of this relationship as a stimulant to a speeding car, and everything around becomes a blur
