The Alchemy Between Us
Young Galaxy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay down your head
To quiet all the sadness
To feel what's possible instead
Your Grace
I think I found the perfect way
To explain it
And move
Within the alchemy
Between us
Can alchemy sustain us
While the world, it falls apart?
This instinct keeps us searching
A cure for broken hearts
Your Grace
I think I found the perfect way
To explain it
Close your eyes
And move
Within the alchemy
Between us
In "The Alchemy Between Us" by Young Galaxy, the lyrics talk about seeking inner peace amidst the chaos of the city. The song seems to suggest that the simple act of closing one's eyes and letting go of the worries and sadness can be transformative. The lines "To quiet all the sadness, To feel what's possible instead," convey the idea that sometimes it is necessary to turn inward and focus on what we can control, especially when the world seems to be falling apart.
The chorus, "Can alchemy sustain us, while the world it falls apart? This instinct keeps us searching, a cure for broken hearts," further emphasizes the theme of finding a way to survive through the most difficult times. The word "alchemy" refers to the ancient practice of transforming base metals into gold, a metaphor for the transformative power of love or human connection in a chaotic world.
Overall, the song's lyrics suggest that the alchemy of love and human connection can help us cope with the hardships of life. The song encourages us to focus on our innermost selves and find strength, even when everything around us seems to be falling apart.

Found this song years ago, it somehow eventually fell out of my head and now I've rediscovered it. What an absolutely stunning tune. Everything about it. Damn.
