Galvanize
noredirect/Chemical Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With initiative to move, so why make it harder?
Don't hold back, if you think about it
So many people do, be cool man, look smarter
Don't hold back, and you shouldn't even care
'Bout the losers in the air and their crooked stares
Don't hold back, 'cause there's a party over here
So you might as well be here where the people care
Don't hold back, world (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
Galvanize
Come on, come on, come on with it
Don't hold back, if you think about it too much
You may stumble, trip up, fall on your face
Don't hold back, you think it's time you get up
Crunch time like a sit-up, pull monkey face
Don't hold back, put apprehension on the back burner
Let it sit, don't even get it lit
Don't hold back, get involved with the jam
Don't be a prick, hot chick be your fave
Don't hold back, world (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
Galvanize
Come on with that, come on with it
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, my finger is on the button
My finger is on the button
My finger is on the button (Push the button)
The time has come to
Galvanize
In "Galvanize," the Chemical Brothers urge their listener to be self-motivated and to not let fear or doubt hold them back from achieving their goals. The lyrics suggest that by taking initiative and being confident in oneself, one can engage with the world around them and immerse themselves in a positive community. The repeated refrain "Don't hold back, world" emphasizes the idea that the world itself is holding back, and the only way to catalyze progress is by taking action.
The lyrics encourage the audience to let go of their inhibitions, live in the moment and enjoy themselves. The line "Crunch time like a sit-up, pull monkey face" can be interpreted as a call to action, a reminder that time is of the essence and to seize the moment. The song's use of the phrase "Galvanize" can also be seen as a metaphor for shock therapy, representing the need for a collective jolt to awaken the world from its slumber.
"Galvanize" also has a strong political message, urging listeners to engage with the world around them and to act to make a positive change. The repeated refrain "My finger is on the button" can be interpreted as a call to political action, with the "button" representing the power to make systemic changes necessary for progress.
