Research: Chosen Song Lyrics Analysis - FENECH-SOLER//MAGNETIC





We're standing on a fault line
Caught in-between two minds
Exhale this city filling up our lungs
Let the light dust settle


This person is describing how he is trapped between a decision which is making his relationship with somebody 'faulty' also the line 'exhale this city filling up our lungs' gives me the image that he is looking at some city landscape, exhaling the view he's seeing.

When we're through with this place
The past will be erased
Counting down the hours
Synchronize 'til we take control


The person speaking I believe is now speaking to somebody directly, the line 'The past will be erased, Counting down the hours' makes me believe the person is talking directly to a girl and he is trying to pusuade her to forgot something,

It's a feeling
In the great unknown we can burn it out
Cause I needed
To show you
There's a world outside that we've never seen
Can you feel it too?
Can you feel it too?
In a world where nothing feels real
Can you feel me too?
Woah woah

The previous lines about how there is a city mentioned and how the person is counting down the hours sort of makes sense after reading the chorus, he basically wants to take this girl somewhere breathtaking and wants her to understand the 'meaning of life'.

I'm pulling hours out from under our armor
Follow the river down to the sea
Rising up gonna come back stronger
We keep on running through these empty streets


The person who i can now distinguish as a man, is describing again what he is seeing, however the river may be a metaphor for something else, I don't really know what but a guess could be that the river could be symbolising his emotions being let free into the 'sea'.

It's a feeling
In the great unknown we can burn it out
Cause I needed
To show you
There's a world outside that we've never seen
Can you feel it too?
In a world where nothing feels real
Can you feel me too?
Woah woah


(as previous)

When the night's magnetic, we'll run
When the night's magnetic, they'll come
When the night's magnetic, we'll run
When the night's magnetic, they'll run
When the night's magnetic, they'll run
When the night's magnetic, we'll run


The use of repetition and the use of the words 'run' repeated makes me think of the man and women running away, this is also backed up by the way it says 'we'll run' and they'll come' meaning people might be looking for them.

Can you feel it too?
Can you feel it too?
In a world where nothing feels real
Can you feel me too?
Woah woah


Overall i believe that the lyrics symbolise a relationship gone wrong between the narrator (man) and a girl, the man wants to show the girl what she's missing out on by taking her to see breathtaking views and just in general taking in 'life', something goes wrong in the end as by the second from last paragraph the use of repetition suggest that the pair are running away and running away from someone, the last paragraph sums up their journey and how the world 'doesn't look real anymore' suggesting there relationship could be over.

  1. on the line "I'm pulling hours out from under our armor", I think its a metaphor for him catching the girls attention, so she's started taking down defenses, like she's not angry or afraid of him anymore or something to that effect.
