Darlin’ tell me something I don’t know
Be my baby, be my GTO
Call me something no one else calls me
I forget how I want it
That electricity
My heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn’t see you sneak in but I’m glad you stopped
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity
Love like locked horns
Love like dominos
Be my midnight
Be my ebb and flow
I forget how I want it
How it crept up on me
It takes over
Electricity
And my heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn’t see you sneak in but I’m glad you stopped
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity
Separated
There I face it
Love like thunder
Love like falling snow
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity
Sparks of Intimacy: Exploring “Electricity” by Arctic Monkeys
“Electricity” by Arctic Monkeys delves into the thrill and vulnerability of new love, using vivid imagery and clever metaphors to capture that magnetic pull between two people. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship charged with anticipation and surprise, as the narrator invites their partner to reveal something truly unique—something that no one else knows or shares. The repeated references to “electricity” highlight the irresistible, almost physical sensation of connection, while phrases like “love like thunder” and “love like falling snow” evoke the unpredictable and powerful nature of emotion. Throughout the song, there’s a sense of longing and openness, as the narrator’s heart remains “unlocked,” ready for the unexpected jolts of intimacy that only true connection can bring.
