Electricity – Arctic Monkeys

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.
