Electricty Lyrics

i'm running here
every focus is splintered
every attempt he can afford
rendered pointless and it's streaming down
senses together they move cleaner than transit will allow
and sometimes i wanna move cleaner than transit will allow to be
electricity (x4)
now inbetween
leaving and arriving
i can try to digest this sequence of events
again i draw it out
and again i get delayed reaction
i get splinters
i watch the people and the cars
it's slow motion
they're beautiful like breaking glass
not yet broken
my motion is silver on the point
of a moment - splinter - moment
my vision, the colour of
electricity (x4)
moment splinter moment
splinter into colour
and let me be
electricity (x4)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

the notion of eletricity is about wanting to speed up your current life. i'm not referring to wanting to top yourself or anything but instead wishing things would move a bit faster than they were currently moving. this has a great clip.

i think it's interesting that there are several "green" references in the song. The whole concept of wanting to "move cleaner than transit will allow" and in contrast the second verse is "I watch the people and the cars, it's slow motion they're beautiful like breaking glass, not yet broken." I'm not saying this was their intention, but it could be seen as an "environmentally friendly" song
