Indestructible Lyrics

I'm going backwards through time at the speed of light
I'm yours, you're mine, two satellites
Not alone
No- we're not alone

A freeze-frame of your eye in the strobelight
Sweat dripping down from your brow- hold tight
Don't let go-
Don't you let me go

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But, I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore-
And I'm indestructible

Hands up in the air like we don't care
We're shooting deep into space
And the lasers split the dark
Cut right through the dark

It's just us- we ignore the crowd dancing
Fall to the floor
Beats in my heart
Put your hands on my heart

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
Ooh and I'm gonna love you like
Like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

I'm going backwards through time at the speed of light
I'm yours, you're mine, two satellites
Not alone
No- we're not alone

A freeze-frame of your eye in the strobelight
Sweat dripping down from your brow- hold tight 
Don't let go-
Don't you let me go

Hands up in the air like we don't care
We're shooting deep into space
And the lasers split the dark
Cut right through the dark

It's just us- we ignore the crowd dancing
Fall to the floor
Beats in my heart
Put your hands on my heart

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.

Pretty easy song to interpret. The speaker is rather taken by this other person and they're not going to allow themselves to taint this relationship by the experience(s) of their past. They didn't make the best choices, but it doesn't matter now.

I don't think this is just about not tainting a new relationship with past experiences. There is an element of reviewing a relationship that is dying or is dead. At the beginning when she talks about "going backwards in time...I'm yours, you're mine...not alone" and the "freeze frame" both are reflections on the old relationship that started the same way, but it won't be allowed to shadow the new possibilities. "Don't let go Don't you let me go" is the heartbreak of the old relationship ending. The first verses are the past experience warning, the chorus is like the breath before you dive in and the second verse is the 'spark' of the new beginning.
