Lyric discussion by Machtyn 

Cover art for This Must Be It lyrics by Röyksopp

First stanza: Concert goer arriving at the venue, in line talking and dancing with another fan of the opposite gender. Closing on a third person reference of self action.

Second stanza: The expectation of the person they hoped they find "love" with.

Third stanza: Reference to the time of day, waiting for evening to come when the concert really gets going. Anticipating the excitement of the concert. Faithless worship of anything.

Fourth stanza: Concert has finally started!

Fifth stanza: A self-reference using an analogy of two elements, sand and water, in the hand, with an existential realization of self with the partner finally found.

Sixth stanza: with partner finally found, the question is posed, "I've studied a long time, can you give me more? Can you exercise my knowledge, strengths, etc.?"

Chorus: With the partner having satisfied the voice, they've reached (dancing) bliss, and we hear the refrain of memory, self and partner realization, and current situation.
