Description
My heart is pounding like it's been plugged into electricity. Your whole body moves in time - not because you have to, but because it's impossible not to. The world has gone a little crazy: flashes, clicks, faceless photos, non-stop music. Here, sound is flesh, and rhythm is the nervous system. It feels like someone unzipped my skin and let the beat flow through my veins. In this cacophony, there is neither fear nor meaning - just a continuous "boom-bang," a perpetual motion machine made of heartbeats and flashes of light. Everything flashes, curls, is reborn again - and every moment is like a little Big Bang. It's just a dance between life and rebooting, where the only compass is the beat within your chest.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Could a body close the mind out
Stitch a seam across the eye?
If you can be good, you'll live forever
If you're bad, you'll die when you die
Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body, take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
{Bang, bang}
Oh, the body swayed to music
Oh, the lightning glance
I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me
Ask for half a chance
Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body
And lend to my ear a clear
And a deafening sound
Unzip my heart
And if I need a rhythm
It'll be to my heart I listen
If it don't put me too far wrong
And if I, and if I
And if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
If it don't put me too far wrong
Everybody smile please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography
Taking a picture of you
(To my heart)
Taking a picture of,
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture
Ramalama bang bang
Flash, bang, big bang
Bing bong, ding dong
Dum dum d-dum dum
With a hammer, bang bang
Flash, bang, press gang
Bing bong, ding dong
Dum dum d-dum dum
With a st-stammer, bang bang
Crash bang, big bang
Boing boing, boing doing
Dum dum d-dum dum
With a st-stammer, the bang bang
(With a st-stammer)
With a st-stammer
(Crash bang, the bing bang)
Crash bang, big bang
(Boing boing, boing doing)
Bing bang, crash bang
(Dum dum d-dum dum)
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
Need a rhythm
(And if I, and if I)
Need a rhythm
(And if I, and if I)
Need a rhythm
(And if I, and if I)
Need a rhythm
(And if I, and if I)
Need a rhythm
(And if I, and if I)
Need a rhythm
(And if I, and if I)
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
