What is “Frequency” about?
"Frequency" describes connection as a radio signal: the narrator scans through the static until she catches someone's wavelength, and from then on every other station sounds like toys. The lyrics mix old and new tech, from being dialed up at midnight to not needing Wi-Fi "when I got your signal," to picture two people who understand each other without a word. Track fourteen on GLITCH, it follows "Heartbeat" with another love that is felt before it is spoken.
Frequency lyrics
(Bzzt... tuning in...)
Frequency, frequency
Something in the static pulling me to you
Every signal crossing, breaking through the blue
Heart is like a radio, scanning for your sound
Once I caught your wavelength, baby, I was found
Can you feel it? (Feel it)
The way we synchronize
Every beat is (Beat is)
A spark that multiplies
We're on the same frequency
Your heart is calling me
Electric in the air tonight
We're on the same frequency
No need to say a thing
I feel you, feel you, feel you right
Fre-fre-frequency
Fre-fre-frequency
Dial me up at midnight, whisper through the noise
Every other channel, baby, sounds like toys
You're my favorite station, never changing lanes
Running through my body like a digital rain
Can you feel it? (Feel it)
The way our signals align
Every pulse is (Pulse is)
Proof that you are mine
We're on the same frequency
Your heart is calling me
Electric in the air tonight
We're on the same frequency
No need to say a thing
I feel you, feel you, feel you right
Fre-fre-frequency
Fre-fre-frequency
Turn it up, turn it up, don't lose the connection
Every wave, every hum, pulling our direction
I don't need Wi-Fi when I got your signal
You and me, frequency, it's almost criminal
We're on the same frequency
Your heart is calling me
Lighting up the dark tonight
We're on the same frequency
No static, crystal clear
I feel you, feel you, feel you right
Fre-fre-frequency
(Frequency...)
(Still tuned in...)
