Tied To You

The Knocks' song 'Tied To You' delves into the overwhelming and almost intoxicating experience of being deeply in love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how love can transform one's reality, making broken dreams mend and opening up new dimensions. The phrase 'insanity can't get enough' suggests that this love is so consuming that it borders on madness, yet it's a madness the singer welcomes wholeheartedly.

The recurring line 'I lose my mind, every time, every time, my tongue gets tied to you' captures the essence of being so enamored with someone that it becomes difficult to articulate feelings. This metaphor of a 'tied tongue' symbolizes the struggle to express the depth of emotion felt, a common experience in intense romantic relationships. The repetition of this line throughout the song emphasizes the persistent and unchanging nature of these feelings.

The song also touches on the physical and almost electric connection between the lovers. Phrases like 'so electric, let it slide' and 'lovin' rush tidal wave' evoke a sense of powerful, almost uncontrollable energy that comes with being close to the person they love. This connection is not just emotional but also deeply physical, affecting the singer 'in my bones.' The Knocks use these vivid descriptions to convey the all-encompassing nature of love, making it clear that this is a bond that affects every aspect of their being.
