Speed Of Light

from Defying Gravity by Kevin Coem

about

This song's structure is quite uncommon when it comes to pop music, as it contains only 2 choruses, and the bridge section comes right after the 2nd verse. That's exactly why I thought it would be a great way to start off this album: it showcases something different and original. It was fun to produce too, because there are lots of distorted and glitched melodies that make it interesting, and it also mixes pop sounds with oriental instruments and sounds.

The lyrics discuss how sometimes we're in denial about who we love, and as the song says, it suddenly hits us at the speed of light. It's a song about feeling love in a way that it makes you feel like the best version of yourself, so I sang about accepting and embracing that kind of love no matter what.

lyrics

You're like a shooting star that's lighting up my sky
Until it disappears
I'm craving for your touch, I'm going crazy now
But you never let down...

Shining like a ray of light
When I'm in the darkest night
Make it last until we run out of time

Yeah I've been telling many lies
But before I realize
It hit me at the speed of light
Yeah you just look me in the eye
Just tie me down tonight
It hit me at the speed of light
It hit me at the speed of light

Ah, ah~ Ah, ah~
It hit me at the speed of light
Ah, ah~ Ah, ah~
It hit me at the speed of light

Take me to a different time and space
Where we can be who we want to be right now
Our bodies are defying gravity
There's no need to know why, we'll keep on flying high

Tough like a wildflower
Growing in the hardest hour
Even now it's not too late to break out

You know I'm wild at heart
But you could tame me now
Yeah, we're just like a piece of art
We're running at the speed of light, oh yeah!

Yeah I've been telling many lies
But before I realize
It hit me at the speed of light
Yeah you just look me in the eye
Just tie me down tonight
It hit me at the speed of light
It hit me at the speed of light

Ah, ah~ Ah, ah~
It hit me at the speed of light
Ah, ah~ Ah, ah~
It hit me at the speed of light

Just like a meteor shower
The sparks are falling all over
Don't stop it now, don't stop it now
No need to make it feel slower
Hands up, and shout it out louder
Don't stop it now, don't stop it now
