about

This song is about eros, emotional schizophrenia, the ambiguous feeling of desire, the fear of falling for someone and the art of self-control. I wanted the music to have the same ambiguous and perplexed feeling as the lyric so when we were recording it, we played the song over and over again, and every time we started from the top, we all changed instruments. So on this song, Peter, Bjorn and me play guitar, bass and drums, on the same song and for the first time. – John

lyrics

Hit the gonggong, hit the gong, hit the gonggong
A weakness growing stronger
One look at you and my heart beats like a hammer

Hit the gonggong, hit the gonggong
Feels like I’m bouncing on a tightrope
One look from you and everything begins to tremble

But I just gotta ride it out
Gotta ride it out

Cut to two, three days later
A fear accelerated
One look ahead and there is nothing but trouble

Strike a major? Strike a minor?
A moody teenage behavior
Cant sleep and my heart beats like a hammer

I just gotta ride it out
Gotta ride it out

Gonna ride it out before I’m out of my mind
Hit the gonggong, hit the gonggong
