Let’s Get Lost
Beck and Bat For Lashes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden, and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Let me come closer, I'm not your shadow
With our eyes shielding from the oncoming counts

It's not hard for us to say what we should not

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden, and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Ooh ooh ooh
Let's get lost
Ooh ooh ooh

Let's get lost
Let's get lost


Overall Meaning

"Let's Get Lost" by Beck and Bat For Lashes is a song about two people who are drawn to each other, but struggle with their conflicting desires for freedom and connection. The first two lines represent the duality of the characters' personalities - one moment they feel cold and detached, while the next they are passionate and wild. They are both fascinated by each other, but both apprehensive about getting too close.


The chorus is a plea to each other to forget their inhibitions and embrace the moment. They are fully aware that their connection may not last beyond the night, but they are willing to take the risk in order to experience the thrill of the unknown. Despite their anxieties about intimacy, they are drawn to each other like magnets.


The second verse hints at the tensions between the two characters. They are trying to resist their attraction to each other but can't help feeling drawn together. They know that their relationship is complicated, but they still want to make the most of their time together.


Overall, "Let's Get Lost" is a song about the power of attraction and the complexities of human desire. It explores the sometimes confusing and contradictory feelings that arise when we are drawn to someone, but also afraid of getting too close.


Line by Line Meaning

Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
I am vulnerable, I am not in control of my emotions.


Touch me I'm golden, and wild as the wind blows
I am confident, free-spirited and unpredictable.


And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination
We are captivated by each other and cannot let go of our desire.


If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
Let's forget about the world and indulge in our passion for just one night.


Let me come closer, I'm not your shadow
I am not someone who follows you; allow me to be near you as an equal.


With our eyes shielding from the oncoming counts
We are avoiding the consequences of our actions by not looking ahead.


It's not hard for us to say what we should not
We are aware of our wrongdoing, but we cannot resist each other.

We take delight in being lost in each other's company and are willing to abandon ourselves to it.
