Contact

The song features an individual surrounded by a whirlwind of emotions, likened to feelings that are palpable in the environment—'flying around.' These emotions are inescapable and are experienced in various places, suggesting the omnipresence of the narrator's inner turmoil. Big Audio Dynamite uses physical manifestations of emotions to paint a picture of a world where feelings are as tangible as rain coming down or leaves in the trees, thus creating a vivid emotional landscape.

Throughout the song, there's a clear struggle to articulate what the narrator wants to say. The lyrics 'I'm on the right track for what I want to say, I got to get it out, there ain't no other way' indicate both a sense of direction and an urgency in communication. This has the listener picturing someone who is bursting with sentiment and needs to externalize it, further emphasizing the urgency and intensity of these feelings. The repetitive lines also mirror the feeling of being trapped within one's own emotions, with each verse underscoring the need to release them.

'To make contact' is the refrain that underscores the whole song. In each mention, it resonates with the desire for connection, which could allude to the human need to be understood and heard. Big Audio Dynamite leaves the purpose of this contact ambiguous—is it a plea for help, a desire for a romantic connection, or simply a need to be acknowledged by anyone who will listen?

The song ends without resolution, cycling back to the narrator's feelings and the pressing need to share them. The lack of resolution gives the listener a sense of the continuum of human emotion, hinting that the journey of learning how to articulate and share one's inner world may never end. It’s a loop, paralleling how feelings can recur and evolve over time, sometimes without a clear conclusion.
