The Uncontainable Rush of Infatuation

The song "There She Goes" by Sixpence None The Richer is a cover of the original by The La's and is often interpreted as a sweet, melodic ode to the intoxicating rush of infatuation. The lyrics describe an individual's overwhelming feelings towards someone they are enamored with, as this person continually races through their mind. The repetition of the phrase "There she goes again" emphasizes the persistent and inescapable nature of these thoughts and feelings.

The song's verses convey a sense of helplessness in the face of attraction, with the heart racing and the inability to contain the emotions that remain. The metaphor of the person of affection calling the narrator's name and pulling their train suggests a powerful draw, an irresistible force that moves the narrator despite themselves. The mention of healing pain indicates that this person brings a sense of relief or happiness that the narrator has been missing.

Overall, the song captures the essence of a moment caught in the gravitational pull of love or infatuation. It's about the involuntary and relentless nature of attraction, where the mere presence or thought of the person can dominate one's senses and emotions. The simplicity of the lyrics, combined with the catchy melody, allows listeners to project their own experiences of love and longing onto the song, making it a timeless piece about the human condition of desire.
