Synchronicity I Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With one breath, with one flow
You will know synchronicity
A sleep trance, a dream dance
A shared romance, synchronicity

[Chorus]
A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectable
Nothing is invincible

[Verse 2]
If we share this nightmare
We can dream spiritus mundi
If you act as you think
The missing link, synchronicity

[Chorus]
A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectable
Nothing is invincible
Oh!

[Verse 3]
We know you, they know me
Extrasensory, synchronicity
A star fall, a phone call
It joins all, synchronicity

[Chorus]
A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectable
Nothing is invincible

[Verse 4]
It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside synchronicity
Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws
Scientific pause
Synchronicity

[Outro]
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity, oh!

About

The opening track of The Police’s blockbuster 1983 album Synchronicity starts with a repeating synthesizer riff. From there it’s a cavalcade of theoretical concepts on the synchronization of related effects paired with unrelated causes. Psychologist Carl Jung’s concept of meaningful coincidence was Sting’s main influence behind much of the writing of the album and if it were to be treated as a “concept album,” then this first track is the introduction to what you’re about to hear in the rest of the tracks.
