Discover the story of the song > Inertia Creeps – Massive Attack

The song is about a person (referred to as 'they') and their partner, who are physically intimate and connected. The lyrics mention feelings of loneliness and being out of the body, but ultimately they feel a sense of inertia and slow movement towards something. They also mention their home and the comfort it brings, before ending with references to catching radio waves and feeling like they are being strung along.
