Analysis of song lyrics
I don't know just how it happened;
I let down my guard
I let down my guard
Swore I'd never fall in love again,
-- They have been in love before, maybe they’ve been hurt and don’t want to go through it again.
but I fell hard
-- They have been in love before, maybe they’ve been hurt and don’t want to go through it again.
but I fell hard
– They
are really in love with this person.
Guess I should have
seen it coming;
caught me by surprise
caught me by surprise
Wasn't looking where I was going;
-- They
weren’t looking for love at the time it just came to them.
I fell into your eyes
I fell into your eyes
–
They instantly fell in love.
You came into my crazy world
-- She
has a hectic life that she probably isn’t ready for a relationship, could be
relating to mental health.
like a cool and cleansing rain
like a cool and cleansing rain
– She
was ready for something new in her life.
Before I, I knew what
hit me, baby,
you were flowing through my veins
you were flowing through my veins
–
Referencing to drugs, and that they control you.
I'm addicted to you, hooked on your
love
Like a powerful drug I can't get
enough of
--
The writer is referring to love being just like a drug and that they are
addicted to them. This could be representing them being dependent on the other
person. This line is referring to the feeling of love rather than love itself.
Lost in your eyes, drowning in blue
– The
person she is in love with eyes are blue and can be related to how people feel
when they’re high on drugs
I'm out of control, what can I do?
– Can’t
stop themselves falling in love with this person, can’t control it, linking to
mental health and drug addiction how they have no control.
I'm addicted to you!
Midnight blows in through the window,
--
They will make every effort to see them, suggests they sneak out to see them at
night and may even watch them through the windows.
dances 'round the room
dances 'round the room
–
Could be relating to what they do together.
Got me hypnotized,
– No
control.
I'm getting high on love with you
-- Can
be relation to sex and that is like an addiction to them and can be referring to
drugs again and being dependent on them as they need them.
I couldn't live without you now, Oh,
I know I'd go insane
I know I'd go insane
– Shows
their dependence.
I wouldn't last one night alone,
baby
- Can’t be without them even for a short amount
of time.
I couldn't stand the
pain!
I'm addicted to you
Hooked on your love
Like a powerful drug
I can't get enough of
Lost in your eyes
Drowning in blue
Out of control
What can I do?
I'm addicted to you!
The repetition of the chorus shows how much she needs this
person to survive.
