Maximum Overdrive
2 Unlimited Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Join me for a ride
Speed up the music
Join me for a ride, maximum overdrive
Join me for a ride
Speed up the music
Join me for a ride, maximum overdrive

The heat is on, oh yeah, we gotta move on
Check the brakes and listen to the new song
We{re gonna overdrive you to the maximum
Now I show you our trip's just began
Rough and tough with your hands on the steering wheel
The will is strong, the heart as steel
The maximum overdrive, king of the road
Feel the tension, high up in your throat

Join me for a ride
Speed up the music
Join me for a ride, maximum overdrive
Join me for a ride
Speed up the music
Join me for a ride, maximum overdrive

Put some pressure upon the gas
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
Feel the force of the main source
The power is strong with the strength of a horse
The ultimate ride that makes you to the overdrive
Remember this: only the strong survive
Bum stikkie di bum stikkie
Di bum stikkie di bum

Take you down into the maximum

Join me for a ride
Speed up the music
Join me for a ride, maximum overdrive
Join me for a ride




Speed up the music
Join me for a ride, maximum overdrive

Que buenos recuerdos con esta música, buena música, dan ganas de regresar al pasado para seguirla disfrutando...!.

Вспоминаю 1994-й. Я был тогда школьником. Время конкретно в бывшем СССР было такое себе - лихое. Но вот ЭТО было одним из символов лично для меня того времени. Как и залы с приставочными играми типа Streets of Rage, где тогда многие из сверстников зависали. Даже не играя. В т.ч. потому, что шла спутниковая трансляция с MTV, где этот клип показывали. И много чего еще. Ну и вообще - эта группа - часть культурного кода первой 90-х. Это объективно. Как и в целом про евроденс.
