Fever
Azure Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go away
Fever i know your face just like a dove
Fly away
Fever turn the lights out
Take a different road
Let us be
To take my love
Go away
Fever I know in god
I shouldn't trust
He's so far away
Fever turn the lights out
Take a different road
Let us be
Fever take a different route
Travel a different road
Let us be
Fever I know you've come
To take my love
Go away fly away go away
The lyrics to Azure Ray's song Fever can be interpreted in different ways, but one possible explanation is that the song is about a person's struggle against their own self-destructive tendencies. The "fever" in the song can be seen as a metaphor for the urge or temptation to do something harmful or addictive, whether it be drugs, alcohol, or a toxic relationship. The singer acknowledges that they have a weakness for this "fever" and that it has come to take their love away. However, they also know that they cannot trust this feeling or place their faith in a distant god. They ask the fever to go away and to take a different road, hoping to break free from its hold on them.
The repetition of the phrase "fever turn the lights out, take a different road, let us be" reinforces the idea of trying to escape from the fever's pull by changing one's environment or behavior. The use of bird imagery, such as "I know your face just like a dove" and "fly away," adds to the ethereal and dreamlike quality of the song, emphasizing the fleeting and transient nature of the emotions being expressed.
