ECSTASY
Bananarama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo Lo Lo Love
How fabulous do I look
Lo Lo Lo Love
I I I I'm Ecstasy...
The opening lines of Bananarama's song "Ecstasy" are an expression of confidence and self-love, as the singer asks how fabulous they look while repeating the word "love." This suggests that the singer is basking in the positive feelings associated with the drug Ecstasy, which is referenced in the chorus: "I'm Ecstasy." The repetition of the "I I I" emphasizes the individualistic nature of the experience, as if the singer is reveling in their own personal euphoria.
At the same time, there is an element of performance in the song, as if the singer is presenting themselves to an audience. This could be interpreted as a nod to the club scene where Ecstasy is often taken, or as a commentary on the pressure to conform to certain standards of beauty and behavior. The chorus, with its insistent repetition of "Ecstasy," could be seen as a kind of mantra or rallying cry, a way of asserting one's identity in the face of external expectations.
Overall, "Ecstasy" is a celebration of the pleasure and freedom that can come with drug use, as well as a defiant expression of individuality. However, it is also a complex and ambiguous song that invites multiple interpretations, depending on one's perspective on drugs and their role in society.
