Access Adrenalin
Beatsteaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please hang around if I can't get up,
What for?
Can't get along without you now
'cause it's the only thing
That keeps me following
I can't control myself
Excess adrenalin
I'm gonna get what I like
Don't wanna slow down never go down
I'll never fade to black
Whoever engineers
Controls of interferes
Whenever you are near
We'll be around the world singing
Where we send and receive it
Where we send and receive it
Access adrenalin
Where have you been, I can't get up
No more
I can't go on and I can't stop
So bring on the attack
I never want to go back
Don't wanna slow down, never go down
Never fade to black
Whoever engineers
Controls of interferes
Whenever you are near
We'll be around the world singing
Any other effect will exit
Everything I blame will exit
Everything I fear will exit
In the song "Access Adrenalin" by Beatsteaks, the singer is singing about their addiction to the adrenaline rush that they get from being around a certain person. They can't control themselves when this person is near and they rely on them to keep following their desires. The lyrics suggest that the rush of adrenaline is stronger than the singer's willpower or ability to control their own actions. The lines "Don't wanna slow down, never go down" and "I never want to go back" reveal the fear of losing this feeling and the need to keep going at all costs.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of this person, with the repeated line "Access adrenalin, where have you been, I can't get up no more." It's unclear if this person is intentionally fueling the singer's addiction or if it's simply a result of their chemical connection. The bridge of the song highlights the idea that this feeling is all-consuming and takes over the singer's thoughts, with lines like "Any other effect will exit, everything I fear will exit."
Overall, "Access Adrenalin" is a song about the power that some people and experiences can have over us, and how we can become addicted to those feelings, even if they aren't necessarily good for us.
