Fever
Black Keys Lyrics

Fever where'd you run to
Asking where the feeling of passion has gone

Acting out of certainty
Making decisions based on the intense emotion of fever

A fever let me live a dream
The high of fever allows for a temporary escape into a dreamlike state

Fever, how much slept on
The importance of fever is often underestimated

No one misbehave too
The high of fever can sometimes lead to reckless behavior

Fever let me sun screw
Fever creates a sense of freedom and lack of inhibition

Wouldn't leave you if I could
Despite the struggles that come with fever, it's difficult to let go of the intense feeling

Fever 'cause I’m breaking
Fever is causing a physical and emotional breakdown

Fever got me aching
The pain of fever is overwhelming

Fever how will you explain
Questioning the reason for and understanding of fever

Break it down again
Trying to make sense of the fever and its effects

Fever got me guilty
Feeling guilty for the consequences of the fever

Just go ahead and kill me
The struggles of fever seem insurmountable

Fever can you hear me
Desiring a response or explanation from fever itself

You shook me like I never been
Fever has a powerful and unexpected impact on the individual

Now show me how to love again
Seeking guidance and support through the high of fever

It used to be a blessing
Fever was once seen as a positive force

But fever got me stressing
The negative effects of fever are beginning to outweigh its benefits

Realizing I am the played
Feeling helpless in the face of the fever's power

But fever let me play the game
Despite the struggles, fever provides a temporary sense of control and power

Now if the cold, pale, light in your eyes
Describing a moment of clarity and realization

Reaches those horizon lines
The moment has a profound impact on the individual

You know not to leave her
Recognizing the importance and power of fever - not to be left behind

Fever
The recurring theme and catalyst of the song
