Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Music is my drug
Music is my love
Music is my favorite drug
Music is my only love
Music is my favorite drug
Verse one:
Music is my favorite drug
Music I've fallen in love
I got my milkshake
And I'm doing real well
Can't you tell! can't you tell!
Cuz I'm texting on my cell
Cuz I ahhhh ahhhhh
And your blahhh blahhh
Cuz I'm restitched
Remixed!
You can talk
You stupid tricks
Your the ones
Who'll buy my shit
Snap! snap! make this club clap
Chorus:
Dear mate to the soul
I've lost control
I'm breaking the scene
And this stupid routine
I've taken the pills
Giving in to thrills
Save the rave
Gotta dance the pain away!
Verse 2:
I fell in love with the girl
At the dance club
She said what! as I'm kicking
Up the party drugs
She's so rad with her
Pin up stilettos
Pop lock
Bodies rock
Turn up
That speaker box
Bang! bang! dannng
Shoot em up
Shoot up this place
I'm with this
This sickness
So fictitious
Pre chorus:
Can you feel this?
Can you feel this!
Chorus:
Dear mate to the soul
I've lost control
I'm breaking the scene
And this stupid routine
I've taken the pills
Giving in to thrills
Save the rave
Gotta dance the pain away! x 2
Bridge:
We gotta dance
Dance the pain away
We gotta dance
Dance the pain away
We got to!
We have to!
