You Turn Me On
Boy Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've had too much to smoke, too much to drink, where have I been?
I feel like the stars are getting closer and the sky is closing in
And I don't know where to begin
We're all looking for something, to take away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
The way back to the right track, maybe you can help me find the door
Is it too much to ask, too much too fast, too much to ignore?
It feels like your body's getting closer but you seem so far away
Medicine make it ok
We're all looking for someone, to take away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear me screaming?
So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
I wanna hear it
Wanna hear you breathing
We're all addicted to something, that takes away the pain
Me, and you, and my medication (making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation (will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication
The lyrics of Boy Girl's song, "You Turn Me On," seem to describe the effects of substance abuse and the search for something to numb the pain. The singer admits to being in a bad state, having smoked and drank too much, and feeling as though they have lost control. The metaphor of the stars getting closer and the sky closing in creates a sense of confusion and being overwhelmed. The repeated line "We're all looking for something, to take away the pain" emphasizes the idea of seeking some sort of escape or relief.
The chorus of the song focuses on the idea of using medication to cope. The singer acknowledges that love is a "chemical creation" and wonders if it will be "permanent," further emphasizing the idea that substances are used to create a temporary sense of happiness or contentment. The line "Synthetic sensation" speaks to the inherent artificiality of relying on substances for emotional relief.
Throughout the song, the singer seems to be reaching out for someone to help them navigate this difficult space. They ask if it's "too much to ask" for their partner to be there for them, and describe the desire to hear them breathing. The bridge of the song presents a call-to-action, an invitation to "get up off the ground," to acknowledge what's happening and face it head-on.
Overall, "You Turn Me On" presents a poignant depiction of the struggle with addiction and the search for happiness and relief.
