Fever
Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's hot as hell in here
Everybody wants to lose control
The music's turned up loud, the lights
We'll turn them low

Wound up like a hurricane
And my head is about to explode
Can't wait to self-destruct

Can't wait to let it go

Whoa, she hits the stage
Whoa, she makes me crave
So come and get my money (whoa)

I can feel your fever taking over
Can you see your fever taking over me?
I can feel your fever taking over
Got a dirty feeling that you're the remedy

Whoa, come on

So I'm looking for a spark
I've got a body to reignite
Don't worry, you won't get burned
So don't, don't put up a fight

Pushed hard to breaking point
And I'm ready to overload
No limits and no regrets
It's time to sell my soul

Whoa, you're what I want
Whoa, you're what I need
So come and take my money (whoa)

I can feel your fever taking over
Can you see your fever taking over me?
I can feel your fever taking over
Got a dirty feeling that you're the remedy
That you're the remedy

Come here you naughty girl, you're such a tease
You look so beautiful down on your knees
Keep on those high heel shoes, rip off all your clothes
You smell so fucking good, it makes me lose control

Losing control (you're what I want)
Selling my soul (you're what I need)
Losing control (you're what I want)
I can't let you go (whoa)

I can feel your fever taking over
Can you see your fever taking over me?
I can feel your fever taking over
Got a dirty feeling that you're the remedy

That you're the remedy
You are the remedy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bullet for My Valentine's Fever depict an intense, hedonistic desire and lust for someone that's caused by the environment they find themselves in. The lyrics paint a picture of a seedy nightclub where the lights are low, the music is loud, and people are looking to lose control. The singer of the song is wound up and ready to explode, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to let loose and indulge in their vices. The object of their desire, a performer on stage, only serves to elevate their senses, and the singer describes being consumed by a "fever" that's taking over their body. In the bridge of the song, the lyrics become even more explicit, describing in graphic detail the singer's fantasies about the object of their desire.
