Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
far off the light
missing my headache
visions of light
sweeter delight
kissin' my loveache
how come I must know
how come I must know
where the passion hides
its feelings?
how come I must know
where obsession needs to go?
how come I must know
where the passion hides
its feelings?
Deep in the night
far off the light
missing my headache
Visions of light
sweeter delight
kissin' my loveache
how come I must know
where obsession needs to go?
how come I must know
where the passion hides
its feelings?
how come I must know
where obsession needs to go?
how come I must know
the direction of relieving?
Deep in the night
how come I must know
where the passion hides
its feelings?
kissin' my loveache
how come I must know
where obsession needs to go?
how come I must know
the direction of relieving?

I find it amusing that the co-founder got upset when Freedom trademarked the group name yet he wasn't a bit moved when they used Martha's voice with no credit given. Things that make you go hmmmm indeed
@areiaaphrodite
I was just about to say the same thing!
@musiclover-cn7tb
@Aeria Aphroditê exactly they used not one singer's voice but Jocelyn Browns vocals were used for snap's the power Martha Wash had her vocals stolen by black box another house club dance group I hope she sued them and c&c.
