Side Effects
Cara Frew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We both know that we don't work
These cravings drive me crazy
But baby you're my artwork
Come and find me or are you right behind me you animal
When you are beside me you take me to the next degree
You know it's perfect you hold me just right
I want the side effects of your body tonight
Hurts so good to break my heart
It's just the side effects of you and me
Side effects of you and me
Come and find me or are you right behind me you animal
When you are beside me you take me to the next degree
You know it's perfect when you hold me just right
I want the side effects of your body tonight
Nothing takes me away from you
Nothing takes me away from you
The space between us two
Locked in my room and I'm thinking about you maybe
We could have been this or we could have been that, but life is crazy
Feels like it's perfect you hold me just right
Don't want to expect but it's a lonely night
Nothing takes me away from you
Nothing takes me away from you
The space between us two
What I love will kill me
(Nothing takes me away from you)
But I was dying anyway
(Nothing takes me away from you)
What I love will kill me
(The space between us two)
But I was dying anyway
(Nothing takes me away from you)
What I love will kill me, but I was dying anyway
(Nothing takes me away from you)
Hurts so good to break my heart
It's just the side effects of you and me
(The space between us two)
Side effects of you and me
Side effects of you and me
The lyrics to Cara Frew's song "Side Effects" seem to be about a complicated and confusing relationship. The lines "You're milk and honey dripping from my skin" and "These cravings drive me crazy" suggest a physical attraction to someone that the singer acknowledges is not healthy for them. However, they describe this person as their "artwork," which could imply that they find beauty in their flaws and imperfections. The chorus speaks to the intense desire the singer feels for this person, despite knowing that it's not good for them. They are willing to take the risk of the "side effects" of this relationship because they feel passionately about this person.
The opening lines of the second verse further illustrate the conflicting emotions the singer is experiencing. They are "locked in [their] room" and thinking about this person, but also acknowledge that their relationship could have gone in a different direction. The repeated lines "Nothing takes me away from you / The space between us two" suggest a feeling of both closeness and distance in the relationship. The bridge repeats the notion that "what I love will kill me," suggesting an awareness of the risks involved in this relationship.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the idea of being drawn to someone who is not good for you but still feeling compelled to pursue the connection despite the potential negative consequences.
