Passion
Chubby Popa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience.
Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
In the bars and the cafes
Passion in the streets and the alleys
Passion a lot of pretending
Passion everybody searching passion.
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah.
Passion passion passion passion
New York, Moscow, passion
Hong Kong, Tokyo, passion
Paris and Bangkok, passion.
A lotta people ain't got, passion.
Hear it on the radio, passion,
Read it in the paper, passion,
Hear it in the churches, passion,
See it in the school yards, Passion.
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah.
Passion passion passion passion
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to, yeah
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to, yeah
Alone in your bed at night, passion,
It's half past midnight, passion
As you turn out your sidelight, passion,
Something ain't right, passion.
There's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, I need passion
You need passion, We need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion
Even the president needs passion
Everybody I know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion
Some people are scared of passion
Yeah passion
The lyrics to Chubby Popa's song "Passion" depict a sense of longing and desire for a deep, meaningful connection in a fast-paced and often shallow world. The opening lines suggest that someone is in a state of frustration and impatience, possibly due to not finding what they are looking for. This sets the tone for the rest of the song's exploration of passion.
The song then transitions to a description of a city where hearts are being twisted and lovers are being cheated. The bars, cafes, streets, and alleys become arenas for people to seek and pretend to have passion. It highlights the desperation and search for something real amidst a superficial and deceptive environment.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that once someone falls in love, they are constantly in danger of being hurt or misled. A hot night spent with a stranger serves as a risky temptation. All the person wanted was someone to hold on to, a form of emotional connection and stability, which seems elusive.
The song then expands its scope by mentioning various cities around the world, suggesting that the desire for passion is universal and transcends cultural boundaries. It laments that many people lack passion in their lives, hearing about it superficially through media, but not actually experiencing it themselves. Passion is portrayed as something yearned for but often missing in the lives of individuals.

It emphasizes the importance of passion in personal fulfillment and suggests that without it, life loses its meaning and becomes empty.
Towards the end, the lyrics delve into the personal experiences of the individual, highlighting the loneliness and dissatisfaction that arise from a lack of passion. The repetition of the line "There's no passion, there's no passion" expresses a sense of frustration and desperation. The lyrics then call for everyone, including the president and the people the singer knows, to acknowledge and embrace their need for passion. It acknowledges the intensity and power of passion, with some even willing to die or kill for it, while others fear it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Passion" delve into the universal human desire for deep connections and emotional fulfillment, set within a world that often lacks authenticity and depth. It encourages individuals to acknowledge and pursue passion as an essential aspect of a meaningful life.
