Def Leppard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could try to get closer to me
I'm in luck, I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, I'm shakin' to my knees
I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh, can you feel it? (Oh can you feel it?)
Do you believe it? (Do you believe it?)
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin' (when you get that feelin')
Better start believin' (better start believin')
'Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near
Out of me, into you, yeah
You can hide it's just a one way street
Oh, I believe I'm in you, yeah
Open wide, that's right, dream me off my feet
Oh, believe in me
I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire
Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh, can you feel it? (Oh can you feel it?)
Do you believe it? (Do you believe it?)
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin' (when you get that feelin')
Better start believin' (better start believin')
'Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near
Come on
I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire
Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh, can you feel it? (Oh, can you feel it?)
Do you believe it? (Do you believe it?)
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin' (when you get that feelin')
Better start believin' (better start believin')
'Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe (oh can you feel it? Ooh)
(Oh, I get hysterical) hysterical, (hysteria) hysteria
(When you get that feeling) you'd better believe it
(Better start believing) because it's a miracle
Oh, say you will, oh babe, say you will
Get closer to me, get closer, baby (oh)
Baby, closer, (closer) get closer (get closer), closer to me
The song "Hysteria" by Def Leppard is about the power of attraction and the intense feelings that come with it. The singer is madly in love with someone who seems to be out of reach, but he can't help how he feels. He describes his obsession with this person as being hypnotized and shaking to his knees. He pleads with the person to let him know if they're alone tonight, as he can't stop the feeling or the fight to be with them.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the phrase "hysteria" to describe the intense emotions he's feeling. He asks if the person can feel it too, and if they believe in the magical mysteria that comes with falling in love. The song ends with the singer begging the person to come closer to him.
Overall, "Hysteria" captures the overwhelming rush of emotions that come with falling in love and the desperation to be with the person who holds your heart.

@rockzone8641
I think the greatest thing about this band is not their music, but the fact that they didn't ditch their drummer after he lost an arm in a car accident. That's true friendship and loyalty.
@robertofraser101
So right
@TapesnCartridges
A one-handed drummer that out-plays two handers
@Pasquale-wl6kj
Their music is also amazing
@boxadorsrus5991
The story according to MTV at the time, was that the drummer began figuring out ways to drum one-handed while he was still in the hospital bed recuperating from the accident that cost him his arm. He would tap out rhythms with his remaining hand and his two feet while in bed. That's dedication.
@Bigcornbread
Yeah but then stop and think about the pete willis thing and not so much what happened to the loyalty there they said it was because of his drinking and partying but hell they was all wild back then high n dry .
@Glen-ft8ch
