No Matter What
Dominus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
S*** lover dude
Lightning is calling you
When you shake the little thing you do
The dance-floor belongs to you
No matter what time, no matter what day
It don't take long to read our needs
Just come on in and feel the beat
The beat
The devil will possess us both
Possessed us with the rock 'n' roll
Shake the night into the beat
We know what we love and feel
No matter what time, no matter what day
The beating, pumping, jumping rhythm is here to stay
It don't take time to read our needs
Just come on in and feel the beat
S*** lover dude
Lightning is calling you
When you shake the little thing you do
The dance-floor belongs to you
No matter what time, no matter what day
The beating, pumping, jumping rhythm is here to stay
It don't take long to read our needs
Just come on in and feel the beat
The beat, the beat, the beat, the beat....
The first line of the lyrics is a quote from an unknown person who is talking about the popularity of rock 'n' roll music among teenagers. In general, the quote suggests that the beat, or the rhythm, of rock 'n' roll music is what appeals to young people. This sentiment is reflected in the rest of the song, which celebrates the power of rhythm to move people to dance and to feel alive. The phrase "S*** lover dude" is interesting because it is unclear what "S***" refers to - it could be a euphemism for drugs, or it could just be a slang term for someone who loves to party. Similarly, the line "The devil will possess us both" suggests a connection between rock 'n' roll and darker, supernatural forces.
Throughout the song, there is a sense that the music is more than just entertainment - it is a force that takes over and possesses those who hear it. The repeated refrain of "No matter what time, no matter what day / The beating, pumping, jumping rhythm is here to stay" reinforces the idea that the power of the beat is always present, always ready to take control. Overall, the song is a celebration of the primal, irresistible appeal of rhythm, and the way it can unite people on the dance floor.
