1) The Swiss duo of Felix Haug (drums and keyboards) and Kurt Maloo (guitar and vocals), formerly part of a trio called Ping Pong, scored an international hit in 1986 with the atmospheric ballad “The Captain of Her Heart” (#16 US pop, #4 US AC, #8 UK, #17 Canada) from their debut album Blue. It would be their only substantial hit, with “Devils Ball,” the lead single from 1987 follow-up album Dou3le, stalling at #71 in the UK and failing to chart in the US. The duo split in 1989 and Haug died following a heart attack in 2004.
2) Double is the stage name for Japanese R&B singer Takako Hirasawa and previously was a duo consisting of Hirasawa and her sister, Sachiko. “Shake” was the duo’s highest charting single (#21 Japan). After the death of her sister in May 1999, Takako continued as Double and is regarded as one of the first artists to bring American-style R&B to Japan. She also portrays a sexualized image, a rarity for Japanese artists.

Double Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a lot of hard feelings, push em back further
Got a lot of battle scars of decay
Lot of nightmares at large in my wake
Had to lose a lot of good motives to be bad for sure
Had to break some good habits, this is afterward
I lose patience like it’s blood, I’m submerged in
Still got a lot of bad people in my corner
Only for a refill
Only for renewal
Never even need help
If I don’t get the three, well
I still get the rebound
Even if I bleed out
I’ll get you with my T cells
I don’t need your love, I need your life
You judged me wrong, I’ve always been the type
I don’t want your words, I want your eyes
I don’t want to lie, I’d rather die
I say that, but see I’m still alive
I’ll take anything that gets me high
I don’t say what I mean, and versa vice
I’m cold as ice, you’re hot as ice
I don’t want a "take," I want a "steal"
Don’t need food for thought, I need a meal
I don’t need more sleep, I need more pills
And I don’t need to feel, I need my fill
I don’t seem myself, I see myself
I don’t seem to mind the least amount
If I swear on my life don’t bleep it out
‘Cause it was all to be the guy you read about (You dream about)
Read my mind, between the lines
Pick my brain, but don’t redesign
Spend my time like it’s free time
Show me what I wanna see now while I can see fine
I just put a lot of bad feelings on the back burner (Burner)
Got a lot of hard feelings, push em back further (Further)
Got a lot of battle scars of decay
Lot of nightmares at large in my wake (Wake)
Had to lose a lot of good motives to be bad for sure
Had to break some good habits, this is afterward
I lose patience like it’s blood, I’m submerged in
Still got a lot of bad people in my circle (Circle)
Don’t remember asking “how do you feel?”
Only for a refill
Only for renewal
Never even need help
If I don’t get the three, well
I still get the rebound
Even if I bleed out
I’ll get you with my T cells
I’m not always down, in fact I’m up
It’s just that when I’m bored I have to fuss
And if I changed myself then I’d be dumb
And if I wasn’t too much then I’d be one
I’m the one, you can’t tell me none
I like cash, but you too flashy, I don’t dig the sun
I dig the hatchet like apache, I’m an athlete
I run track, you’re who I’m tracking
Run it back, got no one backing
Don’t remember asking how you feel
Keep it rolling, new wheels
You been sitting too still
This ain’t Yu-Gi-Oh
Either belittle or be little
Don’t behave, don’t be civil
Take you out, my renewal
(‘cause I need)
I don’t need your love, I need your life
You judged me wrong, I’ve always been the type
I don’t want your words, I want your eyes
I don’t want to lie, I’d rather die
I say that, but see I’m still alive
I’ll take anything that gets me high
I don’t say what I mean, and versa vice
I’m cold as ice, you’re hot as ice
I just put a lot of bad feelings on the back burner
Got a lot of hard feelings, push em back further
Got a lot of battle scars of decay
Lot of nightmares at large in my wake (Wake)
Had to lose a lot of good motives to be bad for sure
Had to break some good habits, this is afterward
I lose patience like it’s blood, I’m submerged in
Still got a lot of bad people in my circle (Circle)
