Elize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing it
I'm losing it
I'm losing it
He puts the music on
My heart just goes along
I'm losing it (I gotta get my beat back)
[Chorus: x2]
Shake me, move me
Baby now the heat is on
Baby now the heat is on
Baby now the heat is on
Shake me move me
I gotta get my beat back
Now!
The lyrics to Elize's song Shake describe the powerful effects of music on the body and mind. When the music starts playing, the singer loses herself in its rhythm and becomes completely absorbed by it. The repetition of "I'm losing it" emphasizes this feeling of being carried away by the music. The singer's heart also gets caught up in the music, indicating a deep emotional response.
The chorus calls for the music to "shake me, move me" and bring back the singer's beat or groove. The repetition of "Baby now the heat is on" further emphasizes the sensual and transformative nature of the music, which has the power to awaken the body and awaken inner desires. The urge to "get my beat back" suggests that the singer may have temporarily lost her sense of self or connection to her body, and the music is the key to getting it back.
Overall, the lyrics to Shake celebrate the joyful, liberating, and transformative power of music, particularly in the context of dance and physical movement.
