HeatWave
Emerson Long Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And where do we go, where do we go?
Heat from your body takes me far away
Heat from your body leaves me nothing to say
And oh I will hold on when they feel ill?
Heatwave, heatwave
Say how do i repeat,
Heat from your body takes me far away
Heat from your body leaves me nothing to say
And oh I will hold on when they feel
Heatwave, heatwave
The lyrics in Emerson Long's "Heatwave" seem to focus mostly on the intense physical attraction between two people. The song is clearly about a couple who share a powerful connection, driven by their mutual physical heat. The singer is completely captivated by his partner's body heat, and it seems like this is all that really matters to him at the moment. He asks "how do you and I meet?" and "where do we go" in the first verse, suggesting that he is completely swept up in the moment and doesn't really care about anything else. He is also "left with nothing to say" when he feels the heat from his partner's body, suggesting that the physical connection is so overwhelming that words are unnecessary.
The chorus of "Heatwave" repeats the phrase "Heatwave, heatwave," emphasizing the intense, almost overwhelming heat that the singer feels from his partner. He also says "oh I will hold on when they feel ill," which could suggest that the intensity of their connection might be difficult for others to understand or handle. This could also suggest that the intensity of their attraction might be a source of discomfort or difficulty for the couple themselves. Overall, "Heatwave" is a song that celebrates the intensity of physical attraction, but also acknowledges that this intensity can be both exhilarating and challenging.
