ADRENALINE
Emma Pollock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This adrenaline rush is keeping me high
Keep it coming around
It keeps the days alive, it makes the hours fly
Keep it coming around
When the holdups start holding you down
Keep your eyes to the ground
And when the holdups start holding us down
Just keep your eyes to the ground

For I, cannot, disgrace, myself

When the motion steers for the very first time
Don't give the game away
When it raises its head, and it threatens to stay
Don't give the game away
And my time is tabled and my clock is on time
I can keep it alive
And my day is set and I haven't stopped yet
I can carry on fine

For I, will have, to do it, myself

Set up the day, Give it away
And everything I've been thinking of
With no time to think, There's no time to sink
I'm looking out for an ambush
From beginning to end, Attention to bend
There can be no interruption
Set up the day, Give it away
And stop this motion from slowing

This adrenaline rush is keeping me high
Keep it coming around
It keeps the days alive, it makes the hours fly
Keep it coming around
And my time is tabled and my clock is on time
I can keep it alive
And my day is set and I haven't stopped yet
I can carry on fine

For I, will have, to do it, myself

Set up the day, Give it away
And everything I've been thinking of
With no time to think, There's no time to sink
I'm looking out for an ambush
From beginning to end, Attention to bend
There can be no interruption
Set up the day, Give it away
Don't stop this motion from slowing

Set up the day, Give it away
And everything I've been thinking of
With no time to think, There's no time to sink
I'm looking out for an ambush
From beginning to end, Attention to bend
There can be no interruption




Set up the day, Give it away
Don't stop this motion from slowing

The subtle nuances to her vocals is what makes this song so awesome. They just float above the music. Emma has one of the best voices in rock music, easily.

Que bos grupos hai en Escocia desde fai tempo! Que mágoa que non haxa tanta variedade e calidade en Galicia e en España.
