Fastlane
Esthero (Featuring Jemeni And Jeleestone) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And lick your initials in my neck
Foreplay does nothing for me
But commitment makes me wet
I already know you're having an affair with words
But boo, I'm married to it
My vocabulary leaves most men wary
This is so torturous
(I know that I shouldn't)
But I can not resist
Just what is it that you are weaving
That's keeping my body from leaving?
Your presence is lingering
Longer than I thought it would and I
Feel that I should succumb to your magic
'Cause I know you're just as
Strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shinin' star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
Love in the fast lane
As my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind
Battling, battling, these feelings are traveling
Quicker than a flick of lightning, you were tightening
Round my heart and won't slow down
Burning hotter than the world underground
I'm feeling like Cupid's fool, what to do?
And the arrow's headed straight for you, you
I don't wanna love another, gotta keep this undercover
Brother I'm about to explode, I am
Strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shinin' star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
Love in the fast lane
As my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind
Would you let me lick you with alliteration
And tie you up with similes?
Give you pain and pleasure with soliloquies
Until you beg me for release
I think we could have the ebonic plague solution
Lace me with your lexiconic seed and in nine months
We could start to raise the revolution
Strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shinin' star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
Love in the fast lane
As my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind
Strong as an earthquake
Bright as a shinin' star
I remember the fragrance
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
Love in the fast lane
As my sanity quickly passed me by
Yeah, I left it all behind
Strong as an earthquake
Strong as an earthquake
Come so far for love in the fast lane
Bright as a shinin' star
The lyrics to Esthero's Fastlane featuring Jemeni and Jelleestone are not your typical love song lyrics. It is not the romantic love that the artists are focusing on, but more of a physical attraction that is so strong, it is overwhelming. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer seems to be a bit of a romantic, saying that foreplay does nothing for her, but commitment makes her wet. This is an interesting twist because usually, it is the physical that is supposed to cause that reaction. The singer also seems to be very confident of her intelligence, but she is also challenging her partner. She uses wordplay to express her interest and to gather whether her partner is up to the task of keeping up with her. The second verse has the singer confessing that she is on the verge of losing control as her partner's actions and words are driving her wild. She feels like she should "succumb to his magic" and give in to the lust they both share. The bridge brings a sense of urgency as the singer feels like she's "about to explode." She is so consumed with desire that she can't keep it under wraps for long. The fact that the lyrics are so raw and real make it a very engaging song that listeners can relate to.
Line by Line Meaning
You can tie my hands behind my back
I'm willing to submit myself to you
And lick your initials in my neck
I'm open to physical intimacy
Foreplay does nothing for me
I'm not easily aroused
But commitment makes me wet
I crave emotional attachment
I already know you're having an affair with words
I'm aware of your way with words
But boo, I'm married to it
However, I am dedicated to it
My vocabulary leaves most men wary
My intelligence and eloquence can intimidate
I need to know, can you get into it?
I'm curious if you can appreciate it
This is so torturous (I know that I shouldn't)
I acknowledge that this is dangerous
But I can not resist
Yet, I cannot control myself
Just what is it that you are weaving
What is your charm?
That's keeping my body from leaving?
That's making me stay?
Your presence is lingering
You continue to influence me
Longer than I thought it would and I
More than I anticipated, and I
Feel that I should succumb to your magic
Feel compelled to give in to your appeal
'Cause I know you're just as
Because I recognize that you're
Strong as an earthquake
Powerful and impactful
Bright as a shinin' star
Radiant and brilliant
I remember the fragrance
I recall the scent
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
I never thought I'd go to such lengths for
Love in the fast lane
Passionate and risky romance
As my sanity quickly passed me by
As I lose my grip on reality
Yeah, I left it all behind
Yeah, I abandoned all reason
Battling, battling, these feelings are traveling
Struggling with these emotions
Quicker than a flick of lightning, you were tightening
Faster than a flash, you were capturing me
Round my heart and won't slow down
Encircling my heart and refusing to weaken
Burning hotter than the world underground
A passion so intense it's like fire
I'm feeling like Cupid's fool, what to do?
I feel like I'm under love's spell, what should I do?
And the arrow's headed straight for you, you
And my feelings are directed squarely at you
I don't wanna love another, gotta keep this undercover
I don't want to fall for anyone else, need to keep this secret
Brother I'm about to explode, I am
I cannot hold back my emotions any longer
Would you let me lick you with alliteration
Can I use literary devices to pleasure you?
And tie you up with similes?
And bind you with comparisons?
Give you pain and pleasure with soliloquies
Create both agony and ecstasy with monologues
Until you beg me for release
Until you plead for me to stop
I think we could have the ebonic plague solution
I believe we hold the answer to societal problems
Lace me with your lexiconic seed and in nine months
Impregnate me with your intellectual ideas
We could start to raise the revolution
Together, we can spark a social upheaval
Strong as an earthquake
Unstoppable and formidable
Bright as a shinin' star
Radiant and attention-grabbing
I remember the fragrance
I can still recall the smell
I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for
I never thought I'd go to such lengths for
Love in the fast lane
Passionate and risky romance
As my sanity quickly passed me by
As I lose my grip on reality
Yeah, I left it all behind
Yeah, I abandoned all reason
Strong as an earthquake
Powerful and impactful
Strong as an earthquake
Unstoppable and formidable
Come so far for love in the fast lane
Travelled a great distance for reckless love
Bright as a shinin' star
Radiant and attention-grabbing
