Regrets
Eurythmics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a delicate mind
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides
With your furniture

I've got a delicate mind
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides
With your furniture

I'm an electric wire
And I'm stuck inside your head

I'm a hungry Mohican
I've got a razor blade smile
So don't come near me
I've got a singular style

Fifteen senses
Are on my plate
All the things
That you love to hate

I'm an electric wire
I'm stuck inside your head

Where I go to no one knows
Find me where the cold wind blows
Where I go to no one knows
Find me where the cold wind blows
(Regrets)

I've got a delicate mind
(Regrets)
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides
(Regrets)
With your furniture
(Regrets)

I've got a delicate mind
I've got a dangerous
And my fist collides
With your furniture
(Regrets)

I'm an electric wire
I'm an electric wire
I'm an electric wire
(Regrets)
(Regrets)

(Regrets)
Black is red and red is white
In this country I do what I like
(Regrets)

I said, "Black is red"
(Regrets)
(Regrets)
Do what I like
(Regrets)

That's right, that's right, that's right
(Regrets)
(Regrets)
Red is white
(Regrets)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eurythmics's song "Regrets" are thought-provoking and deep, and there's a myriad of ways to interpret them. It seems like the singer is trying to express the complexity of their personality and how it can sometimes come off as destructive. They start by saying they have a delicate mind and dangerous nature, which could mean that they're easily affected by their surroundings and emotions, and can sometimes react in harmful ways. The next lines, "And my fist collides with your furniture," suggest that they might have a tendency to lash out physically when they're upset.


The singer also mentions that they're like an "electric wire" and are "stuck inside" someone's head, which could mean that they have a powerful presence that's hard to ignore. They go on to describe themselves as a "hungry Mohican" with a "razor blade smile," which paints a picture of someone who's fierce and unapologetic. They warn others not to come near them because they have a "singular style," which suggests they don't conform to societal norms.


The last part of the song is a bit cryptic, but it seems like the singer is saying that they're constantly changing and difficult to pin down. They say "where I go, no one knows" and urge the listener to "find me where the cold wind blows." This could mean that they don't have a clear direction in life and are constantly searching for something. Overall, "Regrets" is a powerful song that delves into the complexity of human nature.

on Love Is a Stranger

Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away

Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

Love is a danger of a different kind
To take you away and leave you far behind
And love love love is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it and you still can't get enough of the stuff

It's savage and it's cruel and it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood and it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal, it distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up and you're left like a zombie

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so

It's an obsession

It's guilt edged, glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
