Not Going Home
Faithless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Come with me)

A simple tension, a run through my chest
My simple intention tonight me na rest
Till I invest these proceedings with vigor and zest
And trigger wetness under your vest
Test your fitness
Special request to my love interest
Impressed, I watch the rhythm slide right up your dress
I watch the rhythm slide right up your dress
I watch the rhythm slide right up your dress

Induce a case of mild madness
Cook it till it's black 'cause we like it just a tad crisp

It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, I'm not going home
It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, I'm not going home
It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, I'm not going home
Come with me, come with me, come with me (me, me, me, me, me)

(Come with me)

(Come, come with me)

Outside the club there's a line of taxi
I want you climb next to me
Up on the backseat
I need your company to relax me
In your black dress you never look less than sexy
That we both here together has profound meaning
I'm so down with you
I can feel you breathing, on me skin
Tell the doorman we won't be leaving
Till then, and not the one that we won't be needing

You give me something to believe in
Now, kiss me properly and stop your teasing

It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, I'm not going home
It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, I'm not going home

It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, I'm not going home
It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, I'm not going home
It's not over, I'm not going home till I can take you with me, take you with me
(Take you with me, take you with me, take you with me)

Come to me
Come, come with me
Come, come with me




Come, come with me
Come, come with me

Overall Meaning

Faithless's "Not Going Home" is a pulsating and sensual track that speaks to hedonism, desire, and escapism. In the opening line, the singer invites the love interest to come with them, signaling a journey into the night where anything can happen. The lyrics speak to a sense of urgency, as the singer desires to invest the evening with "vigor and zest," wanting to trigger "wetness" under their love interest's vest. The word 'invest' implies that this encounter holds immense value for the singer, and they want to make the most of it.


The rest of the lyrics continue in the same vein, with the singer inviting their love interest to the backseat of a taxi, to stay with them until morning. The lyrics are sensual and suggestive, with lines such as "Impressed, I watch the rhythm slide right up your dress" and "You give me something to believe in, now kiss me properly and stop your teasing." The song speaks to the momentary escape that a night out can provide, and the desire to seize the moment and make the most of it.

A pioneering UK dance act. Love that deep faithless sound. Maxi jazz is such a great urban poet. One of the top UK MCs along with the likes of Roots Manuva, Tricky, The Streets and newcomers like Scroobius Pip, The Space Ape, AllFlaws

His voice is so EPIC...till this day the world's best Djs have so much respect for him... and his "I can't get no sleep" of Insomnia is so iconic.

Vincent Wong

Rest in piece Maxi. You will be dearly missed

Some places adopted Faithless more than others. When I was Uni in Nottingham in 2005, I went to see them and they were sensational. Then the bars and clubs played them also and my brain was still beating out of my skull the morning after. Great times, thank you Maxi you legend! X

This is a good tune, keeps the trademark Faithless sound with the big bassline and searing riffs. It's definitely modern and upto date too. Let's not forget Rollo, the man making all this happen, usually behind the scenes.

Maxi Jazz can always spread this "coolness" like noone else. Great track :)
