Infected
Fallon & Felisha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In and out of, rela-tionships,
Finding someone, to share, life with,
I'm unwilling, and I won't carry the load,
Fairytales, and the fan-tasies,
There is no prince, com-ing to save me,
When the book closes, I still end up alone,
[Chorus:]
I never wanted to fall in love,
Just for my own protection, (protection)
I wouldn't let my heart accept it, (accept it)
But when he touched me, I got infected,
(infected, infected)
I made a promise to never fall,
And so far, I thought I kept it, (kept it)
But my heart won't let me reject it, (reject it)
Cause when he kissed me,
I got infected, (infected)
I'm infected with you love
[Verse 2:]
Now I'm right here, wat-ching you sleep,
Never thought that this would be me,
My hearts been invaded,
And now I'm in your control,
And when you hold tight,
It just feels so right,
And I get butterflies,
When I meet your eyes,
Tell me how did you get by,
When I let no one inside,
And it caught me by surprise,
When you came and infected me
[Chorus:]
I never wanted to fall in love,
Just for my own protection, (protection)
I wouldn't let my heart accept it, (accept it)
But when he touched me, I got infected,
(infected, infected)
I made a promise to never fall,
And so far, I thought I kept it, (kept it)
But my heart won't let me reject it, (reject it)
Cause when he kissed me,
I got infected, (infected)
I'm infected with you love
[Verse 3:]
The symptoms are,
Your body starts to weaken,
The side effects are,
You may fall way too deep in,
Then you'll deny that,
What your feelin' is that feelin',
You'll try to fight it,
But your gonna have to give in,
Whatever you had, (had)
You gave it to me, (me)
Was immune to love, (but)
You infected me, (me)
Like the one's who believe,
Now I should be quarantined,
I was fine bein' blind,
But you made me see,
[Chorus: {Adlibs}]
I never wanted to fall in love,
Just for my own protection, (protection)
{just for my own protection}
I wouldn't let my heart accept it, (accept it)
{I wouldn't let my heart accept it}
But when he touched me, I got infected,
{whooo-oooh ooh}
(infected, infected)
I made a promise to never fall,
{I made a promise to never fall in love ahh-ooh-haa}
And so far, I thought I kept it, (kept it)
But my heart won't let me reject it, (reject it)
{it won't let me, it won't let me, ahh}
Cause when he kissed me,
I got infected, (infected)
I'm infected with you love
[Outro:]
I'm infected by, I'm infected by,
I'm infected by, I'm infected by,
I'm infected by, I'm infected by,
Love...
The song Infected by Fallon & Felisha is about falling in love unexpectedly despite one's efforts to avoid it. The first verse speaks about the singer's reluctance to be in relationships and carry the load that comes with them. She does not believe in fairytales and the fantasy of being saved by a prince charming. However, the chorus reveals that she falls in love with someone who infects her, and she cannot resist his love despite her promise to never fall in love. In the second verse, the singer expresses her surprise at being in love with the person she is with and how being in control of her heart is no longer an option. The bridge compares love to a disease that is hard to resist and infects the singer even though she was immune to it before.
Overall, the song conveys the message that people's hearts can be infected with love unexpectedly, and no matter how much they try to protect themselves from it, they cannot resist the feeling that comes with it.
Line by Line Meaning
In and out of, rela-tionships,
I have been in many relationships, but none of them have lasted
Finding someone, to share, life with,
Looking for a partner to share my life with
I'm unwilling, and I won't carry the load,
I am not willing to take on the burden of a relationship alone
Fairytales, and the fan-tasies,
My idea of relationships has been influenced by unrealistic fairytale and fantasy stories
There is no prince, com-ing to save me,
I have learned that there is no perfect man who will come and rescue me from my problems
When the book closes, I still end up alone,
No matter how much I invest in a relationship, I still end up feeling alone and unfulfilled
Until you came along
My perspective changed when I met you
I never wanted to fall in love,
I was resistant to falling in love
Just for my own protection, (protection)
I believed that avoiding love was a form of self-protection
I wouldn't let my heart accept it, (accept it)
I was guarding my heart and not allowing myself to open up
But when he touched me, I got infected,
However, when I met you and experienced your touch, I became infected by love
(infected, infected)
I made a promise to never fall,

I am content to simply watch you sleep and be close to you
Never thought that this would be me,
I never thought that I would be so deeply in love
My hearts been invaded,
My heart has been taken over by love
And now I'm in your control,
I am powerless to control the love that I feel for you
And when you hold tight,
When you hold me tight, I feel safe and secure
It just feels so right,
Being with you just feels right and natural
And I get butterflies,
You still give me butterflies in my stomach
When I meet your eyes,
Looking into your eyes is a powerful and emotional experience
Tell me how did you get by,
I am amazed that you were able to get past my barriers and touch my heart
When I let no one inside,
I had been closed off to love before meeting you
And it caught me by surprise,
I was surprised and unprepared for the depth of emotion that I feel for you
When you came and infected me
You came into my life and infected me with love
The symptoms are,
The signs of being infected by love are
Your body starts to weaken,
I feel myself becoming physically weaker when I am not with you
The side effects are,
Additional effects of being infected by love are
You may fall way too deep in,
I have fallen deeply in love with you and am unable to pull away
Then you'll deny that,
I have tried to deny the love that I feel for you
What your feelin' is that feelin',
But what I'm feeling is truly love
You'll try to fight it,
I have tried to resist my feelings for you
But your gonna have to give in,
But eventually, I had to give in and embrace the love that I feel for you
Whatever you had, (had)
I had thought that I was immune to love
You gave it to me, (me)
But you infected me with love and changed my perspective
Like the one's who believe,
Now I too believe in love
Now I should be quarantined,
I am completely consumed by love and feel like I should be isolated
I was fine bein' blind,
Before meeting you, I was content living without love and was unaware of what I was missing
But you made me see,
But now I see that love is real and worth pursuing
{just for my own protection}
{I wouldn't let my heart accept it}
{whooo-oooh ooh}
{I made a promise to never fall in love ahh-ooh-haa}
{it won't let me, it won't let me, ahh}
I'm infected by, I'm infected by,
I am completely consumed by love
Love...
