Heat
Gaby Dershin Steven Lee Asia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in eighty two
The disco hot spots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings

'Cause it's the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment, the heat of the moment
Shone in your eyes

And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

It was the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment, heat of the moment
Shone in your eyes

Heat of the moment, heat of the moment




Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Heat of the Moment' by Gaby Dershin Steven Lee are about the intense emotions of youth and the mistakes that one makes in the moment. The artist starts with an apology to someone for being bad to them, and vows to never repeat what was done. However, one look from this person is enough to make them fall from grace, and their smile is wiped from their face. The artist then reminisces about the times they shared with this person when they were young and foolish. They danced, they sang songs unsung and enjoyed moments of passion. The heat of the moment made them act in ways that they now regret.


The song then transitions to the present, where this person finds themselves in their 80s, with the disco hotspots holding no charm for them anymore. They are too busy chasing bigger things and reminiscing about teenage ambitions. The chorus comes back to remind the person about the heat of the moment, how it told them what their heart meant and how it shone in their eyes. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase, "heat of the moment".


Overall, the lyrics of the song remind us of how we all have made mistakes in the past as a result of being young and passionate. The heat of the moment can make us do things we may regret later in life, and we must learn to forgive ourselves and move on.


Line by Line Meaning

I never meant to be so bad to you
I did not intend to hurt you so much


One thing I said that I would never do
There was something I promised I would never do, but I did it


A look from you and I would fall from grace
Your disapproving look could make me feel ashamed and guilty


And that would wipe this smile right from my face
I would stop feeling happy if you were unhappy with me


Do you remember when we used to dance
Do you recall the days we used to dance together?


And incidence arose from circumstance
Something happened due to chance or fate


One thing lead to another we were young
We took one step which led to another as we were young and ambitious


And we would scream together songs unsung
We used to sing loudly, expressing ourselves freely to the unsung songs


It was the heat of the moment
At that moment, we were carried away by our emotions


Telling me what your heart meant
We were honest with each other, letting our hearts speak


The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
I could see how much it meant to you through the passion in your eyes


And now you find yourself in eighty two
Now you are older and more experienced, in the year 1982


The disco hot spots hold no charm for you
You no longer find joy in the popular disco spots


You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You have more important things to worry about


You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings
You achieved something amazing and are now enjoying it to the fullest


'Cause it's the heat of the moment
Because emotions can sometimes override reason


Shone in your eyes
I could tell what you were feeling by looking into your eyes


And when your looks are gone and you're alone
When your appearance fades, and you find yourself without company


How many nights you sit beside the phone
How often do you spend your nights waiting by the phone?


What were the things you wanted for yourself
What were your dreams and desires for yourself?


Teenage ambition you remember well
You still remember the ambitions you had as a teenager


The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
You were passionate and sincere about your dreams when you were young


It was the heat of the moment
At that moment, we were carried away by our emotions


The heat of the moment, heat of the moment
The heat of the moment, the intensity of the emotions


Heat of the moment
The passion and intensity of the experience
