Adrenaline
Gavin Rossdale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much is not enough
Nobody said this stuff makes any sense
We're hooked again
Point of no return
See how the buildings burn
Light up the night
Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
(You don't feel the pain)
Sail through an empty night
It's only you and I who understand
There is no plan
Get closer to the thrill
Only time can kill what's in your eyes
Is so alive
Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
Run through the speed of sound
Every thing slows you down
And all colors that surround you
Are bleeding to the walls
All the things you really need
Just wait to find the speed
Then you will achieve
Escape velocity
Too much is not enough
Nobody gave it up
I'm not the kind
To lay down and die
Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
Adrenaline
Screaming out your name
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
(Adrenaline)
Oh, you don't even feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
'Cause I'm going to extremes
There is nothing in between
Where I want to be
You don't even feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
I'm going to extremes
And I'm going to extremes
There's nothing in between
There's nothing in between
And I'm going to extremes
And I'm going to extremes
There's nothing in between
You don't even feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
Going to extremes (You don't even feel the pain)
In Gavin Rossdale's "Adrenaline," the singer describes the sensation of being so caught up in the thrill of the moment that they no longer feel any pain. The lyrics suggest that the adrenaline rush is both a temporary escape and a necessity, as it keeps the singer "in the game" and able to handle whatever comes their way. The imagery of burning buildings and bleeding colors underscores the intensity of the experience, and the repetition of the phrase "you don't even feel the pain" drives home the idea that the singer is willing to take risks and push themselves beyond their limits because the reward is worth the pain.
The song's chorus references the power of adrenaline to take one to new heights and achieve great things - "wilder than your wildest dreams" - though it acknowledges that this comes at a cost. The line "there is no plan" suggests that the singer is living in the moment, unbound by any constraints or expectations, but the line "only time can kill" implies that this kind of thrill-seeking lifestyle can't last forever.

It's a new year, boys! That means it's a new opportunity for all of us! I believe in you all. Thank you for the support.

I always think of my grandfather when I listen to this song. It took months for the grief of his death to hit me, but it did when I heard this song and started thinking about him. He survived WWII and Korea and fought heart disease for ten long, hard years. In the end, his body slowly shut down on him and he was bedridden. It also makes me think of how much my grandmother loved him because she was there for him every day until the end. He died in his sleep in December of 2007 and I think I had my breakdown in February of 2008.
Thanks for everything, Grandpa.
