Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinkin' about it
It'll happen
I'll be glad
Tell myself
I can't live without it
Drives me crazy
Makes me mad
[Chorus:]
I feel the pressure start to rise.
You see it burning in my eyes.
Feel the pressure, on my mind
Feel the pressure, all the time...
Wake with evil
Thoughts my mind
Got to jump in
Cold shower
Need attention
Of the female kind
I'm completely
Under its power
[Chorus]
When you want to go away
I will follow you, just say
It's remarkable to me
That I'm blind and still I see
