The Thrill Is Gone
Godzik Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I saw you this morning, baby, tell me why did you walk away
Can't believe that you don't love me, thought our love was here to stay
Now buzz me, baby, I'll be waiting for your call
Buzz me, buzz me, buzz me, buzz me, baby, I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number, come on over, you won't have to call at all
When I say I'm yours forever, every word I say is true
Buzz me, baby, I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number, come on over, you won't have to call at all
The lyrics of Godzik Pink's song The Thrill is Gone describe the feeling of betrayal, confusion, and desperation experienced by someone who has been left by a loved one. The singer asks why their partner walked away and expresses disbelief that their love was not strong enough to withstand the test of time. The chorus then introduces the idea of communication as a means to reconnect, even offering the option of the partner coming over in person if they have forgotten the phone number. The singer affirms their loyalty and love, declaring that they have never lied to anyone and will always be true to their partner.
The repetition of "buzz me, baby" in the chorus is a reference to the act of calling someone on the telephone, which was a more prevalent means of communication at the time the song was written. However, the song's theme of longing for connection is still relatable today, with contemporary listeners substituting text messages or social media posts for phone calls. Additionally, the mention of forgetting the phone number could be seen as a commentary on how technology has made it easier to stay connected yet also made it easier to lose track of important information.
