Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Information Society's song "I Love It When..." seem to describe an urban nightlife scene of a large city where the singer finds pleasure and excitement with a lover. The opening line "Here are the thrill-seekers. Corrupt and immoral" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, implying that the encounters are perhaps not entirely healthy or desirable, but still seductive and captivating. The descriptions of different areas in large cities, such as Downtown, Ginza, Zona Rosa, and Ipanema, suggest a sense of familiarity with cosmopolitan locations and indulgent lifestyles.


The lyrics also mention various sensual and sometimes dangerous elements that could be associated with nightlife, such as pierced lips, bruised hips, guest lists, red rope, smoke, girl fights, sharp knives, and dirt floors. The repeated refrain of "Ahh, I love it when you're with me" suggests that the singer's experience of these sensual elements is enhanced by the presence of a lover, although the question "Why does it hurt so much?" towards the end of the song injects a note of ambiguity into the interpretation.


Overall, the lyrics of "I Love It When..." seem to suggest an ambivalent attitude towards a certain kind of urban hedonism that mixes pleasure and danger. The singer seems to be aware of the risks involved in such an experience, but still finds it irresistible and thrilling.
