Baby Pain
Intaferon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ask what time it is
2: 22
You just say, "Oh"
I look around
Trying to find your heart
Please show me where to start
You just say, "No"
"I forgot"
Baby pain
Make my heart throb again
Heart throb with pain
Baby pain
You woke me up
Just to say goodbye
I try to ask you why
You fell asleep
6: 51
You woke me up again
You said, "This is the end
I'll just say when"
You said "Just friends"
"What now?"
You said "It depends"
Baby pain
Make my heart throb again
Heart throb with pain
Baby pain
Sense could only make you more strange
It′s so easy to change
Baby pain
Feel like I'm falling very fast through the air
I'm somewhere on the edge of nowhere
Oh, won′t you take me by the hand
And lead me astray
"What," you say
When I looked around
You′d slipped away
Baby pain
Make my heart throb again
Heart throb with pain
Baby pain
Sense could only make you more strange
It's so easy to change
Baby baby baby pain
Make my heart throb again
Heart throb with pain
Baby baby baby pain
The song Baby Pain by Intaferon is a heart-wrenching tale of unrequited love and heartbreak. The lyrics tell the story of someone trying to find their way into the heart of another person who seems hesitant or outright unwilling to let them in. The singer is looking for a starting point, but the other person keeps shutting them down with responses like "no" or "I forgot." The chorus of the song, "baby pain, make my heart throb again," speaks to the idea that even though the singer is experiencing heartbreak, they would rather feel something than nothing at all.
The second verse of the song describes a breakup, with the other person calling in the middle of the night to say goodbye. When the singer asks why, the other person simply falls asleep. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that even though the singer is in pain, they would rather feel something than nothing. The bridge of the song adds some imagery to the mix, with the singer feeling like they are falling through the air and asking the other person to take them by the hand.
Overall, the song is a raw and emotional look at the pain of unrequited love, heartbreak, and the desire to feel something even when that something is painful.

CFNY in Toronto played this song, and I was hooked. Has always stuck with me, I am in my 50's and still love it. Went down to a record store on queen st east and bough the 45, because there was no album.
@GKRuder
Thanks so much for this, I've been looking for this song for years! This made it onto a mix tape & Sony Walkman way back when I was an undergrad, and I haven't heard it in many years. Still sounds as good as I remember it. Thanks again!!!!
