Overall Meaning

The song "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minogue is a seductive pop classic that explores the idea of a consuming love. The opening hook "la, la, la, la, la" becomes a dizzying mantra, invoking the feeling of a persistent thought or feeling the singer can't shake. The lyrics convey the idea that the singer can't stop thinking about her lover, and that his presence has taken over her mind and heart completely. The lines "Boy, your lovin' is all I think about / It's more than I dare to think about" express the intensity of the infatuation.


The chorus is a declaration of the singer's desire to be with her lover all the time, both day and night, and to be held in his arms. The repetition of "stay forever and ever" expresses a sense of urgency and longing, as if the singer fears that her lover will leave her. The bridge of the song changes the tone slightly, with the introduction of a hint of darkness in the lines, "There's a dark secret in me / Don't leave me lost in your arms." This suggests that the singer is aware of some potential harm or danger in the relationship but feels unable to resist her lover's hold on her.


Overall, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is a highly effective pop song that communicates the power of a consuming love with infectious hooks and memorable lyrics.
