In My Arms
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've only ever dreamt of this
Oh
DJ's spinning up my favorite song
Hurry up and get a groove on
Light fantastic and it won't be long
Don't let the moment slip away
'Cause you and I could find a pleasure
No one else has ever known
Feels like it is now or never, don't want to be alone
How does it feel in my arms?
How does it feel in my arms?
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me
How does it feel in my arms?
Got a feeling this is something strong
All I wanna do is move on
No more wondering where I belong
So never go away
'Cause you and I are guilty pleasure
No one else has ever known
Feels like it is now or never, don't want to be alone
How does it feel in my arms? (How does it feel in my arms?)
How does it feel in my arms?
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me
How does it feel in my arms?
I'm listening
How does it feel in my arms? (How does it feel in my arms?)
How does it feel in my arms? Yeah, yeah
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me
How does it feel in my arms?
The lyrics of Kylie Minogue's "In My Arms" celebrate a pleasure that goes beyond any rational explanation or cultural norm. The song describes the feeling of being in close proximity with someone else, especially in a nightclub setting, where the DJ is playing the perfect song and the lights are creating a magical atmosphere. The persona sings about feeling the warmth of another person's body, the intertwined rhythms of their beats, and the unspoken intention of immersing themselves in the moment fully. The lyrics suggest that there is nothing more significant in that moment besides the two people sharing the same space and experiencing their unique connection.
The refrain "How does it feel in my arms?" echoes the persona's wonderment as she hangs on to this moment of ecstasy, and the repetition of "Do you want it? Do you need it? Can you feel it?" underscores the urgency to seize the opportunity fully. This song is about living in the moment and enjoying the present's pleasure without worrying about tomorrow's consequences.

We need more Kylie Minogue and less... today's crap music
@leeriches8841
True. Though her recent music leaves a lot to be desired. Her last tour wasn't that great really.
@adamchase5610
Yes please more Kylie 👍👍
@bradbradlylife9918
lee riches everyone tell her to work with Empire of the Sun!! Or even Pnau would make more sense. Even a song or so would be so freakin awesome
@fanspans7851
COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER, I WISH MORE PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT!
@bp6329
i'm glad no one else says it
@bai
Don't care if you miss the old times, the best thing is to have the chance to live them again with these songs. Yay!
@krm3345
But it's not the same, something passed away with time
