RED
Lumïsade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got me hooked on you
I'm paralyzed by the way you move
You put on quite a show
You get me high with a single touch
I feel alive with the way you love

You've got me hooked on you
Stuck in a game for two
I'm paralyzed by the way you move
In paradise with the things we do

You put on quite a show
Left me in vertigo
You get me high with a single touch
I feel alive with the way you love

Lights turn red
I'm on a wrong side of the bed
You got me feeling so completed, I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it

Out of my head, you got me upside down again
Oh, I'm still feeling so completed
I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it

You know that I need it

You've got me hooked on you
Stuck in a game for two
I'm paralyzed by the way you move
In paradise with the things we do

You put on quite a show
Left me in vertigo
You get me high with a single touch
I feel alive with the way you love

Lights turn red
I'm on a wrong side of the bed
You got me feeling so completed, I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it

Out of my head, you got me upside down again
Oh, I'm still feeling so completed




I'm defeated
I still need it, you know that I need it

They used to make so many of these tunes/songs back in the early 2000's. It was heaven.
So good to hear this sound again.

I’m obsessed with this song. Great beat, love the breaks, so powerful and sexy. One the best songs I’ve heard in a while. Hypnotic.

@TranceSound

Great track indeed! It well reminds me of those good times when Progressive Trance was mixed with Breaks and then merged with an angelic female voice and transformed into a great track such as this! Well done!

@rick_terscale1111

Yes!! It reminds me of that early 2000's sound. Love it!! So good to hear.
