Infected
M.O.B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It starts out with a simple kiss
But then it's coughs and sneezes
Some say it's rather hit or miss
But I don't know
I think you reap all that you sow

It happens dancing cheek to cheek
Then two weeks later I feel meek
Meanwhile the stats are at their peak
But no one cares
'Cause it's just politics and media scares

Infected, that's how you make me feel
Infected, this feeling is surreal
You're just not my kind of guy
You make everybody cry
In fact I wish you would just fucking die!
'Cause I won't be infected
That's right, you have been rejected
And though you've got nowhere else to go
I don't care, I'm saying no
I won't get infected

You grabbed my hand and held on tight
And even though I put up a fight
You followed me back home that night
But life is strange
Things were about to change

I didn't let you in this time
I washed my hands with bleach and lime
I wouldn't let you spoil my prime
I'm lashing out
This time I'm not messing about

Infected, that's how you make me feel
Infected, this feeling is surreal
You're just not my kind of guy
You make everybody cry
In fact I wish you would just fucking die!
'Cause I won't be infected
That's right, you have been rejected
And though you've got nowhere else to go
I don't care, I'm saying no
I won't get infected

At last, it seems that you have gone
Your memory goes on and on
But whatever outfit you next don
We'll know you then
We'll be ready for your next-gen

Infected, that's how you make me feel
Infected, this feeling is surreal
You're just not my kind of guy
You make everybody cry
In fact I wish you would just fucking die!
'Cause I won't be infected.
That's right, you have been rejected
And though you've got nowhere else to go




I don't care, I'm saying no
I won't get infected

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of M.O.B's song "Infected" portray a story of someone dealing with a toxic and harmful person in their life. It starts off with a simple kiss, symbolizing the beginning of a relationship or connection. However, soon it becomes clear that this person is causing more harm than good. The lines "But I don't know, I think you reap all that you sow" suggest that the person believes in the concept of karma, where negative actions lead to negative consequences.


The song then refers to the spread of infection, using imagery of coughs, sneezes, and dancing cheek to cheek. This can be seen metaphorically as the harmful person spreading their toxic behavior and impacting the singer's life negatively. While the stats may show the severity of the situation, the singer feels that people are indifferent, as they perceive it as mere politics and media scares. This line highlights the frustration of the singer towards the lack of concern society has for the harm caused by this individual.


The chorus emphasizes the impact that the toxic person has on the singer's emotions: feeling infected, surreal, and desiring their demise. The rejection towards this toxicity is reinforced with the line, "That's right, you have been rejected," showing the singer's firm stance to not allow themselves to be influenced or harmed any further. The final verses signify the departure of this person from the singer's life, with a touch of uncertainty about their next move. However, the singer pledges to be prepared for their return, ready to reject and protect themselves.


Overall, "Infected" conveys the theme of recognizing toxicity and choosing to distance oneself from its harmful effects. It explores the emotions of frustration, rejection, and determination to maintain personal boundaries.
