Drums Talk
Maude Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speaker, tu es l'instrument de mes humeurs
Je me suffis de l'air que tu m'inspires
Je serai la clé de ton empire

En solo
Tu prends le lead
Crescendo
Tes yeux m'invitent

Ne t'arrête pas
N'essaie pas de t'enfuir

I love it when the drums talk
I love it when the bass just hugs me
I love it when you take it off
I love it when you play that thing
I love it when the high hat hits me
I love it when you make me scream
I love it when the drums talk
I love it when you drop that beat
Drop that beat
I love it when you drop that beat
Drop that beat
I love it when you drop that beat

Speaker, tu es la cible dans mon viseur
J'ai déjà tout orchéstré
Même le pire
Je mesure tout le temps d'un soupir

En solo
Tu prends le lead
Crescendo
Tes yeux m'invitent
Ne t'arrête pas
N'essaie pas de t'enfuir

I love it when the drums talk
I love it when the bass just hugs me
I love it when you take it off
I love it when you play that thing
I love it when the high hat hits me
I love it when you make me scream
I love it when the drums talk
I love it when you drop that beat
Drop that beat
I love it when you drop that beat
Drop that beat
I love it when you drop that beat

Viens à moi 1 fois
Viens à moi 2 fois
Jamais 2 sans toi
1,2,3
En solo
Tu prends le lead
Crescendo
Tes yeux m'invitent
Ne t'arrête pas
N'essaie pas de t'enfuir

I love it when you drop that beat, drop that beat x4
I love it when you drop that beat
