Sweat
Michael Beaven and Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got the fever for you tonight
And I can't stop, no, I won't stop
How can I stop when nothing is enough?
I got this feeling in my bones
Something loving, God only knows
And I can't sleep, then I, I won't sleep
How can I sleep when nothing is enough?
So do it, what you waiting for?
Surely enough to go wrong
You got me yearning, like never before
And I don't want to lose out
You got to live and let it knock you out
I haven't learned so don't ask me what it's all about
I can't speak and I won't speak
How can I speak when nothing is enough?
There's still a cold, cold sweat, alright
There's still a fever for you tonight
And I can't stop, and I, I won't stop
How can I stop when nothing is enough?
So do it, what you waiting for?
Surely enough to go wrong
You got me yearning, like never before
And I don't want to lose out
Do it, what you waiting for?
Surely enough to go wrong
You got me yearning, like never before
And I don't want to lose out
The lyrics of Michael Beaven and Band's song "Sweat" convey a feeling of intense desire and passion. The singer describes their longing for someone with a sense of urgency, comparing it to a cold sweat and a fever. They express an inability to stop or sleep because nothing is enough to satisfy their craving.
The chorus emphasizes the need to take action and seize the opportunity without hesitation. The phrase "do it, what you waiting for?" encourages the listener to pursue their desires, despite the possibility of things going wrong. The singer admits to feeling a strong yearning like never before, indicating that this desire is profound and consuming.
In the following verse, the singer emphasizes their lack of understanding or knowledge about this overwhelming feeling. They mention not having learned or comprehending what it's all about. This suggests that the intensity of their desire transcends rational understanding and is purely instinctual. Despite this, the singer remains unable to communicate their feelings, reinforcing the idea that words cannot adequately express the depth of their longing.
The repetition of the chorus in the latter part of the song reaffirms the persistence of the cold sweat and fever-like longing. The refusal to stop or give up signifies the inescapable nature of this desire, suggesting that it is all-consuming and unyielding.
Ultimately, the lyrics of "Sweat" evoke a sense of passionate longing and a fear of missing out on the opportunity to fulfill one's desires. It conveys the idea that sometimes we are driven by instinctual desires that defy logic and understanding, urging us to take action and pursue what we truly yearn for.
