Agora
Mika Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swore I'd never fall in love again but I fell hard
Guess I should have seen it coming; caught me by surprise
I wasn't looking where I was going; I fell into your eyes
You came into my crazy world like a cool and cleansing grace
Before I, I knew what hit me baby, you were flowing through my veins
I'm addicted to you, hooked on your love
Like a powerful drug I can't get enough of
Outta control, what can I do?
I'm addicted to you!
When night blows in through the window; dances round the room
Got me hypnotized; I'm getting high on the perfume
I couldn't live without you now, oh, I know I'd go insane
I wouldn't last one night alone, baby
I couldn't stand the pain!
I'm addicted to you, hooked on your love
Like a powerful drug I can't get enough of
Lost in your eyes, drowning in blue
Outta control, what can I do?
I'm addicted to you!
The lyrics of Mika Mendes's song "Agora" express the overwhelming feeling of being addicted to someone's love. The singer admits that they had previously let their guard down and swore off falling in love again, but now they have fallen hard for someone unexpectedly. The metaphor of falling into someone's eyes suggests a sudden and total surrender to their charm.
The singer goes on to describe their addiction to this person, comparing it to a powerful drug that they can't get enough of. They feel lost and out of control when they are with this person, but they can't imagine living without them. The image of the night blowing in through the window and dancing around the room creates a sense of intoxication, and the singer admits that they would go insane without this feeling.
