Motorhead
Motörhead Lyrics

Sunrise, wrong side of another day,
It's early in the morning, but the singer feels like they're starting the day off on the wrong foot.

Sky high and six thousand miles away,
The singer feels like they're in another world, possibly due to sleep deprivation or drug use.

Don't know how long I've been awake,
The singer has been awake for so long that they've lost track of time.

Wound up in an amazing state,
Despite their sleep deprivation, the artist is feeling good and energetic.

Can't get enough,
The artist is addicted to their current state of mind and doesn't want it to end.

And you know it's righteous stuff,
The singer believes that their current state is not only good, but morally right.

Goes up like prices at Christmas,
The singer's high is getting stronger, like the prices of Christmas gifts tend to do.

Motorhead, you can call me Motorhead, alright
The artist identifies with the band Motörhead and wants to be called by that name.

Brain dead, total amnesia,
The artist feels like their mind is almost completely disconnected from reality.

Get some mental anesthesia,
The artist wants to numb their mind even further, possibly through drug use.

Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
The singer wants to be alone and doesn't want anyone to disturb them.

And if I can't be wrong I could be right,
The artist is so detached from reality that they no longer know what's right or wrong.

All good clean fun,
Despite the potentially dangerous behavior, the singer sees what they're doing as harmless.

Have another stick of gum,
The singer is trying to improve their breath after what is likely excessive drug use.

Man, you look better already,
The singer may be talking to themselves or someone else, but either way, they believe that popping a piece of gum has made them look better.

Motorhead, remember me now Motorhead, alright
The artist reminds themselves (or someone else) to remember that they are Motörhead and want to be called as such.

Fourth day, five day marathon,
The artist has been living in this state of mind for several days in a row.

We're moving like a parallelogram,
The singer and whoever is with them are moving erratically and not in a straight line, like a parallelogram.

Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
The singer repeats this line again, still wanting to be alone and undisturbed.

I guess I'll see you all on the ice,
The artist may be referring to a skating rink, suggesting that they'll see everyone when they've 'chilled out' on the ice.

I should be tired,
The artist recognizes that their body should be tired, but it's not because of the drugs or sleep deprivation.

And all I am is wired,
The artist is full of energy or 'wired' as a result of their current state.

Ain't felt this good for an hour,
The singer hasn't felt this good in a while, implying that it's been a long time since they last experienced a high like this.

Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead alright
The artist repeats this line again, reminding themselves (or someone else) to remember that they are Motörhead and want to be called as such.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead
The singer repeats the name again, further reinforcing their identity as Motörhead.

There's only you now, Motorhead, only you, babe, yeah, yeah
The singer suggests that there is no one else in the world as cool or fun as they are when they're in this state (as Motörhead).
