The members of NLT aren't pretending to be anything they're not. They love pop music, have been born and bred on pop music, and have manicured their pop music to a brilliant, effervescent sheen on their self-titled debut, Not Like Them.
While the quartet's hometown roots are split between Los Angeles and Texas, it was their similar artistic drive that led them to each other. Growing up in his family's Synthesis dance studio in Los Angeles, V was never far from the names that have shaped popular culture's last decade, including 50 Cent, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Destiny's Child. Chris Stokes was a familiar face in the studio, as it was a home-base of sorts for B2K, and after much pestering, the superstar producer told V that if he put a group together, he'd be willing to take a listen. V was 14 at the time, and not knowing where to really start, looked to an acquaintance he'd worked with on an instructional dance video—JJ, whose dance coach, Terry Bixler, skyrocketed to acclaim for his choreography and staging on Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation 1814" tour extravaganza..
Then 13, JJ ironically had B2K on his young resume, having danced in one of the group's early videos (on the acting front, he'd also had a speaking part on television's "Will & Grace"). Through an agent, the pair found Kevin, who was living in Dallas. His sister was an agent, and when Kevin mentioned that the trio were looking to become a quartet, she recommended one of her theater actors, Travis. In what could be a called a fateful string of serendipity, the NLT circle was now complete.
NLT's Travis Garland, posted a Myspace blog confirming their split. You can read it at nltonline.org.
Heart Attack
NLT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Situation stinks and it's all because of you
What am I to do, can't stomach no food?
I don't know what to do and it's all because of you
Don't know what's wrong with me, how's this happening?
Baby, can't you see that it's all because of you?
Feel like I'm 'bout to die, don't even know why
I got this feeling beating through my heart
And it won't go away, girl
A constant pain making in my chest
I could collapse at any minute, mummy
Doctor, won't you please prescribe me something
Strong enough to take this pain away?
It's because of you I'm feeling this way
You give me symptoms of a heart attack, girl
Baby, you're giving me, you're giving me a heart attack
Baby, you're giving me, you're giving me a heart attack
Girl, I'm suffering and I'm struggling
Can't stop coughing and it's all because of you
I can barely stand, my body's on high demand for your medicine
And it's all because of you
Got to heal myself but I need your help
You and no one else, baby, tell me what to do
I'm in so much pain, can't use my brain
Got me going insane
I got this feeling beating through my heart
And it won't go away, girl
A constant pain making in my chest
I could collapse at any minute, mummy
Doctor, won't you please prescribe me something
Strong enough to take this pain away?
It's because of you I'm feeling this way
You give me symptoms of a heart attack, girl
Baby, you're giving me, hey, you're giving me a heart attack
Baby, you're giving me, hey, heart attack
Baby, you're giving me, you're giving me a heart attack
Baby, you're giving me, you're giving me a heart attack
I got this feeling beating through my heart
And it won't go away, girl
A constant pain making in my chest
I could collapse at any minute, mummy
Doctor, won't you please prescribe me something
Strong enough to take this pain away?
It's because of you I'm feeling this way
You give me symptoms of a heart attack, girl
You're giving me a heart attack
Ho, heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
The song "Heart Attack" by NLT is about a person who is experiencing physical and emotional pain because of their love for someone. The lyrics describe the feeling of a heart attack, but it is not necessarily a literal heart attack. The person is so emotionally invested in their love that they feel like they are physically dying. The lyrics mention how the person cannot walk, think clearly, and even eat because of the pain caused by their love.
The song is a desperate plea to the person who is causing the pain to help the singer heal. They want the person to provide them with medicine to cure the pain that they feel. The song expresses the kind of overwhelming love that can cause a person to lose control of their emotions and become physically and mentally unwell. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak or a powerful love that they cannot shake off.
Overall, while "Heart Attack" may be perceived as a dramatic love song, the lyrics present the emotional and physical pain that can occur due to intense and one-sided love. It reflects on how the feeling of love can go beyond emotional attachments and manifest itself physically by causing unbearable pain.
