Undercover
Nightmare and the Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You walked into the room, your eyes like two full moons
You smiled discretely, stole me completely
You lit a cigarette, I asked if you would share
So entranced was I, the devil danced in my heart

I knew you came with him but I just didn't care
You smiled and asked if I could keep a secret
You whispered in my ear, "Take me away from here"
Your words possessed me, you left a ghost in my heart

Well you took me by surprise when you said "Baby it's alright…"

I've got a car if you wanna drive, take you all the way to the coastline
No one knows about you and I so let's keep this love undercover
Oh oh oh undercover

Dancing into the night, dodging the morning light
You put a spell on me, said it was meant to be
You got into my head, you are my favorite drug
Oh the taste left a hunger in my heart, in my heart

I've got a car if you wanna drive, take you all the way to the coastline
No one knows about you and I so let's keep this love undercover
Oh oh oh undercover
Oh oh oh undercover

This love was never made to last, tonight is happening so fast Did I give to guilty pleasure?
(Oh oh oh undercover
Oh oh oh undercover
Oh oh oh undercover
Oh oh oh undercover, hey!)

I've got a car if you wanna drive, take you all the way to the coastline
No one knows about you and I so let's keep this love undercover
I know a place if you wanna hide, we can stay awake until the sunrise
No one knows about you and I so let's keep this love undercover
Oh oh oh undercover
Oh oh oh undercover




Oh oh oh undercover
Oh oh oh undercover, hey!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Undercover" by Nightmare and the Cat tell a story of a forbidden love that is hidden from the world. The singer meets someone who they are not supposed to be with, as that person already has a partner. However, the intensity of their attraction is such that they forget everything else and decide to live in the moment. The singer is smitten by the person's beauty and charm and is drawn towards them, even though they know it's wrong. As the night progresses, the two dance the night away, forgetting about the world outside. The singer becomes almost addicted to this individual, and their touch becomes like a drug that they can't resist. The song ends with the realization that the affair was never supposed to last, causing the singer to wonder if it was just a guilty pleasure.
