Gimme Love
Opus Lyrics

A few years ago at the first us - show
The song's protagonist is reflecting on a moment from their past, specifically their first US show.

I was sittin' on a chair in the dressing room there
The singer was seated in the dressing room ahead of their performance.

My heartbeat was up
Nerves were getting to the singer, causing their heart rate to quicken.

And my spirit was down
Despite the excitement of the show, the artist's mood was low, possibly due to anxiety.

Just close to a nervous breakdown
The artist was on the brink of a mental breakdown due to the stress and nerves surrounding the show.

They called us to come
The time had come for the band to go on stage.

And we went upstairs
The band went upstairs to the performance area.

I tried to blow my weakness up in the air
The artist attempted to dispel their sense of weakness and nervousness.

I stood on the boars as if I stood on a shelf
Once onstage, the artist felt elevated and empowered, like they were standing on a shelf.

I shivered and thought by myself
Regardless of their newfound confidence, the artist remained anxious and introspective.

Gimme love, gimme love
This chorus line repeats throughout the song, with the singer essentially calling out for love or support from either the audience or a specific person.

When I played the first chords
Once the band started playing the music, the artist's focus shifted away from their anxiety and towards the performance itself.

The frightening was gone
As the performance got underway, the singer's sense of fear or apprehension began to dissipate.

Everything sounded beautiful
Once the music began, it sounded lovely to the singer's ears.

It was turning me on
The music and performance were so exciting, they were having a physical response to it.

The music around me, the audience down
The artist was deeply engaged in the music, yet also aware and connecting with the crowd watching them.

It turn the things upside - down
The experience of performing was transformative for the artist, changing their perspective in powerful ways.

The longer it lasted
As the performance continued, the singer's comfort or enjoyment levels grew even stronger.

The more I enjoyed it
The longer the performance went on, the more fun the singer was having.

I was slipping away
Once lost in the music, the artist felt like they were slipping away from reality itself.

And my fears were destroyed
The anxiety and fear the artist had been experiencing earlier were now gone, eradicated by the thrill of playing the music.

The better I played
As the artist relaxed and enjoyed the performance more, they played more skillfully.

Carried away by your aid
It's unclear whether 'your' refers to the audience or someone else specific, but the singer felt carried away in the experience by someone's aid or love and support.

Bababa baba, bababa baba, bababa baba
This is another instance of the chorus repeating.

I remember that night when it happens again
In present day, the singer is reminiscing about the experience of that first US show.

When the tag fire is comin'and it's never in vain
There is some sort of crisis or turmoil happening (perhaps metaphorical or emotional) that the singer is facing.

More and more I'm gettin' used to that foreplay
Whatever this crisis or challenge is, the singer is getting more accustomed to it over time.

And beg for your help when I say
No matter the situation, the artist is still in a position of seeking help or support from someone else ('you').
