Lust
Overdrive Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well there you go; well here I am
I know you; you know me
Isn't it obvious? Or can't you see?
That I am falling for you
Yes I'm in lust it's so true
And with every step I have to take
What do I have to do?
To get with you
Well I've known girls, like you before
You think I'd learn, but I still want more
I think of you everyday
But how am I to know if you feel the same?
Cause I am falling for you
Yes I'm in lust it's so true
And with every step I have to take
And every move I try to make
What do I have to do?
In these ever-changing days, you're the one thing that remains
And I've known you all along
So will I ever get with you? Cause you know that I'll stay true
Cause you've known me all along
Cause I am falling for you
Yes I'm in lust it's so true
And with every step I have to take
And every move I try to make
What do I have to do?
To get with you
Get with you
Get with you
Get with you
The lyrics to "Lust" by Overdrive Orchestra convey the singer's infatuation with someone they've known for a while. The opening lines establish the contrast between the two individuals: "There you are; there you stand / Well there you go; well here I am." The singer then acknowledges that they both know each other, yet their feelings are not reciprocated or acknowledged: "Isn't it obvious? Or can't you see?" Despite this, the singer admits to falling in lust with the other person, struggling to make moves towards them, and wondering what else they need to do to have a chance with them.
The repeated chorus of "Cause I am falling for you / Yes I'm in lust it's so true / And with every step I have to take / And every move I try to make / What do I have to do? / To get with you" underscores the desperation and anxiety of the singer's situation. The bridge offers a glimpse of hope, suggesting that the person has been a constant presence in the singer's life during uncertain times, but it's still uncertain if anything will come of their feelings.
Overall, "Lust" captures the universal experience of pining after someone and not knowing if they feel the same way. The lyrics are straightforward but relatable, and the rock-infused sound of Overdrive Orchestra complements the intensity and urgency of the singer's emotions.
