Overpowered

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm overpowered
Your date on my data
The chromosomes match
Exact as in matter
A matter of fact
These amorant feelings
Need the love object
To reciprocate
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
As science struggles onto trial to explain
Oxyoxin's flowing ever into my brain
As science struggles onto trial to explain
Oxytoxin's flowing ever into my brain
A chemical reason
If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain
With preprogrammed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
As science struggles onto trial to explain
Oxyoxin's flowing ever into my brain
As science struggles onto trial to explain
Oxytoxin's flowing ever into my brain
I'm overpowered
The lyrics of "Overpowered" by Róisín Murphy are an insightful exploration of the scientific and emotional aspects of love. The song starts with the singer stating that she thinks she is over her past lover, but then she realizes that she is still overpowered by her emotions. The second verse delves deeper into the scientific explanation behind this emotion, as the singer explains that the love she feels is not just psychological but physical too.
The reference to "date on my data," indicates that even though the singer may think she's moved on, her memories and feelings are still connected to her ex-lover. The next lines mention "chromosomes match," which refers to the biological aspect of love. The reference to oxytocin, a hormone our bodies produce when we're in love, adds an interesting dimension to the song's exploration of love. The singer goes on to explain that the chemical reactions in the brain are what cause these powerful emotions, but we still have to accept them.
In essence, the song is about the complexities of love, particularly the difficulty that comes with moving on after a relationship ends. The reference to oxytocin's flow in the brain gives the listener insight into the chemical processes that happen simultaneously. Finally, the song concludes with the singer acknowledging that she's overpowered, suggesting that love will continue to be a force she cannot resist.
