Doing It
R & B Chartstars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tempt me until I'm dead
Cupid take aim and miss me with precision
Succubus steal my soul
Leave my heart as hard as gold
Siren sing songs of lust and failed missions
It's no use chasing fortune and fame
When Cupid's armed to the teeth
Fire then take aim
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I know I'm never gonna get my fill
No
I'm just doing it for the thrill
It's decadent yes I know
But it's oh so rock and roll
'Til the heart-attacked man takes one too many lovers
Drifting in no-man's land
Trapped by those one night stands
Two quarters and a half down
Still crunching numbers
It's no use chasing fortune and fame
When Cupid's armed to the teeth
So I say ready, steady fire then take aim
Fire then take aim
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I know I'm never gonna get my fill
No
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I know I'm never gonna get my fill
No
No
I'm just doing
I'm just doing
I'm just doing it
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I'm just doing it for the thrill
I'm just doing it for the thrill
The lyrics to R&B Chartstars's song "Doing It" explore themes of obsession, temptation, and the pursuit of pleasure. The opening lines "Bury me 'cos I'm obsessed, tempt me until I'm dead" suggest a desire to fully immerse oneself in a captivating experience without any reservations or inhibitions. The reference to Cupid missing with precision implies a rejection of conventional love and a preference for more intense and unpredictable encounters. The mention of a succubus stealing the soul and leaving the heart hardened like gold signifies the destructive nature of these indulgences.
The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is driven by the thrill of these experiences, as they sing, "I'm just doing it for the thrill, I know I'm never gonna get my fill." There is an acknowledgment that this pursuit is decadent and perhaps even dangerous, but it is portrayed as part of a rock and roll lifestyle. The mention of a "heart-attacked man" taking one too many lovers suggests that there may be consequences to this lifestyle, such as heartbreak or emotional exhaustion.
Overall, the lyrics depict a person who is unapologetically chasing after thrill and pleasure, fully aware that it may be fleeting and even detrimental. It speaks to the desire to live life to the fullest, even if it means taking risks and facing the consequences.
