Robbie Williams Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm.

Ooh-wah, ba, ba, ba, ba
Repetitive, ambiguous lyrics meant to evoke a feeling of pleasure or ecstasy.

I got this in my system
Robbie is describing the feeling of being overwhelmed with emotion, akin to being under the influence of a drug.

Takin' over
The emotion is becoming all-encompassing, perhaps even taking control of his actions and thoughts.

My imagination
The source of the emotion is likely a desire or fantasy fueled by his own imagination.

Getting wider
The emotional experience is becoming more intense, perhaps expanding beyond his control or understanding.

This elastication
A metaphorical description of the feeling of being stretched or pulled beyond one's limits.

Automatic
The experience is happening naturally, without any conscious effort on his part.

No self-preservation
Robbie is fully surrendering himself to this experience, without regard for any potential negative consequences.

Pull me into shape
Despite the lack of self-preservation, Robbie is looking for something or someone to provide structure or direction to this experience.

My testimony never fails
Robbie is confident in his abilities to perform and deliver in any situation.

Like a metronome, I'm on the nail
He is punctual and precise, always hitting the right notes or meeting expectations.

First thing in the morning
Robbie's testimony is consistent and reliable, not just when he's performing but in his everyday life.

Late at night
In every moment, Robbie is always ready to deliver his best.

Stretch me to the maximum
Robbie wants to be pushed to his limits and beyond, perhaps to see how far he can take the experience.

'Til I feel alright
The desired outcome is to feel good or satisfied, both physically and emotionally.

Push stronger
Robbie is urging his partner or collaborator to challenge him and bring their best effort to the table.

I need your elastic for tension
He needs the tension or opposition provided by his partner to fully experience the emotion or connection he desires.

Wait longer
He's willing to be patient and put in the effort required to get the most out of this experience.

I need to release your potential
Beyond his own desires and ambitions, Robbie also wants to see his partner reach their full potential and experience their own emotional release.

Since you put your hand in
The collaboration or partnership began at a specific moment, perhaps when Robbie first encountered his partner or idea.

In the pocket
He's found a groove or rhythm with his partner and is enjoying the collaboration and connection.

I've been rubberbandin'
Echoing the earlier metaphor, Robbie is being stretched and pulled in new directions by his partner and the collaboration.

I can't stop it
The experience is too powerful and enjoyable to resist or walk away from.

Stretch it to the distance
Robbie wants to see how far they can take this collaboration and how much more they can achieve.

Don't you get it?
He's questioning whether his partner fully understands the potential they have together.

Makin' no resistance
Robbie's partner is fully invested in the collaboration and is not holding back or resisting new ideas or directions.

Please don't let me go
The collaboration has become a source of comfort and pleasure for Robbie, and he doesn't want it to end.

It's your intervention
Robbie's partner has had a significant impact on his life or creative process.

So demanding
Collaboration and creativity can be challenging and require a lot of energy and effort, but it's worth it for the outcome.

Feel my surface tension
Robbie is physically and emotionally tense in this moment, responding to the pressure and intensity of the collaboration.

I'm expanding
He's growing and evolving as a person and artist, perhaps even beyond what he initially imagined.

Step into the same shape
Robbie and his partner have reached a place of synchronicity and are working perfectly in tandem.

Where I started
Despite the growth and expansion, Robbie is still connected to his roots and where he began as an artist or person.

For your fascination
Robbie is not only seeking his own satisfaction and growth, but also wants to captivate and engage his fans or audience.

Elasticate my soul
The song serves as a metaphorical call for Robbie and his partner to push each other to new levels of creativity and emotion.
