Adrenaline
Rossdale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't feel the pain

Too much is not enough
Nobody said this stuff makes any sense
We're hooked again
Point of no return
See how the buildings burn
Light up the night
Such pretty sight

Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline

(You don't feel the pain)

Sail through an empty night
It's only you and I who understand
There is no plan
Get closer to the thrill
Only time can kill what's in your eyes
Is so alive

Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline

Run through the speed of sound
Every thing slows you down
And all colors that surround you
Are bleeding to the walls
All the things you really need
Just wait to find the speed
Then you will achieve
Escape velocity

Too much is not enough
Nobody gave it up
I'm not the kind
To lay down and die

Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline

Adrenaline
Screaming out your name
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline

(Adrenaline)
Oh, you don't even feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
'Cause I'm going to extremes
There is nothing in between
Where I want to be
You don't even feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
I'm going to extremes
And I'm going to extremes
There's nothing in between
There's nothing in between
And I'm going to extremes
And I'm going to extremes
There's nothing in between
You don't even feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain




You don't even feel the pain
Going to extremes (You don't even feel the pain)

I always think of my grandfather when I listen to this song. It took months for the grief of his death to hit me, but it did when I heard this song and started thinking about him. He survived WWII and Korea and fought heart disease for ten long, hard years. In the end, his body slowly shut down on him and he was bedridden. It also makes me think of how much my grandmother loved him because she was there for him every day until the end. He died in his sleep in December of 2007 and I think I had my breakdown in February of 2008.

Thanks for everything, Grandpa.
