Adrenaline
Simple Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You act like it never happened
Dynamite and whiplash
Kill me with your favorite weapon
So happy anniversary
Now point the finger back at me
Brokenhearted surgery
You don't know what you do to me, do to me, do to me
But I can feel you all the way from my coffin in LA
When I'm six feet underneath my misery
Come on hit me with adrenaline
Come on hit me with adrenaline
Come on hit me could you hit me
When I'm six feet underneath my misery
Come and hit me with adrenaline
Biting on a cigarette
Ditch me like a dirty habit
Run your mouth and lose your head
You're so idiosyncratic
But you're no Marie Antoinette
So save it for the Internet
I think we're failing to connect
You don't know what you do to me, do to me, do to me
But I can feel you all the way from my coffin in LA
When I'm six feet underneath my misery
Come on hit me with adrenaline
Come on hit me with adrenaline
Come on hit me could you hit me
When I'm six feet underneath my misery
Come and hit me with adrenaline
But I can feel you all the way from my coffin in LA
When I'm six feet underneath my misery
Come on hit me with adrenaline
Come on hit me with adrenaline
Come on hit me could you hit me
When I'm six feet underneath my misery
Come and hit me with adrenaline
Come on hit me with adrenaline
Hit me with adrenaline
The lyrics to Simple Creatures’s “Adrenaline” seem to be describing a toxic relationship that has ended in heartbreak and pain. The first verse talks about hearing the other person’s voice in flashbacks, indicating that the relationship was once intense and memorable. However, the other person now acts like it never happened, leaving the singer feeling brokenhearted and needing surgery to fix the damage done. The chorus talks about the singer feeling the other person’s impact even when they are six feet under the ground, which may indicate that the relationship had a profound effect on them. The chorus also repeatedly asks the other person to hit them with adrenaline, which likely means something that excites or stimulates them, but also may imply that the pain is preferable to feeling nothing at all.
The second verse describes the other person as someone who “bites on a cigarette,” indicating that they may be reckless and destructive. They are also described as “idiosyncratic,” which implies that they are unique but not necessarily in a positive way. The verse ends with the singer saying that they feel like they are failing to connect with the other person, indicating that the relationship may have been superficial or lacking in emotional depth. Overall, the lyrics of “Adrenaline” paint a picture of a relationship that was intense and potentially dangerous, but ultimately left the singer feeling broken and searching for something to give them meaning.
