FEVER
Sota F. feat. Carol Gadsden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than they love Jesus maybe
‘Cause Jesus loves everyone
But my love is made for one
So put away the bible and read
Read a little book about me
And maybe I’ll ready your lips tonight
one,
two,
three
You drive me nuts
You give me kicks
I don’t want drugs
I want your kiss
You drive me nuts
You give me fever
Woorden schieten vaak tekort
Zoals dat hoort, zoals dat gaat,
maakt niet uit zolang je met me praat
Ik bewandel de straat
met vlinders in mijn maag
Mensen vinden me vaag
maar dat is maar net de vraag
Ik vind het bovennatuurlijk
het effect dat je hebt op mijn buren
Professionele telelenscamera’s
spiegelreflex
infrarood op die billen bloot
Maar ze doen het voor de plaatjes
Ik doe het voor de intieme praatjes
Voor de vragen en weetjes
Voor de versleten maandagen en dineetjes
Voor elke toon die je haalt
Onder de stikhete benauwende dekens
Als een pauw voor mijn vrouw
en dat weet ze
Je bent de vrouw van wie ik hou
en dat weet je
You drive me nuts
You give me kicks
I don’t want drugs
I want your kiss
You drive me nuts
You give me fever
I got you on my mind
‘Cuz baby your so fine
With one look at your… ass
Oh baby I die three times
You drive me nuts
You give me kicks
I don’t want drugs
I want your kiss
You drive me nuts
You give me fever
The lyrics of Sota F. feat. Carol Gadsden's song Fever display an intense passion for a significant other at the expense of all else, even religion. The opening lines reveal that the singer's love for their partner surpasses their love for Jesus, a figure widely viewed as the epitome of love and sacrifice. However, the persona stakes claim that their love is made for only one and exclaims that their partner gives them fever, conveying the intense passion they feel.
The next lines use sensual imagery, with the suggestion that the persona's love interest has the power to drive them wild with desire akin to a drug, instead of them resorting to actual drug consumption. The third verse shifts to the Dutch language while still continuing with expressive language about the emotions of love; the singer confesses to feeling odd and socially ostracized when in love, but these feelings do not matter as long as their significant other is present.
The lyrics end by restating how the partner gives the persona fever, indicating that the emotions that come from being in love with someone literally makes them feel unwell or hot.
