Stamina MC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Truly free in a way that we always knew it
I cant get enough, I cant get enough, I cant get enough, I cant get enough
I cant get enough, I cant get enough, I cant get enough, I cant get enough
You don't know what you mean to me,
I'm too proud to beg on my knees,
'Cause you got the thing I need.
I am caught between the cold and the fire,
I am caught between the chasm and the wire,
All we need is you, baby.
All we need is you there and we'll all get through it
Truly free in the way that we always knew it
All we need is you there and we'll all get through it
Truly free in the way that we always knew it
You got something inside worth giving,
Now look at the life I'm living,
I am hooked on your hypercaine feeling,
I can't put my finger on the vibe that's winning.
I am caught between the river and the ocean,
I am caught between the dark and deep emotion,
Its the only thing to keep me moving,
I can't tire, I'm on the wire.
Gotta keep moving on, gotta keep moving on, gotta keep moving on
Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on,
Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
You should know what you mean to me,
No I wont beg on my knees,
Can't live without you with me,
This town is dead, its time to break free
I guess we put it in the spotlight, oh yeah,
All we need is you, babe.
All we need is you there and we'll all get through it
Truly free in the way that we always knew it
All we need is you there and we'll all get through it
Truly free in the way that we always knew it
All we need is you there and we'll all get through it
Truly free in the way that we always knew it
All we need is you there and we'll all get through it
Truly free in the way that we always knew it
He got you in the hypercaine
The lyrics of Stamina MC's song Hypercaine speak to the overwhelming sense of longing and dependence on someone or something that we can't live without. The repeated lines "I can't get enough" and "all we need is you" showcase the desperation felt by the singer, who is caught between the "cold and the fire" and the "chasm and the wire." They feel stuck between opposing forces, unable to move forward without the presence of the person who holds the key to their hypercaine feeling.
The chorus, "All we need is you there and we'll all get through it, truly free in the way that we always knew it," suggests that the presence of this person is not only desired but also essential for the singer's sense of freedom and liberation. They long for the release and thrill that only this person, with their "something inside worth giving," can provide. The lyrics showcase the all-consuming nature of desire and the dependency we can feel on others, culminating in the final line where the singer exclaims, "He got you in the hypercaine."
