Mainline
Syron; Tensnake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And now that you’re loving, you’re kissing
You’re hugging, you’re squeezing my body, baby
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

Higher and higher fly deep inside your love
I’m so addicted, I just can’t get enough
Hooked on a habit, of love I can’t escape
You’ve got your love potion flowing through my veins and darling
Don’t wanna stop cause you struck my mainline
Can’t stop this feeling, inside my brain
I just can’t stop, you’re working on the mainline of my love
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

Your love is lower, the price I had to pay
Cause once you’re loving me, everything get changed
The world seems brighter, now nothing seems the same
You sent your love to me ever since you came and darling
Don’t wanna stop cause you struck my mainline
Can’t stop this feeling, inside my brain
I just can’t stop, you’re working on the mainline of my love




Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Mainline" by Tensnake conveys the idea of being addicted to love and how one's world becomes brighter and joyful once they experience it. The opening lines describe the physical affection and intimacy the singer is receiving from their significant other. The chorus "Don't wanna stop cause you struck my mainline" implies that this love is akin to a habit, hard to quit because it is so compelling and fulfilling. The lyrics suggest that the love being experienced is so strong and intense that it's almost like being high on a drug, as if the love potion is flowing through the veins. The feelings are so powerful that the singer is seemingly unable to control them, declaring "I just can't stop, you're working on the mainline of my love."


The second verse further describes how the love has changed everything in the singer's life, making the world seem brighter and more positive. The line "Your love is lower, the price I had to pay" suggests that the singer has given up things or made sacrifices to experience this love, but it has been worth it. It's clear that the experience of love is so transformative that nothing is the same as it was before. The chorus is repeated again with the same sentiment, further emphasizing the idea of being addicted to the love and the power it holds over the singer.


Overall, "Mainline" is a fun and upbeat song that captures the exciting and sometimes overwhelming feeling of falling in love. The metaphor of love being like a drug reinforces the idea that love can be all-consuming and addictive, and the song celebrates the power of that experience.
