Fever
Telepopmusik feat. Betty Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lonely days drunken nights
Living my life underneath unnatural lights
You're the one I've been crying about
Sick and tired trying to sweat you out
I don't want to loose my faith
Want to be a believer
How long for this heartbreak
You're the one I've been crying about
I'm sick and tired trying to sweat you out
While everyone is outside having fun
I'm wondering when I can walk back out into the sun
I don't want to loose my faith
Want to be a believer
How long for this heartbreak
How long for this fever
Heartbreak fever
I don't want to loose my faith
Want to be a believer
How long for this heartbreak
How long for this fever
The song "Fever" by Telepopmusik feat. Betty Black is a poignant depiction of a broken heart and the struggles that come along with it. The lyrics speak of heartbreak fever that is being dealt with through endless nights of drinking and days spent in loneliness while trying to live a life under unnatural lights, presumably representing the mundane routine of life that continues despite the emotional turmoil within. The singer is unable to move on from the person who has been the cause of her pain and is finding it difficult to let go of her faith, hoping to remain a believer and not succumb to the despair that heartbreak can bring.
There is a sense of longing and desperation in the lyrics as the singer questions how long this heartbreak and fever will persist. The reference to everyone outside having fun while she is stuck inside dealing with her emotions highlights the isolation that often comes with heartbreak. Overall, the song is a moving exploration of the complexities of heartbreak and the struggle to maintain hope and faith in love.
