Mainline
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 lyrics to Tensnake's song "Mainline" describe the intoxicating and addictive feeling of being in love. The chorus, "Don't wanna stop cause you struck my mainline, can't stop this feeling inside my brain," suggests that falling in love is like being hooked on a drug or addicted to a habit. The use of the imagery of a "mainline" refers to a direct injection of a drug into a vein, representing how deeply embedded this person's love has become in the singer's life.


The verses add to this idea, describing how this love has changed everything in the singer's life - the world seems brighter and nothing seems the same since this person came into their life. The price of this love is described as being lower than expected, perhaps suggesting that the singer wasn't anticipating such intense feelings or that this love has brought unexpected and positive changes to their life. The repetition of "Say yeah, yeah, yeah" throughout the song emphasizes the euphoric feeling of being in love, and the use of verbs like "loving, kissing, hugging, and squeezing" create a sense of physical and emotional closeness.
