The Expendables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We still perspire even though we're tired
The fire, desire
We still perspire even though we're tired
The bed stays shaking 24/7
Breathing on my neck yes I was in heaven
The bed stays shaking 24/7
Breathing on my neck yes I was in heaven
I'm caught in a reminiscent haze
Cigarettes late night drinking
No fuss no fight
It's just heavy heavy vibe pounding from your eyes
To let me know girl you want me in your thighs
So lay down close for a little while
I know this love will never ever retire
Cause your always hungry girl
Hungry for my love
So come on little girl you got to give me some
The fire, desire
We still perspire even though we're tired
The fire, desire
We still perspire even though we're tired
The bed stays shaking 24/7
Breathing on my neck yes I was in heaven
The bed stays shaking 24/7
Breathing on my neck yes I was in heaven
Even when the lights go out
You would always scream and shout
Give it to me anyway
I know this would catch up some day
A sex Machine I could always call you
Don't deny it, don't even try it
Cause you're always waiting to get the show on the road
With the nutty feeling it was time to unload
The anticipation, then penetration, always down for a sexual sensation
The fire, desire
We still perspire even though we're tired
The fire, desire
We still perspire even though we're tired
The bed stays shaking 24/7
Breathing on my neck yes I was in heaven
The bed stays shaking 24/7
Breathing on my neck yes I was in heaven
The Expendables' song "24/7" is a raunchy, unapologetic ode to a past lover and their intense physical relationship. The lyrics speak of the fire and desire between the singer and his former partner, noting that they still perspire even though they are tired. The refrain focuses on the bed "shaking 24/7" and the feeling of being in heaven with the other person breathing on their neck. The singer reminisces about the good times they had together, including smoking cigarettes and drinking late at night without any fights or complications.
The singer describes his former partner as always hungry for his love, and that they were down for a sexual sensation at any time. Their relationship is portrayed as purely physical, with little emotional connection, as the singer describes the woman as always waiting to "get the show on the road" and eager for the "nutty feeling" of climax. The repeated references to the bed shaking and the physicality of their relationship make it clear that this was the primary focus of their time together.
Overall, "24/7" is a lustful, nostalgia-laden look back at a wild and intense physical relationship. It's clear that the singer misses the physical connection he shared with the other person, but there's no hint of any deeper emotion or connection between them.
