Must Be The Music
The Summer Set Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did that just really happen
Man this night is getting weird
I'm freaking out
And everybody's clapping
Did my clothes just disappear?
It's like I'm looking in the mirror at someone else
Howling at the moon, no I'm not myself
And I can't believe it
Living up the night with the walking dead,
Who's this monster in my bed?
By five in the morning I'll forget.
I'm gonna lose it
Jump of the roof screaming, "I can fly!"
Dare me to do it
What's taking over my brain tonight?
Must be the music
Must be the music.
This DJ sucks
And I ain't going no where till he plays my favorite song
Give me a shot and
Let me blow your speakers with "You shook me all night long"
And I just spilled my drink
And sold my soul
Lit the house on fire
Gonna rock and roll
Everybody look out 'cause I've lost control
And I kinda like it.
Living up the night with the walking dead,
Who's this creeping in my bed?
When the sun comes up I won't regret.
I'm gonna lose it
Jump of the roof screaming, "I can fly!"
Dare me to do it
What's taking over my brain tonight?
Must be the music
Must be the music.
I'm gonna lose it
Must be the music.
Must be the music,
That's got me shaking like an addict
Dude, flyin' so high I'm gonna need a parachute
When I come down,
When I come down.
Must be the music
I'm gonna lose it
Jump of the roof screaming, "I can fly!"
Dare me to do it,
What's taking over my brain tonight?
Must be the music
Must be the music.
I'm gonna lose it
Must be the music.
Oh my god
Did that just really happen
Man this night is getting weird.

Howling at the moon, no I'm not myself
Experiencing a loss of control and a sense of wildness
And I can't believe it
Being surprised by one's own actions
Living up the night with the walking dead
Interacting with people who seem like they are functioning on autopilot
Who's this monster in my bed?
Not recognizing the person one is sharing an intimate moment with
By five in the morning I'll forget.
Knowing that the events of the night will soon become hazy or be forgotten
Jump of the roof screaming, "I can fly!"
Being moved to take impulsive and dangerous action due to the music
Dare me to do it
Challenging oneself or others to engage in risky behavior
What's taking over my brain tonight?
Noticing the intense psychological impact of the music
Must be the music
Attributing the strange and intense experiences to the power of the music
This DJ sucks
Feeling disappointed or frustrated with the music being played
And I ain't going no where till he plays my favorite song
Refusing to leave the event until a personal satisfaction is met
Give me a shot and let me blow your speakers with "You shook me all night long"
Demanding an opportunity to take over the music and play a personal favorite
And I just spilled my drink
Experiencing clumsiness or a lack of fine motor control
And sold my soul
Feeling like one is sacrificing something valuable to indulge in wild behavior
Lit the house on fire
Engaging in dangerous or destructive behavior
Gonna rock and roll
Embracing a sense of wild abandon and self-indulgence
Everybody look out 'cause I've lost control
Acknowledging that one's behavior has become unpredictable and potentially dangerous
And I kinda like it
Feeling conflicted between the excitement of the moment and a sense of personal responsibility
Must be the music, That's got me shaking like an addict
Feeling a physical response to the power of the music like an addiction
Dude, flyin' so high I'm gonna need a parachute
Feeling like one is engaging in an extreme, almost surreal experience
When I come down, When I come down.
Anticipating a dramatic shift in perspective or experience
I'm gonna lose it
Admitting that one has no control over the intense feelings or actions brought on by the music
Must be the music.
Concluding that the music is the sole cause of the intense and surreal experiences
