No Brakes
The Wolfe Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm zero to crazy and stuck in overdrive
Yeah I've seen Daytona and them Talladega nights
But just one look you had me falling at the speed of light
Girl when turn you it up
Ya know how to turn me on
Baby I can't get enough
There ain't no slowing down
You know it's way too late
Can't turn my heart around
This thing ain't got no brakes
That black dress, them blues eyes that come and get me smile
That kiss on your lips finger tips that drive me wild
I can't help but give in with this buzzing on my brain
I kinda get the feeling never be the same
Girl when turn you it up
Ya know how to turn me on
Baby I can't get enough
You got me too far gone
There ain't no slowing down
You know it's way too late
Can't turn my heart around
This thing ain't got no brakes
One taste and I'm wasted on what you got
Am I falling? Am I flying? Can't make it stop
Girl when turn you it up
Ya know how to turn me on
Baby I can't get enough
You got me too far gone
There ain't no slowing down
You know it's way too late
Can't turn my heart around
This thing ain't got no brakes
The Wolfe Brothers' song "No Brakes" is a classic country rock anthem about falling head over heels in love with someone who is dangerously irresistible. The lyrics depict the singer's struggle to slow down his racing heart and overcome his infatuation with a woman who is like a race car, always speeding through his mind. The chorus, "There ain't no slowing down, You know it's way too late, Can't turn my heart around, This thing ain't got no brakes" emphasises that the singer has lost control of his feelings and is powerless to stop the love that is accelerating at full speed.
The first verse of the song paints the picture of the love interest being like a race car, and compares her to the iconic Daytona and Talladega races. This shows the intensity and speed at which she has entered the singer's life. The second verse deepens the characterisation of the woman, describing her with a black dress and blue eyes, and a smile that is so captivating that it can "come and get me". The singer is mesmerised by her and can't help but give in to her allure. The bridge of the song poses the question of whether the singer is falling or flying in this love, and given the momentum, it's impossible to tell.
