Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're in my system
How did you grab my soul like that (In my system)
How did you grab my soul like that (In my system)
How did you grab my soul like that,
No beat, No verse, but I'm hooked like that.
How did you get through the doors on latch,
All of my system you flow through dat.
You shining, closed refection,
I struggle to cope when your absent,
I was dealing my hope, that was back then,
So I shuffle the pr, make it past tense,
And you grab my soul like that,
No beat no verse but I'm hooked like that,
How did you get through the doors on latch,
All of my system you flow through, I'm like
How did you grab my soul like that?, (I can work it out)
I'm like, how did you grab my soul like that, (I can work it out)
Somethings telling me that she might be the one,
She got what I need she's my favorite drug,
Hows she got me,
In my system, (it's how she got me)
In my System, (In my system)
How did ya grab my soul like that
In my system, (In my system)
How did ya grab my soul like that
In my system,
How did ya grab my soul like that,
No beat no verse, but I'm hooked like that.
How did you get through the doors on latch,
All of my system you flow through that.
Your shining closed refection,
I struggle to cope when your absent,
I was dealing with hope, that was back then.
So I shift pr... make it past tense.
How did ya grab my soul like that,
No beat no verse, but I'm hooked like that.
How did you get through the doors on latch,
All of my system you flow through,
I'm like,
How did ya grab my soul like that,
(I can work it out)
I'm like,
How did ya grab my soul like that,
(I can work it out)
Somethings telling me that she might be the one,
She know what I mean shes my favorite drug,
(how she got me)
In my system,
(How she got me)
In my system.
The lyrics of Tinchy Stryder's song "In My System" depict a situation where the singer cannot seem to get enough of someone who has metaphorically taken over his entire being. The repeated line "You're in my system" conveys the idea that the person in question has captured the singer's attention completely and irresistibly. The singer seems to be marveling at how this person has "grabbed [his] soul like that" without needing any music, lyrics or any other conventional means of attraction. It's as if this person has cast a spell on him and he cannot help but be hooked.
The singer struggles to deal with the absence of this person, admitting that he finds it hard to cope. He reminisces about the time when he was dealing with his hopes in the past, but now he's so consumed by this person that he can barely form coherent thoughts. The third verse sees him admitting that he thinks this person might be "the one" for him, referring to them as his "favorite drug". Overall, the song portrays someone who has been consumed by infatuation and can barely put into words why that is.
