Treat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a stormy night
From the cold down under
Shining so bright
She had the power to tempt me
And she knew it well
I had started falling
She knocked down my senses
Loved me to the ground
One of a hundred romances
She had laid down
But you can't turn back
On a one-way line
It's a beaten track
And you're running out of time
Fallen angel
You can't keep me
Fallen angel
Let go and set me free
You'd better stop this game you play
'Cause you won't stand a chance
I will turn on the flame again
Burn down your defense
'Cause you can't turn back
On a one-way line
It's a beaten track
And you're running out of time
Fallen angel
You can't keep me
Fallen angel
Let go and set me free
Fallen angel
You can't keep me
Fallen angel
What's stopping you to let me go
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Oh, yeah
Whoa, whoa...
Fallen angel
(You know you can't keep me)
You can't keep me
(You know that it's wrong)
Fallen angel
Trying to tell you that it can't go on
Fallen angel
You gotta let go, let it go
Fallen angel
What's stopping you to let me go

She came in like thunder
She arrived with great force, energy and noise
On a stormy night
It was a night with terrible weather conditions
From the cold down under
She was from a place far away in the south which is known for being chilly
Shining so bright
She was radiant and beautiful
She had the power to tempt me
She possessed the ability to seduce me
And she knew it well
She was aware of the impact she had on others
I had started falling
I began to have strong feelings for her
Under her spell
Her influence and control over me was undeniable
She knocked down my senses
She overwhelmed and confused my emotions
Loved me to the ground
She expressed overwhelming affection for me
One of a hundred romances
She had been involved in similar relationships before
She had laid down
She had established a pattern of behavior in her relationships
But you can't turn back
It's impossible to return to a previous state or situation
On a one-way line
The path chosen only allows for forward motion
It's a beaten track
The path is well-worn and familiar
And you're running out of time
There's not much time left to change course
Fallen angel
She has lost her innocence and purity
You can't keep me
I cannot be held or trapped against my will
Let go and set me free
Release me from your grasp and allow me to leave
You'd better stop this game you play
Your manipulative conduct must come to an end
'Cause you won't stand a chance
Your tactics won't work on me anymore
I will turn on the flame again
I will reignite the passion within our relationship
Burn down your defense
I will break down the barriers you have constructed to protect yourself
What's stopping you to let me go
Why are you holding on to me when I want to leave?
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Vocalizations indicating emotion or passion
Oh, yeah
An exclamation of agreement or encouragement
Whoa, whoa...
A cry of astonishment or admiration
You know that it's wrong
Deep down you understand that your actions are unethical
Trying to tell you that it can't go on
I'm warning you that the relationship must end
You gotta let go, let it go
You must release me and let the relationship end
