Fever
Wendy Page Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a fever or a flame
Takes me over
Let it just fly
This star has wings and now so have I
Close my eyes ready for sleep
Let it rise up from the deep
Your name I remember
Like a fever or a flame
Just like a fever or a flame
And you are gone
But not forgotten
In the distance but not forgiven
This human heart still feels the same
But you consume it
Just like a fever or a flame
Your name I remember
Your name I remember
Like a fever or a flame
Just like a fever or a flame
And my pillow you are again
In my dreams still you talk
The mystery of you
And what you used to do
Still remain
Just like a fever or a flame
Just like a fever or a flame
Close my eyes I'm ready for sleep
Let it rise up from the deepest deep
Your name I remember
Your name I remember
Like a fever or a flame
Just like a fever or a flame
Your name I remember
Your name I remember
Like a fever or a flame
Just like a fever or a flame
I know I wish you home again
I know I wish you home again
Comes this feeling from a distance
Like a fever or a flame
It takes me over let it just fly
This star has wings and now so have I
Your name I remember
Your name I remember
Like a fever or a flame
The lyrics to Wendy Page's "Fever" express the intense and consuming feelings of a past relationship. The singer is haunted by the memory of their former partner, who has left them but not been forgotten. The lines "Comes this feeling from a distance / Like a fever or a flame / Takes me over / Let it just fly" suggest that the singer is powerless to resist the emotions that are stirred up by their memories. They are overwhelmed by a rush of intense feelings that are both like a fever - hot and feverish - and like a flame - all-consuming and depleting.
Throughout the song, the name of their ex-partner is repeated like a mantra, as if the singer is trying to hold onto them through the power of language. The lyric "But you consume it / Just like a fever or a flame" suggests that the singer's emotions are being drained away by the memory of their lost love, leaving them feeling empty and hollow. However, despite the pain that the memories evoke, the singer is unable to let go of them. In the final stanza of the song, they express a longing for their ex-partner to return, even though they know that this is impossible.
