Teaser
Yngwie Malmsteen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Getting dressed for the masquerade
To be the main attraction
Might become someone someday
With the right connection
You might find the night so lonely
But you're not the only one
I just want to go with ecstasy
To the river of love I run
Teaser you set my heart on fire
Teaser put out the flames of my desire
If you let me stay inside
I give satisfaction
In the night we might lose our way
In the tunnel of love I ride
Teaser you set my heart on fire
Teaser put out the flames of my desire
Ohh I guess we all need someone




Teaser you set my heart on fire
Teaser put out the flames of my desire

Overall Meaning

Yngwie Malmsteen's song Teaser is a fast-paced, hard rock song that speaks to the desire for connection and companionship. The lyrics open with the image of getting dressed for a masquerade, setting the stage for a night of fun and anonymity. The desire to be the main attraction and to become someone with the right connections speaks to the human desire to be noticed, celebrated and to have a sense of belonging. The lyrics convey that even though attendance at the masquerade may mean being lost in the crowd, it also means that we're not alone in our quest for love and fulfillment.


The main focus of the lyrics is the Teaser, who sets the singer's heart on fire but also puts out the flames of their desire. This can be interpreted as a statement about the conflicting feelings of desire and fulfillment in relationships -sometimes the person we desire doesn't provide the companionship that we need. "If you let me stay inside, I give satisfaction" implies that this is a relationship focused on physical satisfaction, and the tunnel of love is a metaphor for this kind of relationship. In the end, the singer acknowledges that we all need someone, even if that someone only sets our hearts on fire without providing long term satisfaction.
