Heat Of Emotion
Zeno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking on the street
Restless in the heat
Looking for a way to go
And the night is coming slowly
Bringing the emotion

Coming to a fight
On the other side
Running for a mile or two
Still I'm running into nowhere
Captured by emotion

A fire burns me up in the night
The heat of emotion
Only your love can make me survive
The heat of emotion

And you got me by the neck
Took my breath away
When you told me 'cool it down'
'cause if love goes into nowhere
You're a victim of emotion

A fire burns me up in the night
The heat of emotion
Only your love can make me survive
The heat of emotion

'Cause if love goes into nowhere
You're a victim of emotion





A fire burns me up in the night...

Overall Meaning

The song "Heat of Emotion" by Zeno is about the overwhelming power of emotions, particularly the intense feelings that arise when one is in love. The song opens with the singer walking the streets aimlessly, restless and impatient under the heat of the night. As the night slowly approaches, the singer feels a surge of intense emotion that seems to be leading them somewhere. They then reach a point where they have to fight for their love and run for miles, but it all seems to be in vain as they are running into nowhere.


The verse, "A fire burns me up in the night, The heat of emotion, Only your love can make me survive, The heat of emotion" clearly expresses the overwhelming sensation of love and its impact on someone's life.

However, it also highlights that true love is the one force that can save you from your emotions and make you feel alive again.


Overall, the song captures the essence of love as a powerful feeling that can lead us on a journey of a lifetime, but also where the lack of it can make us feel lost and victimized.
