Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my head I see bright lights
Riding in
I think I'm feeling it now
Just like you did
Taking hits for you
'Cause I wanna feel like I'm supposed to
If this is what makes me feel so real
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
Hold me down
And maybe I'll quit if you stick around
Keep quiet
It's the only place I know, but it's my favorite
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
In these lyrics, it seems like the singer is describing a sense of escapism and a desire to break free from their current reality. The line "Tapping out, in my head I see bright lights" suggests that the person is mentally disconnecting from their surroundings and entering a more vibrant and exciting world in their mind. They mention that they are "feeling it now, just like you did," implying that someone else has inspired or influenced this desire for escape.
The next set of lines, "Taking hits for you, 'cause I wanna feel like I'm supposed to, I could disappear if this is what makes me feel so real," reveals that the singer is willing to endure hardships or take risks in order to experience the sensation of truly living. They are willing to go to great lengths to attain this feeling of realness, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being or sense of self.
The chorus emphasizes the intensity of this desire. The repetition of "And I'd break for you, baby, 'cause you make it feel so good" suggests that the person is willing to break free from their current circumstances for the sake of this intense emotional experience. There is a sense of addiction or dependence on this other person who seems to be the driving force behind their desire to escape.
The second verse continues with the theme of dependence and a struggle for preservation. The line "Hold me down, and maybe I'll quit if you stick around" reflects a desire for support and stability. The singer sees this person as their anchor and believes that with their presence, they may find the strength to give up their current escapism. The line "Keep quiet, it's the only place I know, but it's my favorite" suggests that despite the desire to break free, the singer finds comfort and solace in their current state of mind.
The repetition of "And I'm sick for you, baby, and it's never gonna go away" in the second chorus reinforces the consuming nature of this relationship and the inability to escape from its grip. The singer acknowledges that their infatuation or obsession with this person is something they can never fully shake. It seems like this intense emotional experience is both intoxicating and detrimental to them.
Overall, the lyrics describe a longing for escape, a willingness to take risks for the sake of feeling alive, and a sense of dependency on another person who amplifies these emotions. It portrays a complex relationship between desire, addiction, and the struggle for stability.
