Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Wanna know, wanna know)
Yeah I've been running but it caught me somehow (somehow, somehow)
The rule was never fall in love, I did it anyway
(Anyway, anyway)
You made my heart beat keep pumping
Why it ain't turn it up so loud
(So loud, so loud)
'Cause if I don't fear the water
And the night don't fear the thief
It's just you and me together
Here we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
Here we are, we are, we found euphoria
Here we are, we are, we are
And you're going from inside
Like the dot is in your eyes
And I see it for the first time
Here we are, we are, we found euphoria
I really know the way and thought I could get in and out
(In and out, in and out)
She said relax, you gonna be here for a while
But I threw caution to the wind and did it anyway
(Anyway, anyway)
And the truth is I'm learning to loving
And I ain't gonna turn it down
If I don't fear the water
And the night don't fear the thief
Once the music sets you over
Here we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
Here we are, we are, we are
And you're going from inside
Like the dot is in your eyes
And I see it for the first time
Here we are, we are, we found euphoria
Here we are, we are, we are
We are, we are
Here we are, we are
We found euphoria
And you're going from inside
Like the dot is in your eyes
And I see it for the first time
Here we are, we are, we found euphoria
The lyrics of Usher's song "Euphoria" talk about a feeling that the singer is trying to avoid but eventually succumbs to. The beginning of the song talks about being in a dodgy situation with feelings that the singer does not want to acknowledge as he has been running from them, but they have caught up to him. The rule that he had set for himself was to never fall in love, but he did it anyway, and the person he fell in love with has made his heart beat faster and louder. The chorus talks about not fearing anything as long as they are together, finding euphoria in the moment they share.
The song then continues with the singer realizing that he is slowly falling in love and accepting it. The bridge of the song talks about how the person he is in love with has always had a dot in their eyes, which he finds captivating and sees only for the first time. The song ends with the chorus repeating and the singer relishing the euphoria that he has found with the person he loves.
