She Blinded Me With Science Lyrics

It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
But she blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And failed me in biology

When I'm dancing close to her
(blinded me with science, science...Science!)
I can smell the chemicals
(blinded me with science, science...Science!)
Science!

But it's poetry in motion
When she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
Failed me in geometry

When she's dancing next to me
(blinded me with science, science...Science!)
I can feel her shivering
(blinded me with science, science...Science!)

It's poetry in motion
Now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science!
And hit me with technology

Good heavens Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful!
I don't believe it!
There she goes again!
She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!
All my tubes and wires, and careful notes
And antiquated notions...

But it's poetry in motion
When she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with....

I must say, I really disagree with MikeSty. I don't believe the song was made to be analyzed that much. It's just a simple infatuation with a lab assistant, put together to make one crazy song.

No ones commented on this song yet?!?!?!

This song is great!

I think it's pretty straightforward really... a scientist falls in love for the first time, and all his scientific knowledge and investigations lose all meaning to him as his emotional side is awakened. Scientists are stereotypically thought of as being firm and emotionless; this song is about a scientist of that nature being awakened to his emotional side through love.

I remember listening to this before I understood sexual innuendos, then listening to it later and appreciating it on a whole new level.

But either way, I love this song to pieces.

A nerd loves a woman who makes fun of his size and uses toys on him, but he's so infatuated with her he forgets himself ("tidied up and I can't find anything" . . . "antiquated notions") . . . she tricks him into changing despite himself.

I dunno Incu...I always thought it was about a guy in school who gets with his teacher?

I think it means he let uncontrollable desire cause him to make a mistake that he now regrets and is hurt because she left.

this is about being distracted bya girl and making bad grades

It's about a scientist who's in love with or swordsy for his lab assistant

CuteSparnkina, it would appear that way. The first 12 times you listen to it, that's just what it says.

I am being completely serious - I have come to realize this song is about infatuation, uncontrollable desire and rape. 'science' is a parallel to 'pepper spray' and 'technology' is a parallel to a "baseball bat" or something to that effect.

I think these lyrics have several mistakes in them, but regardless, "smelling" of chemicals is an obvious reference. So yes, while he has an absurd infatuation with his "lab assistant" or whatever you'd like to call her, the song takes it a step further by subtly implying that his actions towards her were met with ferocity and he is dillusional.
