Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
You don't feel the pain
Too much is not enough
Nobody said this stuff makes any sense
We're hooked again
Point of no return
See how the buildings burn
Light up the night
Such pretty sight
Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
(You don't feel the pain)
Sail through an empty night
It's only you and I who understand
There is no plan
Get closer to the thrill
Only time can kill what's in your eyes
Is so alive
Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
Run through the speed of sound
Every thing slows you down
And all colors that surround you
Are bleeding to the walls
All the things you really need
Just wait to find the speed
Then you will achieve
Escape velocity
Too much is not enough
Nobody gave it up
I'm not the kind
To lay down and die
Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
Adrenaline
Screaming out your name
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
(Adrenaline)
Oh, you don't even feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
'Cause I'm going to extremes
There is nothing in between
Where I want to be
You don't even feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
I'm going to extremes
And I'm going to extremes
There's nothing in between
There's nothing in between
And I'm going to extremes
And I'm going to extremes
There's nothing in between
You don't even feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
You don't even feel the pain
Going to extremes (You don't even feel the pain)
Too much is not enough
Nobody said this stuff makes any sense
We're hooked again
Point of no return
See how the buildings burn
Light up the night
Such pretty sight
Adrenaline
Keeps me in the game
Adrenaline
You don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
(You don't feel the pain)
Sail through an empty night
It's only you and I who understand
There is no plan
Get closer to the thrill
Only time can kill what's in your eyes
Is so alive

You don't even feel the pain

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
excelent song... i love it the 1st time i heard it.... everyone needs the rush... it just shows what extent adrenaline can push you too... makes me wanna go crazy and do something... lol good workout music...
gavin rossdale once again proves himself as an amazing artists... i am a HUGE gavin rossdale and a HUGE bush fan and not just because hes 'hot' (check my profile, im a girl so no hate mail ok? ;-) lol) but because hes simply amazing. in my opinion, one of the greats.
im not a fan whats his name? vin disel? but i will go see the movie just because i want to see how this song is put in motion :-)
excellent song.
once again, well done gavin :-)
i agree, good song, not a vin fan, but i will see the movie and buy the soundtrack only to support Gavin. In some weird way, i hope that this song boosts bush up too. Golden state didn't do so good on the album charts, but it was an amazing album. One of thier best in my opinion (if not there best). Good song, and i love the video, although Gavin seems a little lost without his guitar (sp?). But i like how he "dances"! very cute, oh yeah, and he was awesome on Jay Leno!
Never heard of Gavin Rossdale before I saw XXX, but after I did I looked up the song and I'm definatly gonna have to see what else he has out.
how have you not heard of gavin rossdale? you live under a rock? hes the lead singer in bush you crazy fuck.
jesus, bush aren't the most popular band you crazy fuck
yeah, but a lot of people know who they are, even if they only know "machinehead" or "chemicals between us."
this song is incredible. gavin rossdale has such amazing talent, and he lets it all hang out in this song, and in all of Bush's songs..great work mr. rossdale :)
excellent song, gavin is quite the talented musician. Good work signing your name after postin the lyrics too....good touch.....i guess
great song.. i think it's very self explanatory.. i heard it on the xXx soundtrack first... yes im a vin diesel fan, yes i am going to have his children. o.O anyway, I'm not a huge fan of either gavin or bush but nothing that im saying in this comment has any relevance so im going to stop now.
I love this song. Question: Is it just me, or does anyone else think he says "You taste adrenaline" the second time he repeats the chorus near the ending of the song? I swear, it sounds like he says that instead of "It takes adrenaline." I could be wrong, of course.
