Circuit Breaker Lyrics

What is that vitalizing sound
Calling me
In my head
Repeatedly
What is that visionary sight
Before my eyes
So prominent
So mesmerizing turbulent

You've got a hold on me
Your ingenuity
Seems to be driving me down on my knees
The force you generate
You reinvigorate
Your body talks and overstates

Well I'm already drawn
Close to the devine
Intoxicating images are rushing through my mind
Embodiment of sin
Has kindled me within
Sensations seems to multiplay
They're building up inside

Cutting through the night
Radiating light
I've seen you move the crowd
I know what you're about
The stories I have heard
The talk about excess
I know what people say
But surely you impress

Charismatic pill
You elevated sun
Vanity and pride
Added into one
A universal force
An autonomic high
A thing I can't control
No matter how I try

What have you done to me
This candid chemistry
Emotions running over me
And when you arch your back
Just with a stare like that
Well it's natural to interact

Well I'm not holding back
Ready to commence
Caught up in your blizzard
So confusing and intense
Synergy of two
Energy gone wild
See the stars align
To spell your name out in the sky

Never seen this sight
So fascinated by it
A symetry between
Dirty and pristine
Calling out so loud
Beautiful and true
Mystery about
Everything you do

Charismatic drug
You elevated sun
Vanity and pride
Added into one
A universal force
An atonomic high
A thing I can't control
No matter how I try

This electricity
Injected into me
Emotions running over me
And when you're getting close
You touch my innermost
A feeling deep inside me knows

Wonders of deligth
Cutting through the night
Known you got it all
I can't do without
Burning in my veins
Ripping through my soul
I'll never be the same
A secret can't be told

Charismatic pill
You elevated sun
Vanity and pride
Added into one
A universal force
An autonomic high
A thing I can't control
No matter how I try

For me this song was all about that kind of person that just instantly strikes a chord in you, motivates you, catches your thoughts...he's definitely thinking sexually...and seems to be having trouble merging those feelings with how fantastic she's making him feel - that "symmetry between dirty and pristine". He doesnt believe any of the stories he's heard because he knows they have a connection of some sort and she's inherently his match.

I didn't even read the stripper/porn influence until now, and can kinda see that...but she seems more like one of those "life of the party" people...someone everyone is drawn to and mesmerized by.

Either way - it's a badass song. Reminds me somewhat of the Pet Shop Boys in it's repetition.

I think this is about drugs and the obsession/addiction for them/it. There are to many references to drugly things (for example:Charismatic pill, An automatic high, Charismatic drug,Injected into me,Burning in my veins). The part:

Cutting through the night Radiating light I've seen you move the crowd I know what you're about The stories I have heard The talk about excess I know what people say But surely you impress

talks about the rave scene (maybe) where drugs like ecstacy and various others are prevelant. I really feel this is about drugs/raving, but the lady thing matches, i guess. But my opinion is drugs/party rave

I always thought it was "sensations seem to multiply" not multiplay -? I think it would make much more sense like that.

the song goes and your waiting for the chorus, not impatiently but expectently and there isnt one untill you realise that its all a chorus. and your there trying to catch it.

great song.. for me it's about this guy who's in love with some famous girl (i'm guessing pornostar) and she has these affects on him and they have an affair for some time and she asks him not to tell about it.

At first i thought the song was about ecstasy, but whootwhoot raised a valid point. I'm still on the Ecstasy track, perhaps because it's one of the greatest songs to get high to :)

Peace

I think it can go either way. Or both. having sex with someone you love while on e...

I thought "elevated sun" was "elevated sum", but that might just be my geekiness playing tricks on my ears

Take some shrooms or some MDMA and it will all make sense. (or fall in love with someone..)
