Powerful Stuff Lyrics
Aw, yes, this is powerful stuff
Got me circling like the moon round the sun
Acting crazy like a fool all drunk
Hear me, this is powerful stuff
There's no way for you to give this up
It's in your body it's all in your blood
It'll tear you down it'll lift you up
And keep you turning like it's never enough
Alright, now, let's turn it up
Every day do like a flower does
The sun it rises and she opens up
The sun it rises and she sings
Oh, hit me, this is
Powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful
Powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful
Powerful, powerful, mmm-hmm
Yeah, now tell me are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready when a thing's so strong?
You can't give it, won't give it up
watch it turning, yearning, burning
Can't give it up, won't give it up
Even when you're yearning, burning, turning
Can't give it up, won't give it up
mmm-hmmm
Powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful
Powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful
Powerful, powerful, mmm-hmm
Got me circling like the moon round the sun
Acting crazy like a fool all drunk
Hear me, this is powerful stuff
It's in your body it's all in your blood
It'll tear you down it'll lift you up
And keep you turning like it's never enough
Every day do like a flower does
The sun it rises and she opens up
The sun it rises and she sings
Powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful
Powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful
Powerful, powerful, mmm-hmm
Are you ready?
Are you ready when a thing's so strong?
watch it turning, yearning, burning
Can't give it up, won't give it up
Even when you're yearning, burning, turning
Can't give it up, won't give it up
mmm-hmmm
Powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful
Powerful, powerful, mmm-hmm

My first assumption was that it indeed was drugs, but now I believe it to be intense love. Don't underestimate this song. It's probably not just about Weed, or Heroine. Look a little deeper, thank you.
clearly, sean hayes is talking about smoking weed. the first two verses give it away
"Got me circling like the moon round the sun"...
"Got me circling like the moon round the sun"...
...so, circling around one object that circles around another..?

TRUE. MUST BE WEED.

wtf weed? seriously? weed is not that addictive "can't give it up won't give it up even when you're yearning burning turning." cleary...clearly it is herion maybe some other type of hardcore strong drug. "it's in your body it's all in your blood." possibly talking about shooting up (injection). "it'll tear you down it'll lift you up".. if you've ever done dope you know just what he is talking about. one more "it'll keep you turning like its never enough" one word for that verse (KICKS)symptom of wd. in my POV this is clearly about something larger, stronger more...

It doesn't necessarily have to be a legitimate drug. It sounds to me like he could be talking about love, which has been described as a drug-like thing in itself.

i think it's about good sex, it can be just as good as any drug (every day do like the flower does, the sun it rises and she opens up)

that is so true..Heard th song in di adverstisment and fel in love with it. wheather drugs are love it can mean whatever anyone wants it to be but for me its love cause can lead to foolish behaviour at times.
