Fever Lyrics

Fever where'd you run to
Fever where'd you run to
Acting right is so routine
A fever let me live a dream
Fever, how much slept on
No one misbehave too
Fever that misunderstood
Wouldn't leave you if I could
Fever

Fever 'cause I’m breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever how will you explain
Break it down again
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me
Fever how will you explain
Break it down again

Fever can you hear me
Fever can you hear me
You shook me like I never been
Now show me how to love again

It used to be a blessing
But fever got me stressing
Realizing I am the played
But fever let me play the game

Fever 'cause I’m breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever how will you explain
Break it down again
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me
Fever why won't you explain
Break it down again

Now if the cold, pale light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not to leave her
Now if the cold, pale light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not leave her
Fever

Fans are the sometimes the worst enemy of the group

when a writer (or a band) wants to try new or different stuff the fans (some at least) freak! "They are selling out!" is always the cry . . . good for these guys!

Maybe they just wanna follow the "fever" - "write it, record it, perform it" . . . fever = passion

My Opinion

Okay I've thought this song through, and I can say this song is a story:

Please note: "Fever" is the person's passion or dreams

Fever where'd you run to - He didn't pursue his dreams Fever where'd you run to Acting right Is so routine - His current life is boring A fever let me live a dream - his "fever" let him live life greatly, but alas he didn't choose it Fever, how much slept too - he never chooses to pursue it No one misbehave too - going along with his life being boring Fever let me sun screw - this means he's asking himself to pursue his dreams Wouldn't leave you if I could - he still will never stop thinking about his dreams Fever - puts emphasize on how important it is, like "oh, fever"

Fever 'cause I’m breaking - he pursued his dreams, and now he hates it Fever got me aching - same thing Fever how will you explain - he's confused, he loves this dream but he hates it Break it down again - same thing Fever got me guilty - he loves and hates his dreams, and it makes him sad Just go ahead and kill me - he doesn't know what to do with his life Fever how will you explain Break it down again

Fever can you hear me - he still wants to pursue his dreams Fever can you hear me You shook me like I never been - he is stunned by not having anything to appreciate Now show me how to love again - he wants to try pursue his dreams again

It used to be a blessing - he loved his dreams But fever got me stressing - now it's to much work and pressure Realizing I am the played - this passion isn't what he thought it would be But fever let me play the game - still wants to pursue it

Fever 'cause I’m breaking Fever got me aching Fever how will you explain Break it down again Fever got me guilty Just go ahead and kill me Fever why won't you explain Break it down again

Now if the cold pale light in her eyes - his dream is tiring out altogether Reaches those horizon lines - he's becoming uninterested You know not to leave her - he STILL won't leave it for good Now If the cold pale light in her eyes Reaches those horizon lines You know not leave her Fever

Someone needs to fix the lyrics...

My Interpretation

You can see it as dreams, you can see it as drugs controlling him

from what I can tell, this song Is about someone who gave up on their dreams to do something else, although I'm still iffy on some of the lyrics, but why I think this is that the so called 'fever' is that persons dreams.

My Interpretation

Edit: I think it's about someone who wants too follow their dreams but once they do they don't like it, but they still want to follow their dreams.

The lyrics in the first verse are off. It's "Acting right is so routine", not "acting out of certainty", and it's "fever that misunderstood", not "fever let me sun screw". Hope that clears up interpretation confusion as "sun screw" has no meaning, it is a pure nonsense phrase.

The meaning of this song could be related to the lead singer's divorce. The "fever" would be his wife, who's presence in his life used to be everything he lived for, but is now a curse. "Fever got me guilty","Fever got me stressing, realize I am to blame"- Her demands are making him feel terrible about living his life and pursuing his music career.

I honestly perceive it as the "fever" is his significant other... He's begging throughout the song then towards the end he tells himself "you know not to leave her.. fever" therefore no matter how much pain and agony he's going through he wont leave her, making "her" the "fever"
