The song is a mixture of her experience partying in the rave scene in London and references to pop culture happening at that time.

92 = was one of the better years for the England rave scene Took a pill, good time, all the time = self explainatory labyrinth, world dance = specific dance events/clubs in london at the time E's, Lucozade = ecstasy + energy sport drink DJ's, MC's, private raves = self explainatory Keep it secret, light it, mate. = as in underground raves + spark up the weed *Whistle, whistle Blow, blow = raver blowing a whistle

chowfun18 did a nice job of covering the pop culture references
