Cover art for Fever lyrics by Black Keys, The

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...
