Don't Turn Me On
Chasing Dopamine Dreams: Unveiling the Heartbeat Behind 'Don't Turn Me On'
Lyrics
I watch my brain move
The singer observes their thoughts or mental processes.
From a seat in the back room
They are observing this from a distant or detached perspective.
Looking for that dopamine hit
Seeking a rush of dopamine, a pleasure-inducing neurotransmitter in the brain.
Looking for some brand new fix
Looking for a new experience or solution to fulfill a need.
I watch my mouth move
Observing their speech or expression.
From my seat in the back room
Again, from a distant or detached position.
Looking for that ego trip
Searching for a boost to their ego or self-esteem.
Looking for that bloop bloop blip
Seeking some kind of technological or artificial stimulation.
But please, don’t turn me on (And when I see you)
Asking to refrain from stimulating or exciting them upon seeing someone.
Don’t turn me on (I wanna see you)
-Don’t turn me on (And when I see you...you...you)
-Don’t turn me... (I, I, I, I wanna see you)
-I feel my heart beat
Sensing their own heartbeat.
And I know it is my heart beat
Acknowledging that the heartbeat signifies their vitality or existence.
That animates all these other things
Recognizing that the heartbeat gives life or energy to other sensations or experiences.
That makes these whistles and these bells ring
Indicating that the heartbeat triggers excitement or attention.
And when I see you
Reacting to the sight of someone.
Your image makes me want to
Feeling drawn towards the person upon seeing them.
Forget everything I thought I knew
Feeling the urge to abandon previous knowledge or beliefs.
Reconstruct it all, make it brand new
Desiring to reconstruct or change everything based on this new encounter.
Please, don’t turn me on (And when I see you)
Repeated plea to avoid being stimulated or emotionally influenced upon seeing someone.
Don’t turn me on (I wanna see you)
-Don’t turn me on (And when I see you)
-Don’t turn me... (I wanna see you)
-Please, don’t turn me on (And when I see you, you)
-Don’t turn me on (I wanna see you)
-Don’t turn me on (And when I see you, you, you)
-Don’t turn me on (I wanna see you)
-Don’t turn it on
Reiteration of the plea to avoid being turned on or affected by the encounter.
Don’t turn it on
-Don’t turn it on
-Don’t turn it on
-Don’t turn it on (And when I )
-Don’t turn it on (I wanna I, I, I, )
-Don’t turn it on (And when I see you, you, you)
-Don’t turn it on (I, I, I wanna see you)
-Don’t turn it on
-Don’t turn it on
Final plea to avoid emotional stimulation or reaction.
