National Fever
Embracing a National Fever: Ambition, Healing, and Transformation
Lyrics
Hoist me shoulder high
Expressing a desire to be lifted and supported enthusiastically.
Help me reach the sky
Seeking assistance to reach high aspirations or goals.
Stem the stream of my ambition
Request to control or restrain the flow of personal ambition.
Cos it's running dry
Acknowledging a decline or depletion in personal ambition.
Don't be shy
Encouragement to overcome shyness and hesitation.
Be the first in line
Encouragement to be the first to take action or initiative.
With the symptoms you'll be feeling fine
Suggesting positive outcomes if one exhibits certain symptoms.
I can tell you cos I know what to prescribe
Claiming expertise and ability to prescribe solutions.
Yeah, shout. Let it out for everyone
Encouraging vocal expression for everyone.
In your own town right now
Specifically urging expression in one's own community.
I don't know how it started
Expressing uncertainty about the origin of a phenomenon.
We caught a national fever again
Referring to the recurrence of a national fervor or enthusiasm.
If none of us had caught it
Pondering the consequences if the fever had not spread.
Could you see a future for your friends
Questioning the potential future in the absence of the fever.
Don't be scared to be the first in line
Encouragement to overcome fear and take the lead.
With the symptoms you'll be feeling fine
Suggesting positive outcomes if one exhibits certain symptoms (repeated).
I can tell you cos I know what to prescribe
Claiming expertise and ability to prescribe solutions (repeated).
Don't resist it when it's caught you cold
Advising not to resist the fever when it takes hold.
Cos the symptoms they can't be controlled
Highlighting the uncontrollable nature of the symptoms.
And they're spreading to the bottom of your soul
Describing the pervasive impact of the symptoms on one's soul.
Paradise for which you yearn
Desire for a paradise or ideal state of being.
Goes safely by
Acknowledging that the desired paradise passes by without being attained.
That's what you'll learn
Implying a lesson or insight gained from this experience.
You wanna see it
Expressing a yearning or desire to witness something.
You wanna feel it
Expressing a desire to physically experience something.
You wanna be it again
Desire to embody a certain state or condition once again.
Just say my name and accept my invitation
Invitation to say the speaker's name and accept an invitation.
And you'll never feel the same again
Promise of a transformative experience if the invitation is accepted.
If you shout.
Reiteration of the encouragement to shout.
Let it out
Reiteration of the encouragement to let out one's feelings.
I'm the healer
Claiming the role of a healer in the context of the fever.
And the fever
Reiteration of the presence of the fever.
