For Seeking Heat
Thrilling Velocity: Unleashing Serene Pleasure in Swervedriver's 'For Seeking Heat'
Lyrics
You seem to circle miles above me
You appear distant and unattainable, hovering above me metaphorically.
Never hearing any word that I say
You seem oblivious to my words, creating a sense of disconnect or lack of communication.
Eyes reeling from deadly pleasure
Your eyes are overwhelmed by intense pleasure, possibly dangerous or risky.
The last second don't count anyway
The final moments or decisions don't have significant consequences.
Without the safety net you're freed
Without a safety net, there is freedom to experience unrestrained sensations.
To find serene pleasure of speed
Freedom allows the discovery of a calm and pleasurable experience of speed.
A blur of beauty, intoxicating
A rapid and beautiful experience that is captivating and possibly overwhelming.
Existence outstripped, outshined
Existence is surpassed and outshone by this intense encounter.
Head clear cold chassis shaking
A clear-headed experience with a physically shaking core.
Encounter of body and mind
An encounter that involves both the body and the mind.
Erupting violent machine
A violent and explosive expression of machinery or power.
Precise exultance so serene
Precise and ecstatic joy that is calm and serene.
Poised between risk and calculation
Balancing between taking risks and making calculated decisions.
In a kind of wide-awake alert daze
In a state of heightened awareness, akin to being in a wakeful and alert daze.
Pretty pirouette accelerating
A graceful and accelerating dance-like movement.
Beyond living in so many ways
Transcending ordinary life in multiple ways.
Without the safety net you're freed
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the freedom without a safety net.
To find serene pleasure of speed
Reiteration of the serene pleasure found in unrestricted speed.
Erupting violent machine
A repetition of the explosive and violent nature of the experience.
Precise exultance so serene
Repeating the precise and ecstatic joy that is calm and serene.
