Contact High
Chasing a Contact High: Unveiling the Emotional Chemistry in We Are Scientists' Lyrics
Lyrics
Nothing that I take has the least effect
Expressing a lack of effect from substances taken.
Or at least it hasn't, yet
Suggesting that the lack of effect persists.
Everything I taste
Highlighting that everything tasted only reflects the individual's perception.
Only tastes like my mouth, to me
Emphasizing the subjective nature of taste.
Can't I catch a break?
Expressing a desire for relief or respite.
Can you please just let me breathe in what you sweat?
Requesting space and the opportunity to experience something real.
That's the only way I think I can feel anything
Implies that real feelings are only experienced through intense experiences.
Or, at least that's my theory
Introducing a personal theory about feeling through extreme situations.
You're a fuse that I'd like to light
Describing the person as a potential catalyst for excitement.
And I'd truly be gratified
Expressing a desire for satisfaction or fulfillment.
With your contact high
Referring to the euphoria experienced through contact with the person.
I reboot and my mind's rewired
Indicating a mental reboot and positive transformation.
Somehow you bring me back to life
Acknowledging the person's ability to revive and inspire.
With your contact high
Reiterating the positive impact of contact with the person.
I can't say what it is
Expressing uncertainty about the current emotional state.
Am I bored or this full-blown anomie?
Questioning whether the feeling is boredom or a deeper sense of disconnect.
By any measurement, this isn't where I'd like to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Well, let me tell you this:
Introducing a declaration or statement about the person.
You're the only source of light that I can see,
Emphasizing the person's significance as a guiding light.
And just a drop of it would chemically enliven me
Describing the transformative potential of even a small connection.
This is getting pretty frightening
Expressing a sense of fear or unease about the situation.
(Whatever you give is what I'll be taking)
Indicating willingness to accept whatever the person provides.
Maybe it's too late to learn
Expressing uncertainty about the timing of understanding or realization.
Maybe I just wait my turn
Considering the option of patiently waiting for a positive change.
Maybe I should take my mind off things, for once
Suggesting a need for distraction from current thoughts or concerns.
Maybe that's the way this works
Contemplating the possibility that distraction is the key to improvement.
Maybe I just made it worse
Reflecting on the potential negative impact of recent actions or thoughts.
Maybe I should take my mind of things, for once
Reiterating the idea of taking a break from current mental preoccupations.
