Wanted to know what some of your favourite eurobeat lyrics are. Obviously, some lyrics make no sense and some are even emotionally moving.

Captain American/Donna:

You're keeping close to your bed a super loaded gun,
You think that clean up the streets is such a lot of fun,
You can do everything right we know it,
Yes you can,
No private life is allowed to our superman

Interesting dig at America, Delta.

[WNight]

It's rare to see eurobeat have decent lyrics but here's one from Dave Rodgers that really resonate with me.

1 Fire / Dave Rodgers

I wanna face the world
I'm gonna change rules
I don't know which is the way
But I'm gonna try

Very inspirational, not in the rebellious I wanna break the law kind but more like not settling for social mediocrity.

[JingleJungleBoy]

Hey Chicken / Jeff Driller

Hey chicken hey chicken
The crappy chef is coming
Tomato, beans and rice with pepperoni
Hey chicken go quicken
Not calling me a liar
You gotta be a fryer
Run for your life, now!

[KiraTM]

A song which builds me up every time I listen to it:

Stylophones - Hold On To Love

Don't you know
That soon you'll have no fear?
'Cause you know
Bad times are dying
Yes you know
That you can count on me, oh yes
You got a friend
Lend me your hand

[...]

Life is a game
It's running faster
And just when it leaves you apart
It's makes you stronger

[Bonkers]

Nuage-I just Want To Keep You Hanging On

Love the chorus!

I just want to keep you hangin' on
I really love you till the morning
I just want to give you all my life
I don't wanna stay without you

[Vinylyarou]

Drama - While My Love Awaits

And it's like an angel and it's like a whisper whispering in my ears
When it takes me tender when it takes my hand to set me lonely no more
I live my way never losing faith

That is while my love awaits
something into me says "it's not too late"
carrying on and singing Ya Ya Yoo
I won't cry for men no more
That is while my love awaits
waiting for the time when I'll find a trace
leading me to found love Ya Ya Yoo
Until a sign would come to me...
That is while my love awaits

This song will always be my favorite... though I want the opposite.

[Shawaazu]

Music, I put the CD in my stereo car. Like a star.

Quality lyrics are usually not at the heart of eurobeat, as it's usually more the way in which the lines are spoken that brings them to life, not so much poetic prose. Occasionally though, the words can be truly legit. Here are some of my favorite lyrics off the top of my head:

Christine - Story of My Life:

This gradually became one of my most listened-to eurobeat songs ever thanks not only to its dreamlike soundscape, but also its words, which are exceptionally introspective for a genre of music primarily marketed for dance clubs. I'm devastated that its only appearance was on Maharaja Night Hi-NRG Revolution 24 (the first SCP song ever released on a eurobeat compilation, in fact), quickly becoming overlooked while more traditionally appealing songs like Number One and Jam Jam Jam became staples for the SCP label instead.

Boulevard of broken dreams
I walk in disillusion
Still my life's mystery
All passion and confusion

I'm gonna try
Take this piece of my life
To shape my destiny
'Cause the power in me
Is the power of dreams
I'll never let them go and
Face the world alone

The story of my life
And all the world can't stop my lonely flight
Look into my eyes
The story of my life
A dream of never-ending glory
Lost in the night
The story of my life
And all the world can't stop my flyin' high
Look into my eyes
The story of my life
A dream of never-ending glory
Let the light shine on me

Burnin' up all memories
I'll take away the sorrow
If you got me on my knees
I'm living for tomorrow

Dave Rodgers - Deja Vu:

Musically, this song epitomizes classic Dave Rodgers, but its psychedelic lyrics always pop out at me where other sets do not.

See your body into the moonlight
Even if I try to cancel
All the pictures into the mind
There's flashing in my eyes

Don't you see my condition?
The fiction is gonna run it again
Can't you see now illusions?
Right into your mind

Deja vu
I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street
And I know it's my time to go
Calling you and the search is mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be wooh!

Deja vu
I've just been in this time before
Higher on the beat
And I know it's a place to go
Calling you and the search is mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me yeah!

See the future into the present
See my past lives in the distance
Try to guess now what's going on
And the band begins to play

Lou Grant - Always on My Mind:

When it comes to words, Time has to be one of the least original eurobeat labels, resorting to the tiring "fire-desire-higher-liar" and "passion-hot-sex-love-emotion" tropes in almost all of their songs. With this Lou Grant song, however, it's evident the writers took a real step out of their comfort zone, creating something freshly original, with a more unconventional melodic structure and dreamlike lyrics.

There was a time for love
Deep inside my mind
There was a time for passion and lovely things
I was a king and you my fantastic queen of love
For loving for loving

Remember all the lovely story
Deep inside your fantasy

Always on my mind
Tonight a star is born
Is born into the sky
Always on my mind
The time is fine and warm
Don't close your special magic eyes

There was a sunshine day
In my fantasy
There was a night with you
Full of melody
I was your man and you my fantastic lady
Honey be my babe

F.C.F. - Technological World:

Like most good eurobeat songs, the lyrics to this are rhythmic and hook-based, but there's something peculiarly chilling about this song's narration that feels alive in a way uncommon for eurobeat.

Dan dan dan
It's a technological
Dan dan dan
It's a technological
Dan dan dan
It's a technological world

No no not a miracle?
No no not a physical?
Combined with a magical light

Oh no it's so incredible
Oh no metaphysical
No time and no place where to hide

Baby I know! I know...
Where it's gonna live and gonna die
Baby I know! I know...
All your feeling all your mind
Baby I know! I know...
Come to me tonight, don't turn me away
Baby I know! I know...
Don't believe in future brains

Za-Za - It's Only Love:

I've said it before, but I really wish more eurobeat songs were as hauntingly eccentric as this masterpiece is. The production techniques are actually probably its biggest asset—they're among the best ever in fact—but the infectious lyrics play absolutely no small part, either.

Don't be scared if your heartbeat goes away,
It will come back
Don't be shy when you skin begins the match
Let it play

When it's love you touch the heaven and
When it's love you rush the wedding and
Then you'll know deep into the care for sure
No more running

It's only love oh babe love you will take you too
No more hiding your broken heart oh babe
Love will get you cool
No more running it's...

Don't be sad when the music seems to cry
it will smile too
Don't be wild when the moon is shining up in the sky

I love songs with Hammer in the title. A Hammer is very Powerful, so they strike me as either angst or rebelious songs. In Jeff's case it could have double meaning?

Dave Hammond - Take A Hammer
(Sounds like a perfect way to deal with today's fast paced world) or commig of judgment day. Either way Gino delivers with the vocal aggression as always.

Way to go, it's a show

And my head is a rock
I see the cities waiting for me
Like a man on the lamb
Too much people in traffic jams
It's the end

Nowhere to run, but the there's nowhere to hide
Cause you've broken my game to be direct
But today is the stop
Cause my dream is to reach at the top
Yes the top
(Come on boy)

Come and blow your bottom dollar
And you're feeling the passion
Close your mind you're wasting time and
Take a hammer
Misery is busy and you need a convention
Kill today and not tomorrow

Love is on the wire
But you missed the connection
Close you're mind, you're wasting time and
Take a hammer
Mystery is power and the greatest collection
Kill today, don't wait tomorrow
Take a hammer

Way to go, it's a show
Was a nightmare or not?
I dream of having someone to kill
I was there, I will stay
In the city of nowhere man
Was the end


Jeff Driller - Take My Hammer(I still think tis one has double meaning?) Like what hammer is he talkin' bout?

Push and pulling
I wanna make you mine
You're dancing to the ditty
Push and pull me now
Clay and muddy
I like to see you, baby
While you rock in mire
Make me fly

Anger is back
Of burning my soul
Truly, no taste of neither
Takin' hard drags
I feel dummy and joke
You getta lock me until you tired

Take my hammer
And pull it down better
Got to me 'cause I'm on fire
Take my hammer
I push it up, babe
Start you mad count-down

Loose your body
And come into the muddy
Foolish night, don't get up
Take my body and go
Dance in mire
I rock you, baby
Hit my hammer, taste of freedom
Freedom night

Pretty sure it's just a song about sex, like 75 percent of eurobeat. If the subject is a stick-shaped object that causes some sort of extreme reaction, then it's most likely a sex allegory. Maybe the narrator of this song is a bit angstier than usual, but otherwise the subject matter is pretty much the usual. It works with this type of music, but it just isn't original.

[Bonkers]

Love to sing to this in the car!


Bazooka Girl-Money Funny Dollars

Money funny dollars go
If you take me to the top
You can't leave me on my own
Honey, let your money go
You can't buy a sunny love
Gold and silver, take a lot

haha! I was trying to appeaer naive. Yeah, the song is about getting a hand job. I forgot who exactly it was I had the conversation with, back when I aquired vinyls from Live Music studio. I think it was Rimonti who shed the light? Might have been the TIME he sent me the photo of him and his Ferrarri? Anyway most HRG attack songs are about sex under cloak. Some of which you probobly might have not guessed at all?

Madison - Don't Let Me Down

This song has its own story with the singer discovering that her lover might not be faithful to her, then she proclaims her love and in the refrain she pleads to her lover to stay, because she's never had that kind of love and she needs it to be forever. It's high stakes throughout the song and the refrain explodes with all the tension built up from the verse. It's urgent and extremely passionate and the words lift the entire song beyond just the music.

Look in my eyes tell me the truth
There's a girl between me and you
Don't tell me lies gimme the proof
That your love is real and good

Just with you a special feeling
Fills the air around me
I can't think 'bout my life without you
Here by my side

Don't let me down
You got to stay with me
'Cause nobody ever loved me baby
Love me like you'd own my destiny

Don't let me down
My tears are just for you
'Cause I need a love that lasts forever
Love me like you know I'm gonna do

Denise - Burning Like a Flame

The love song that takes it in a totally different direction. The singer has been cheated on and she doesn't want him back. She wants her lover to know just how much she's hurt and how her anger is burning in her. That rage is laid out in the chorus and you can really feel it while listening

Hey!! If you think that I do not know
About the little tricks you played with me
You will be you will be surprised

Every night I cried and every night I lied
To myself again I went through this pain
I was dying inside me jealousy is a killer
You killed everything in me

Burning like a flame into my heart
Burning like a flame into my body
I know you've deceived me and this time
No I don't wanna forgive you
Burning like a flame into my heart
Burning like a flame into my body
I saw you with lots of other girls
And now you try to deny it

[para_rigby]

Burning Like A Flame is the epitome of great Eurobeat writing!

Madison - Baby Be Happy Because I Love You

I have news today I got to say
I've found a little treasure
I did not expect to find my way to happiness

Listen to my calling
Listen to the things I say
Let the message take off
Let me say it clear

"Baby be happy because I love you"
Nobody else as much as I do
I realized it after a sleepless night
Come on! Come on!
"Baby be happy because I love you"
Nobody knows it as well as I do
And it's today that I decide
To let you know
You know? I love you!

It's the best surprise of my whole life
A present in the morning
I look at myself the mirror plays the biggest smile

Another super nice song that I've always loved because of its lyrics
