Lucrezia Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Official Lyrics of the song from the booklet: Love is a drug and you are my cigarette Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes I'm feeling sick I got to medicate myself I want your love don't try to stop me Can't get enough, still hanging off me Your guilty heart don't let it break you And if you pray well no one's gonna save you Like everyone that you fear and everything you hold dear Even the book in your pocket You are the sun and the light you are the freedom I fight God will do nothing to stop it The origin is you You're the origin of love Love is a drug and you are my cigarette Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes I'm feeling sick I've got to medicate myself Well if god is a priest and the devil a slut Well there's a reason for nothing Like every word that you preach Like every word that you teach With every rule that you breach You know the origin is you From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 padre nostrum deus machismo padre deus deus machismo dio è madre deus machismo deus esso santo spirito or: dio sessus santo sprito a mix of Spanish, Italian and Latin but he did confirm it was, acoustic version: Padre deus, deus machismo Madre deus, deus machismo dio è madre deus machismo deus sesso santo spirito Original Version: Madre Deus Deus Machismo Dio de Madre Deus Machismo Madre de Deus santo spirito Like stupid Adam and Eve they found their love in a tree God didn't think they deserved it He taught them hate taught them pride Gave them a leaf made them hide Let's push their stories aside You know the origin is you From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know is you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 You're the origin of love Some love’s a pill and some love is a candy cane It tastes so sweet but leaves you sick with pain Your love is air I breathe it in around me Don't know it's there but without it I'm drowning Love, you're the origin of love Thank god that you found me Thank god that you found me Love! Thank god you found me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerMoment1608 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I wasn't so fond of the idea of translating same parts in another language. But I must say that it sounds really good in Italian - much more syllables, but somehow more rhythmic because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nollaig Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I love this song so much. It's amazing. Took me a while to listen to the lyrics properly, but once I did I realised how brave a song it is, and how sincere. I also adore the foreign language bit with the autotune haha, it's AMAZING. I hate autotune usually. Mika makes it amazing. The whole song is a bit of an epic, really, despite being only 4.5 mins long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerMoment1608 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The numbers in the artwork, does anyone have a clue what they mean? They are only fantasy numbers Same with the chemical formula. That one is total nonsense. Alone the 4-binding H... When I look at this artwork as art, then I really love it - it's my favorite of the new ones.

Oh too bad, I'd hope they would mean something I understand you, never looked closely at the chemical formula, but now I get your point, don't think they got anything right at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I call it the Meredith Grey School of Acting that seems to be so popular with central female characters in TV today. Happiness: Anger: Embarrassment: Shock: Lust: Agony: Elation: Fear: Known as "dull surprise" on the tv tropes website and practiced by mediocre actors the world over But I don't think this video is that complicated of a story -- in fact, it strikes me as fairly straightforward. As I said several pages ago, I believe the woman is in a clinic-type setting getting treatment for an addiction. To me, it appears to be behavior modification using aversion therapy -- they are forcing her to keep her eyes open and watch videos of her good times with her lover, and I'm assuming at the same time they are somehow either medicating her or creating negative feelings in her so that she associates what were formerly happy memories with those bad feelings, thus breaking the addiction to love. It is very "A Clockwork Orange," which, if you've read the book or seen the film, used a similar treatment to break the protagonist of his thug-like ways -- they gave him drugs to make him feel nauseous while making him watch violent films, so that he "learned" new behavior. Anyhow... clearly this treatment hasn't worked on the heroine. She sneaks out of the clinic to return to her lover. She's not been cured of her addiction to him at all. And they and their lovely dog walk off into the sunset together to live happily addicted ever after. At least, that's my interpretation of the director's interpretation. And like Nina, it really affected me -- definitely moved me to tears. I've actually only watched it the one time so far... but the images really stick with me. Holy Smoke, is that what's going on? See, I've never watched "A Clockwork Orange" and I had no idea what the hell they were doing to the girl's face or why they were making her watch her private time with her lover. No issues with the nudity from me, just really dislike the images of her in the clinic. And I was distracted by wondering how they had footage of her relationship to make her watch it... Now that I've read this thread and seen some of the live versions of the song, I understand a little better why some people on here seem to be so in love with it. But I still maintain that the studio version is just blah. I hope it grows on me, but there is no hook that's going to make me walk around humming it incessantly.
