Rush (feat. Ferras)

Katy Perry's song 'Rush (feat. Ferras)' captures the exhilarating and almost intoxicating feeling of new love. The lyrics describe a powerful emotional and physical connection between two people, likening the experience to a euphoric high. The opening lines, 'I kissed your sweet lips / I floated so high,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing the overwhelming joy and excitement that comes with being close to someone special. The world seems to freeze, and the singer feels as if they are on 'cloud nine,' a common metaphor for extreme happiness.

The chorus reinforces this sense of euphoria, comparing the feeling to having something 'crazy' shot into the veins, making the singer feel 'ten feet off the ground.' This metaphor suggests that the love is so powerful it alters the singer's state of mind and body, creating a sensation that is both thrilling and addictive. The repeated line, 'And I don't want to come down,' indicates a desire to stay in this blissful state forever, highlighting the addictive nature of love and the fear of losing that high.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the longing and yearning that often accompany new love. The singer wishes their partner were with them, describing their bed as 'so empty' without them. This longing is further emphasized by the line, 'I'm a junkie over you,' suggesting that the singer is addicted to their partner's presence and the feelings they evoke. The song also touches on the surreal and dreamlike quality of love, with the singer questioning if they are dreaming and needing to 'touch my heart and make sure it's beating.' This blend of euphoria, longing, and surrealism paints a vivid picture of the highs and lows of falling in love.
