Dopamine

The song 'Dopamine' by Børns delves into the intoxicating effects of love and desire, likening them to the addictive rush provided by the neurotransmitter dopamine. The lyrics express a deep yearning for the euphoric sensations associated with being in love, or perhaps lust, and the overwhelming need to maintain that high. The repeated line 'Wanna feel that stream of dopamine' serves as a chorus, emphasizing the craving for the emotional and physical pleasure that the presence or thought of a loved one can bring.

The song also touches on themes of temptation and forbidden love, as suggested by the lines 'Keep the forbidden fruit coming my way' and 'You sip what the devil's drinking.' These references create a sense of something alluring yet potentially dangerous or taboo about the relationship. The artist's desire to 'feel your sugar in my face' further illustrates the intense, almost overwhelming sweetness of the connection he feels. The use of the word 'ecstasy' in the lyrics reinforces the idea of an almost otherworldly pleasure that the artist experiences in the presence of the object of his affections.

Børns' musical style often blends elements of indie pop, glam rock, and psychedelic pop, creating a dreamy and ethereal soundscape that complements the theme of 'Dopamine.' The song's hypnotic melody and Børns' falsetto vocals contribute to the feeling of being under a spell or lost in a trance, which mirrors the lyrics' depiction of being under someone's control and the desire to not be released from their influence.
