Description

The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from wontstanddown.muse.mu, which contains basic album info. The song was leaked together with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022.

In Warner's album recap, Euphoria is described as a "lighting bolt rush" of a song.^[3] On Aleks Von Korff's Instagram story, when describing songs through emojis, he used the "devil horns" emoji for this song, hinting that Euphoria'd be a rock-oriented track.^[4] As described by Riff Magazine, "“Euphoria” grows from a dance-rock tune into a fist-pumping classic rock chorus".^[5] Gigwise compared Euphoria to songs like Bliss, Knights of Cydonia and Time Is Running Out. ^[6] Fans also compared the song to Revolt and Get Up and Fight. The synths are reminiscent of “I Feel Love” by Donna Summer, released back in the 70s. Euphoria is the track that combines the Black Holes and Revelation eccentric styles with harder sounds which came from Absolution era.

Instrumentation

Running at 158BPM, Euphoria is a fast-paced song, which features arpeggiated synth lines during the verses, with a fast four-on-the-floor drum beat. It also includes a Knights of Cydonia & Blockades-inspired guitar sound. The pre-choruses follow a very similar note progression as the pre-choruses in Time Is Running Out. The song ditches the electronics during the choruses, which feature just guitar, bass and drums, and have a pop punk tinge to them, akin to songs like Revolt and Get Up and Fight, but also similar to songs like Time Is Running Out.

The song itself is also similar in structure and pace to Crying Shame, with dancey verses and pop-punky choruses.

Lyrics

Shut down
We are growing spiritless If no one cares, then who is gonna save us? Give us euphoria
Worn out Everything will fall apart So shine a light and warm up this heavy heart Give us euphoria
Brooding I need renewing I want satisfaction A gut reaction
Give us euphoria Give us euphoria It's been all work and no play Give us euphoria Give us euphoria I need to numb all the pain
Wake up We're becoming restless Our last hope and only you can save us Give us euphoria Sealed off We are running out of air So start a fire and spice up this love affair Give us euphoria
Brooding I need renewing I need satisfaction A gut reaction
Give us euphoria Give us euphoria It's been all work and no play Give us euphoria Give us euphoria I need to numb all the pain
Euphoria Give us euphoria It's been all work and no play Give me euphoria I need euphoria
I need to numb all the pain...
