Mayah Camara & Sebastian Gampl's “Accelerate” spangles like the reflection of chrome on pavement as the background chords create heat and Ultraboss’ electric guitar blazes, crying with ardent need as the percussion erupts. As the accelerative rhythm evokes a car eating up the pavement, Mayah Camara's voice is like melted caramel infused by an almost overwhelming attraction and Sebastian Gampl's synth emanates noonday luminosity.
Ultraboss’ guitar slices like an engine note howling into wide open spaces while Mayah Camara captures unmitigated desire with her sweet, affecting vocals. Synth brightness skips as the growling guitar summons speed and thrilling passion as chimes flicker like noon day sun. The entire track pauses before erupting into blurring velocity again and the vocals fill me with fervent need, summoning ferocious craving.
The guitar surges with untamed strength as Mayah Camara uses every bit of her forceful voice to propel the song with pleasure seeking power. Twinkling notes glint along with the chanted words, building up tension that’s released in a flood as Ultraboss’ guitar solo cascades with flaming desire before coming to an end.
Although the main character knows that the song's subject wants to "get loose the way we do on the highway" and that he always chooses what they'll do, this time she wants it her way because "I haven't seen ya, baby I missed ya." It's been a long time since they've seen each other and "I'm feeling really weak with you standing real close it's hard to resist ya."
One touch from the song's subject and the protagonist can barely speak as she asks him, "shall we take to the floor and play a little Twister?" He makes her feel so hot that she thinks she's running a fever. The excitement is brimming over because everybody is out and they can "go crazy like we're hitting the town” while she makes it feel like a playground. She goes on to say, "stand up to attention for a shakedown!”
The storyteller points out that, "you know the way that we get down, gonna have you spinning around." She continues, "it's like burning leather, like when the tyres hit the ground" because when they get together there's no telling how they'll get down. She says, “in the night when the sparks fly, when things activate, we accelerate." She wants to stay at home, all alone with him and do what they desire without interruption.
Telling the songs subject to that, "in the pleasure dome, I’m gonna to make your body sing." She goes on to say that there'll be nothing but ecstasy when they get together and the flame is "so high like a match on gasoline.” It feels so good that he raises her blood pressure and it's "like a shot of dopamine." She concludes, "I'll be the student, you'll be the professor, only room for two, just you and me."
