Rubella is a contagious viral infection, usually spread through direct contact with the saliva or mucus of an infected person. It causes a distinctive red rash and swelling in lymph nodes, among other symptoms. This song uses metaphor to compare infatuation with “catching” the disease.
I'm inflamed with desire
And it's spreading like wildfire
She doesn't know it, but she'll soon be mine
It's just a question of time
Rubella
I'm insanely obsessed
And I simply will not rest
She doesn't know it yet, but she's the one
And I won't stop until I'm done
Rubella
And the heart that she has stolen
Has now swollen to twice its natural size
I've lost six pounds since I laid eyes on her
Rubella
I'm in love with a girl
She's infected my whole world
She doesn't know it, but she's inside me
And now I've gone completely
Rubella
She explodes like a fist
And she burns from the first kiss
I haven't told her, but she's all mine now
I knew somehow I'd catch her
Rubella, Rubella, Rubella
Rubella, Rubella, Rubella
