Abyss of Addiction
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for lust, thirst for sex
The oldest business, in this world
Shows itself, a whole night long
She stands here, waiting for, another John
One more night, it doesn't count, anyway
No way out, a stranded girl, in red light
Seductive syringe
Those old false friends, they're gone, left her alone
A big car stops, an old man inside, ugly and fat
"How much is it?", "I'm rich", "So let's go!"
The next morning, you'll buy, another ration
Having no hope, my time is timeless
Worthless bulk, only for earning money
Used to be, a manhandled person
Lost the pride, of a lighthearted girl
Seductive syringe
