LUST
♫ The Raveonettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be with you in hell
My sin's not quite seven
Nothing much to tell
Lust I haven't craved
A sainted boy I'm not
I take it to my grave
I ride these ropes alone
Beneath the sulfur sky
Everywhere I roam
Life is one big lie
When the fireball goes down
Out by LA waste
I come into town
But only for a day
If starving in bed means
I pray for you to understand
The man sure is sleek
But lost was my hand
I struggle and I cry
I pounce with no revenge
At least I never lied
Or took the truth to rail
The Raveonettes' song Lust is a dark and brooding exploration of sin, desire, and morality. The opening lines "I fell out of heaven to be with you in hell", sets a tone of torment and temptation. The singer is acknowledging that they have not lived a saintly life but, at the same time, they are not overflowing with sinful experiences either. The lyrics hint at a life of compromise and inner conflict.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more introspective, and the singer delves deeper into the shades of grey that make up their life. The chorus, "Lust I haven't craved, a sainted boy I'm not, I take it to my grave, a side cursed on rot" is a powerful declaration of self-awareness. The singer acknowledges that they are not perfect, but they are not consumed by their desires either. Instead, they have a "side" that is cursed or damaged.
The final verse takes on a more apocalyptic tone, with references to sulfur skies and fireballs. The singer comes into town but only for a day, suggesting that they are a transient figure, never able to find sanctuary anywhere. The closing lines "I struggle and I cry, I pounce with no revenge, at least I never lied, or took the truth to rail" are ambiguous but suggest that despite their failings, the singer holds onto some sense of honesty and integrity, even if it comes at a cost.
Overall, The Raveonettes' Lust is a haunting and evocative song that speaks to the darker side of human nature.

I fell out of heaven
I left a perfect life to be with you in a terrible one
To be with you in hell
I chose to be with you in this difficult and unpleasant situation
My sin's not quite seven
I haven't committed many sins, but I'm not perfect either
Nothing much to tell
My life isn't interesting or exciting
Lust I haven't craved
I haven't been tempted by lust or desire
A sainted boy I'm not

I'll never reveal my secrets or true feelings
A side cursed on rot
I have a dark, cursed side that's decaying
I ride these ropes alone
I face my struggles and challenges by myself
Beneath the sulfur sky
In this dark and unpleasant environment
Everywhere I roam
No matter where I go
Life is one big lie
Everything about life is fake or dishonest
When the fireball goes down
When the sun sets
Out by LA waste
In the desolate area outside of Los Angeles
I come into town
I return to civilization briefly
But only for a day
I don't stay for long
If starving in bed means
If I have to suffer and struggle
I pray for you to understand
I hope you can empathize with my pain
The man sure is sleek
This man I'm with may seem attractive or smooth
But lost was my hand
But he's caused me to lose something important to me
I struggle and I cry
I'm going through a difficult time and I'm emotional about it
I pounce with no revenge
I try to make progress without seeking revenge or payback
At least I never lied
I've always been honest and truthful
Or took the truth to rail
I didn't use the truth as a weapon against others

Lyrics:
Get in my way and try to block me, I'ma show aggression
Slide on your block like Danny Glover with a lethal weapon
I fucked your thot, she gave me top, I guess that's my confession
Got no regrets, I made mistakes, but I learned from my lessons
Trappin' by the stu, villains pull up to the coupe
My car ain't got no roof, thought this shit was bulletproof
I can't feel my face, smokin' on Gorilla Glue
Zoomin' in the coupe, that's the shit I like to do
These is yellow diamonds, shinin' like I'm Pikachu
I'm a boss nigga, get that bag and make the moves
No, I don't like to lose, so I be goin' in, yeah
I'm tryna cop a Benz, yeah, pull up and drop like ten, yeah
You tryna chase the life (what?), well I'm tryna chase the bands, yeah
She wanna fuck with friends, yeah, I got 'em in the trance, yeah
Ay, but now they tell me I switched up
Take this Backwood to the face, then grab my cup
Shorty says she comin' through, she on her way to fuck
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ay, I stack it up, can't get enough
Seen your shorty with you, she look at me and she blushed
I'm a jiggy nigga, I don't take her out for lunch
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ay, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ay, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Not a lot of love
Rollin' in the coupe and she was rollin' off the drugs
Lookin' for the one, girl, you know that I'm the plug
I be booted up with my shooters in the truck
Ay, and broski keep it and it's tucked
Nigga talkin' 'bout it, but he never runnin' up
Put this shit in motion, so I'm never stayin' stuck
Don't be actin' starstruck every time they show you love
Ay, but now they tell me I switched up
Take this Backwood to the face, then grab my cup
Shorty say she comin' through, she on her way to fuck
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ay, I stack it up, can't get enough
Seen your shorty with you, she look at me and she blushed
I'm a jiggy nigga, I don't take her out for lunch
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ay, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ay, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love

@Mr.Lightshine
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved!
(Romans 10:9-13

Get in my way and try to block me, I'ma show aggression

[Chorus]
Ayy, but now they tell me I switched up
Take this Backwood to the face, then grab my cup
Shawty say she comin' through, she on the way to fuck
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ayy, I stack it up, can't get enough
Seen your shawty with you, she look at me and she blush
I'm a jiggy nigga, I don't take her out for lunch
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ayy, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ayy, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
[Verse 2]
Not a lot of love
Rollin' in the coupe and she was rollin' off the drugs
Lookin' for the one, girl, you know that I'm the plug
I be booted up with my shooters in the truck
Ayy, and broski keep it and it's tucked

Ayy, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
Ayy, bitch, not a lot of love
It's a lot of lust, not a lot of love
