Passion
A.S.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This beautiful hell of ours
To the deadliest sin we confess
(Tears of joy fill our eyes)
We are safe where disfigured saints
Cry out their prophecies of doom
My heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor
At the first kiss
the seeds of hatred are sown
Back into darkness we flee
(To tear our hearts out)
We are saved where all faiths fail
Alive inside of our tomb
My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor
My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor
(My heart's a graveyard, baby)
My heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor
(In my arms, you won't sleep safely)
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
Forever more
The lyrics of A.S.M.'s song "Passion" are dark and intense, filled with allusions to sin, evil, and death. The first line "It's poetry carved in flesh" sets the tone for the entire song, as if the singer is describing an artistic masterpiece made out of something gruesome and macabre. The second line "This beautiful hell of ours" suggests that the characters in the song might be enjoying their own twisted version of reality, where pain, suffering and sinful desires reign supreme. The third line "To the deadliest sin we confess" implies guilt and a sense of shame, but at the same time, it hints at the addictive and irresistible nature of the sin they are committing.
The chorus of the song, which repeats twice, paints a picture of a dystopian world where love and sex are synonymous with death and danger. The phrase "On our passion's killing floor" creates an image of a battlefield, where the characters are fighting for their lives, but they are also getting pleasure from the fight. The singer's heart is described as "a graveyard", a place of death and decay, but also a place of passion and desire. The last line of the chorus "And of lust we are reborn" suggests that the characters are trapped in a cycle of violence and passion that they cannot escape from.
The verses of the song deal with the aftermath of the characters' actions. The first verse talks about the "seeds of hatred" that are sown with the first kiss, suggesting that the characters are not only inflicting physical harm on each other but also emotional damage. The second verse describes the characters as being "alive inside our tomb", implying that they are trapped in their own world of sin and cannot escape. Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the destructive nature of desire, sex, and violence.
