Rub Me Raw
Android Lust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you I met
I don't know how
My reasons have failed
This thing I've allowed
Your crystal fey heart
It's easy to crack
So I tread with care
Lest I come under attack

Won't you smother me till I am sick of you
Crush me till I scream for you
Rub me till I bleed for you
Rub me raw

I am dizzy with speed
Split in two
I am sewn by a thread
And stuck with glue
My fingers they stroke
The skin of angels
I am burned by their heat
I was marked before I fell

Won't you smother me till I am sick of you
Crush me till I scream for you
Rub me till I bleed for you
Rub me raw
Burn me till I beg for you
Strip me so I sink in you




Rub me till I bleed for you
Rub me raw

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Android Lust's song "Rub Me Raw" suggest a powerful and overwhelming desire for someone or something that leaves the singer feeling split in two, dizzy with speed and marked before they even fell. The opening lines reveal that the singer is uncertain about their own reasons for being drawn in, indicating that this desire may be irrational or impulsive. The singer goes on to describe the vulnerability of the person or thing that they desire, likening them to a "crystal fey heart" that is easy to crack. The singer acknowledges the dangers of approaching this person or thing too forcefully, but still craves the intensity of the experience.


Throughout the song, the desire communicated by the singer becomes increasingly intense, culminating in the repeated refrain of "Rub me till I bleed for you/Rub me raw." The use of violence and pain in the lyrics suggests a sort of masochism, with the singer seeking to be overwhelmed by the object of their desire. The imagery of "burning" and "marking" also suggest a kind of branding or ownership, as if the singer desires to be permanently marked by their experience. Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex and intense desire that may be difficult to control or understand.

And held in place by adhesive


My fingers they stroke
I can't help but touch


The skin of angels
The skin of something pure and divine


I am burned by their heat
It feels intense and overwhelming

I was destined to be affected by this even before it happened


Burn me till I beg for you
Burn me until I can't help but beg for more


Strip me so I sink in you
Expose me so much that I can't help but be consumed by you
