Concupiscentia
Asphyxia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fear is blind, join my reality
Watch my eyes, awaken your sense
Don't be afraid, don't feel it that way
I need you girl, I need your naked flesh

I remember her frightened face, the face of a lost child
I remember her legs shaking and her eyes, full of fear

*CHORUS*
Bleed for us, achieve your insanity
Confess your sins, mind you're dead for eternity

You've wasted your life in worthless acts
Don't you realize how you held on this compromise?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Asphyxia's song Concupiscentia are dark and intense. The first few lines "Fear is blind, join my reality / Watch my eyes, awaken your sense" suggest that fear is a powerful force that can control us, but by joining someone else's reality, we can awaken our own senses and overcome our fear. The singer then addresses a girl, telling her not to be afraid and that he needs her naked flesh. This line adds to the overall feeling of darkness and intensity, hinting at a sexual element to the song.

The second verse is particularly haunting, with the singer remembering a frightened face and shaking legs. The use of the phrase "lost child" adds to the sense of vulnerability and fear. The chorus continues the theme of fear and insanity, with the lines "Bleed for us, achieve your insanity / Confess your sins, mind you're dead for eternity." The repetition of the word "insanity" reinforces the idea that the singer is trying to lure someone into a dangerous and potentially deadly situation. The final line, "Don't you realize how you held on this compromise?" suggests that the singer is trying to persuade someone to abandon their current life for something more dangerous and exciting, but ultimately that choice could be their downfall.
