Envy
Blue Stone Lyrics

The lyrics to "Envy," by Blue Stone, speak to the inner turmoil and strife that one may experience when faced with the temptation and longing for another person. The opening lines, "I'm drawn to you, I can feel your desire / Darkness falls, I can't turn back," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer acknowledges that they are drawn to this person despite knowing that it may not be the right decision. They are unable to turn away from the pull of desire that they feel towards this other individual.

Further on in the song, the lyrics speak to the intense longing that the singer feels for this person. They want to "satisfy the hunger, satisfy the need," and take two breaths with this person. The singer describes the moment as one where "the world is sleeping," and everything is quiet and still around them. They want to get lost in the moment with this other person and experience the intimacy and love that they crave.

However, the lyrics also showcase the pain and guilt that can come with giving into temptation. The line, "One lie only lasts one night / Sleep, my love, now sleep," speaks to the fact that the moment may not last, and the consequences of their actions may catch up with them. The singer is aware that this is not a sustainable solution, but they cannot resist the pull towards the other person. Despite the challenges and potential consequences, the song ultimately concludes with the idea that "together, our love can breathe." The singer believes that as long as they have this other person, they can find a way to make it work and experience the bliss of their love.
