Give to You
Contagion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sin gives me peace
Flesh marks the way
Hate drives your eyes
Hell tears away

Wash away the mind
Rip deep inside
Tear apart for me
Exploit your agony

Give your pain to me
Fight the ecstasy
Exquisite pain inside
Blind forever mine

It's what you give to me
It's what I give to you
It's what you want from me
It's what I take from you

Sin drives my pleasure
Flesh marks the way
Hate drives your eyes
Hell tears away

Give your flesh to me
Fight your ecstasy
Drive your pain inside
Fight your begging mind

Flesh to me
Take from me

It's what you get from me
It's what I give to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Contagion's song Give to You suggest that the singer is committing acts of pleasure that society considers sinful. The sin gives the singer peace, and they see flesh as the way to indulge in their desires. The eyes of the person receiving the singer's actions are filled with hate, and the experiences of the two characters are tearing them apart. The lyrics then suggest that the singer and the person they're singing to are entwined in a cycle of giving and taking pain and pleasure from each other. The singer is asking the listener to give their pain to them, fight the emotions that come with it, and enjoy the exquisite pain that they receive in return. They then sing that it is what they give each other and what they want and take from each other.


The lyrics of this song create a powerful image of two people seeking pleasure in ways that go beyond social norms. The song suggests that the person receiving the pleasure is not entirely comfortable with the situation but is driven by an inner desire to experience the pleasure and pain that comes with it. The lyrics suggest that there is a willingness to enter into this type of relationship on both sides, even though it could be damaging to both parties.
