Eros
Convictions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This dirty skin, you can't control me. You can't control me.
But these wandering eyes will follow you home.
Flesh to flesh.
Bone to bone.
Your captivating touch, the taste of your lips, it gets me everytime.
Just one more night. I'll make you mine. You get me everytime.
I'm so ashamed. Disgusted with every vain.
But these wandering eyes will follow you home.
Flesh to flesh.
Bone to bone.
Rip off my flesh but keep this heart beating.
Make me whole again.
I am so ashamed. The mistakes that I have made lead me to believe I am nothing at all.
Grace find your way. I'm calling out Your name. Open up my eyes and I promise I will change. Take everything. Take it away. Take everything. Throw it all away.
Take my lust away. Take everything from me.
I'm so ashamed! Break these chains that bound.
The lyrics to Convictions's song Eros explore the theme of sexual temptation and the struggle to overcome it. The singer acknowledges the power of their desire, admitting that their eyes will follow the object of their attraction home. Their longing is physical, but also emotional – they crave intimacy and the taste of the other person's lips. However, underlying this desire is a sense of shame and self-disgust. The singer refers to their "dirty skin" and expresses a desire to be made whole again.
The chorus provides a glimpse of hope for the singer, as they call out to "grace" and pledge to change their ways. They long to be freed from the chains of temptation and the mistakes they have made, suggesting a desire to start anew. The final line of the song ("Break these chains that bound") echoes this sentiment, as the singer pleads for release from their struggles.
Overall, the lyrics to Eros provide a raw and vulnerable perspective on the human experience of temptation and the desire for redemption.
