Luststruck
De̊ǰa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday I take the time to listen
And it seems pretty clear,
You got a system.
Listening to bias take
Geting listless.
I can see the great divide
We're in it.
Look at your big charade
We live it
Forcing us to behave
Like prisoners
Art can be such a curse
It's submission
When you know the only way
Is the system.

Baby it's cruel to us
Baby it's cruel to us.
Denial just fuels the lust
Diluting our hope and trust.

Looking out upon the lines
Of believers
Feels like they're hearing lies
But can't see it
Power is a deadly vice
Make or breaker.
Everyday we're more resigned,
To our maker.

Baby it's cruel to us
Baby it's cruel to us




Denial is just fuels the lust
Diluting our hope and trust

Overall Meaning

In the song "Luststruck" by De̊ǰa, the lyrics seem to describe the feeling of being stuck in a system that is forcing people to behave like prisoners. The singer of the song seems to feel like they are seeing through the facade of the system and they can clearly see the great divide that it is creating. The use of the word 'lust' seems to describe the desire people have to break free from this system and live a life free from it.


The song seems to explore the idea of how power is a deadly vice that can make or break people. The singer sees people around them blindly believing in lies, but being unable to see it. The feeling of helplessness and resignation seem to be a dominant emotion, with people becoming more and more resigned to their fate as the days go by. The singer, however, seems to be aware of the situation and is aware that the only way to break free is by breaking the system.


Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the state of society and the need for people to break free from the systems that have become so dominant. It presents a somewhat bleak and hopeless outlook, but also encourages people to continue fighting for their freedom.
