Temptation
The lyrics of Dearly Beheaded's song Temptation seem to be about the strong pull of desire and temptation, even when it goes against what one knows to be right. The first two lines ask if you can feel the blood running through your veins and the magic in the air, which suggests an intense moment of attraction or arousal. However, the following lines warn that giving in to that temptation will lead to betrayal and turning away from what is right.
The chorus repeats the word "temptation" multiple times, emphasizing the theme of desire that runs through the song. The lyrics seem to suggest that every time the singer looks at the object of their desire or sees them do something, they are tempted to give in to their feelings, even though they know it will lead to negative consequences. The second verse adds a layer of mysticism to the song, asking if one knows the meaning of eternal life and the secrets of the night. This hints at a more supernatural or mythical aspect to the pull of desire.
Overall, the lyrics of Temptation are evocative and intense, painting a picture of a powerful attraction that is simultaneously alluring and destructive.
