Passion
Ecstasy Passion & Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm burning to say
Lovin' you ain't easy 'cause
My pride gets in the way
Words are like butter
Rolling off my lips
Cut like a knife
You know who you are, mm-hmm
Give me a reason to take you back
Give me a reason to share
Give me a reason, 'cause love is in season
But give me a reason to care
I like my freedom, yeah that's my style
My manifesto lullaby
Give me a reason, 'cause love is in season
But give me no reason to cry
There's something in your kiss
That I can't let you go
My heart says yes
My head says no
Passion so cruel
When it's hard to resist
I'm fashionably cool
But it's you that I miss
Give me a reason to take you back
Give me a reason to try
Give me a reason, 'cause love is in season
But give me no reason
My passion's in season
But give me no reason to cry

The words flow smoothly, but their impact is painful, causing the singer to feel like they're sinking battleships. They know who their lover is, but they need a reason to take them back and share their feelings, although they're afraid of getting hurt again. They enjoy their freedom but crave love and passion, without experiencing any reason to cry.
The song outlines the complexity of relationships and the difficulty that comes with it. The passion between two people can sometimes be hard to resist, despite the obstacles that come with it. The singer wants to protect their heart but can't help feeling attracted to their lover. The words express a deep longing for love, but also the fear of being hurt. Ultimately, the decision lies with the singer to either open up to their love or keep protecting their heart.

There's something in my heart
There's something I want to express, deep down inside my heart
That I'm burning to say
That I desperately want to express
Lovin' you ain't easy 'cause
Loving you isn't easy because
My pride gets in the way
My pride prevents me from being able to express my love for you
Words are like butter
Words come easily to me
Rolling off my lips
I can say them without a second thought
Cut like a knife
But sometimes they can be hurtful, like a sharp knife
And now I'm sinking battleships
And sometimes my words can have serious consequences
You know who you are, mm-hmm
I'm talking about you, you know it

My manifesto lullaby
It's my personal philosophy and way of life

That makes it hard for me to let you go
My heart says yes
My heart tells me to be with you
My head says no
But my logical mind struggles with that decision
Passion so cruel
This strong feeling of desire can be painful
When it's hard to resist
When it's difficult to control
I'm fashionably cool
I try to maintain a cool and composed exterior
But it's you that I miss
But on the inside, I really miss you
Give me a reason to try
I want to give our relationship another shot
My passion's in season
I'm feeling strongly about you right now
