Innocence Lost
Erik Hassle feat. Tinashe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Streets on fire
Been up for days
Under her spell
She takes me higher
Than anything, I've ever been

Yeah, all this shit can change (always)
All this shit can change
She's my one desire
Stronger than anything, I've ever felt

When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don't need all her loving, she punish me
Then she's all gone
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don't need all her loving
Yeah, she's all gone

Melting pavements
She looks at me, fevered dream
You can't save me
She's everything, my concrete queen

Ooh, all this shit you can change (always)
All this shit you can change
She takes me higher
Than anything, I've ever been

When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don't need all her loving, she punish me
Then she's all gone
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don't need all her loving
Yeah, she's all gone

You so high deep in secrets
I wear your crown of thorns
With the thickets
All your promises
You took my innocence
I can't go back again
You made me a believer
I wear your crown of thorns cause you

Touched on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don't need all her loving, she punish me
Then she's all gone
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb




And when I don't need all her loving
Yeah, she's all gone

Overall Meaning

The song "Innocence Lost" by Erik Hassle Ft. Tinashe is a tale of a dangerous love affair that takes the singer to new heights but also leaves him vulnerable and addicted. The opening lines, "Streets on fire, been up for days, under her spell" sets the tone for the lyrics to come, suggesting that he is caught up in a whirlwind of passion and illicit behavior. He describes her as taking him higher than anything he's ever experienced before, but also acknowledges the risk involved, saying that "all this shit can change."


The chorus emphasizes the addictive nature of the relationship, with the singer admitting that he becomes "dumb dumb dumb" when she touches him but also that she punishes him when he tries to resist her. He also acknowledges that she is all-consuming, saying that "she's everything, my concrete queen." The second verse builds on this theme, with the singer describing the way that his lover looks at him like a "fevered dream" and how he is unable to resist her even though she is dangerous.


The bridge of the song provides a haunting coda to the lyrics, with the singer describing how his lover has taken his innocence and how he can never go back again. The line "I wear your crown of thorns cause you touched on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb" suggests that he is both a victim and a willing participant in this dangerous love affair.


Overall, "Innocence Lost" is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of addiction and love, and how the two are often intertwined.
