Passion
Fleshgore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't go anywhere
I can't say anything
Didn't I tell you?
Thou you believe in suffering

At first I thought
It was my fault
My problem, something

Wrong with only me

But then I realized
I'm just a victim
Nothing more and nothing less
As well as everything
I touch, I see, I bless

I can't just figure out
Is chaos a way-out?
Starting from the mess inside
Growing fear all around.

I can't make up my mind
Vindication saves my ground?

A passion which should rise above
Now I feel starts getting out

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Fleshgore's song "Passion" explore complex themes of despair, confusion and introspection. The singer reveals their feeling of being trapped, both physically and mentally. It appears that they are unable to move or express themselves, which is causing them to feel frustrated and defeated. The repetition of "I can't" highlights their sense of helplessness and powerlessness. They recognize that they believe in suffering and perhaps they have brought it upon themselves.

The tone changes in the second verse as the singer becomes more self-aware. They realize that they are not solely to blame for their problems and are, in fact, a victim of their circumstances. This realization brings some relief to the singer as they can let go of some of the guilt they have been carrying. However, their internal battle continues as they struggle to make sense of the chaos around them. They question whether vindication can save them, and they wonder if the passion they once had for life is slipping away.

Overall, these lyrics portray a sense of defeat and confusion, but they also suggest a glimmer of hope as the singer starts to recognize their situation and question their perspective. "Passion" is a song that invites the listener to reflect on their own struggles and perspectives.
