Euphoria
Horror Movie Soundtrack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Teeth like
Hot coals
My eyes deceive my soul
God spoke to me so gently
"Son you're not alone. I'll show you for a small fee"

But the world was not enough for you
You wanted more
So you reached into the pockets
Of a man
On a bed
That a dead man lived in
Until you told him he could not afford euphoria

You frighten me by showing me these things
Like the end of the world
And places I'd never want to be
And say, "Trust in me or die"
How could I
When all you do is frighten me?
You scare the Hell out of me
You scare the Death out of me

Religion is always in the control business, and so they created this fiery place which has
Quite literally, scared the hell out of a lot of people

But wait a minute, you're saying that Hell
The idea of a place under the earth or somewhere where you're tormented
For an eternity is actually an invention of the church?

Oh yes. The church doesn't like for people to grow up
The people don't need to be born again, they need to grow up
They need to accept their responsibilities for themselves in the world

Up in the light
There is a blindness
That will consume
Your soul
Down below
The embers burn
The dead will suffer
Because he said so

What do you make of the theology these days in America which is that
There is one guaranteed way not to go to hell, and that is to accept jesus as your personal savior

Every church I know claims that we are the true church
That they have some ultimate authority; we have the infallible pope, we have the inherit bible
The idea that the truth of God can be bound in any human system
By any human creed, by any human book, is almost beyond imagination for me

But the world was not enough for you
You wanted more
So you reached into the pockets
Of a man
On a bed
That a dead man lived in
Until you told him he could not afford euphoria
But that was not enough for you
You need control
So you cut down nonbelievers
And their mothers
And their sisters!
The children run
Until you told them
They were not alone
You hold their hand

And they say
"I'll come with you
Till it's me up on that bed




I will wait until I'm dead
To know that lies are all you said"

In their response


"I'll come with you
"I will accompany you


Till it's me up on that bed
Until I find myself in the same vulnerable state


I will wait until I'm dead
I will patiently endure until my demise


To know that lies are all you said"
Only then will I realize the extent of your deceitfulness

I actually binged the 2 seasons and was so surprised at how accurate Rue portrays mental illness and substance abuse. Zendaya is a phenomenal actress

@wintab9383

yessss

@Morih3i

Ridiculously talented she is. Everything just connects in a mental, physical, and spiritual blend type of way. I've never been so impressed and understood. Huge weight off my shoulders.
