Scarlet
In This Moment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you’re everything I want
And I, I’m everything you need
This night is cutting into me
You tie me down, you watch me bleed
And we risk everything tonight

I, I am the misery you crave
And you, you are my faithful enemy
This hunger seems to feed on me
A sacred sin, a dying breed
And we risk everything

They can never know just what we’ve done
They can never know just what we’ve done
They will never know all the blood we’ve shed
The scarlet cross we bear until the bitter end
And they, they can never know just what we’ve done

Nothing good will come of this
I’m screaming out with my last aching breath
I’ll be yours until my dying day
But I can never see you

We, we knew how this would end
And we knew we’d die before we lived
But I’ll never let you go
I’ll never let you go

They will never know all the blood we shed
The scarlet cross we bear until the bitter end
And they, they can never know just what we’ve done
I will never let you go
They can never know just what we’ve done
I will never let you go





We knew how this would end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Scarlet" by In This Moment depict a forbidden and dangerous love between two individuals who are fully aware of the risks they are taking. The first two lines of the song show a strong desire and dependence on each other, with the idea that one person satisfies everything the other needs. The metaphorical reference to the cutting and bleeding seems to indicate that the relationship is causing pain or harm, and the act of watching someone bleed could be seen as evidence of the power dynamic at play.


The next lines further explore the idea of desperately wanting something or someone that is considered wrong or taboo. The terms "misery" and "faithful enemy" suggest that the relationship is not only risky but also complicated and possibly even destructive. The following lyrics allude to the shame and guilt associated with such a relationship and the need to keep it hidden from public view. The "scarlet cross" mentioned in the chorus could be seen as a symbol of the burden or punishment that the two lovers carry as a result of their actions.


The last stanza refers to the inevitability of the situation, with the recognition that they were aware of the potential consequences from the beginning. The final line, "I will never let you go," reveals the depth of their attachment and commitment to each other, despite the danger it poses. Overall, the song conveys a sense of desperation, passion, and tragedy associated with a love that is considered taboo or forbidden.

I associate this song with a passionate affair or a forbidden love. They risk everything by being together, but as bad as they are for each other, there is something within the other person the other craves and can't resist; no one can know what transpired between them. They knew nothing could would come from giving into their desires and knew it would end because there's no future, but even still, there's something about each other they just can't let go of.

@ratdancerstonedeathwalker1702

Rebecca Jimenez that is a joker and harley quin relationship......

@rebeccajimenez7760

ratdancer stonedeathwalker Haha true!

@ratdancerstonedeathwalker1702

Rebecca Jimenez but people dont realise that...its a really abusive relationship as u do research from cartoons to the movie u will see how volient the relationship is....give it a try u will see what i mean but would be a cool video of them tho.....

@rebeccajimenez7760

ratdancer stonedeathwalker oh trust me, I know (I read the comics and watched the shows, too). That's why when couples are trying to be cute like, "I'm his Harley and he's my Joker," I roll my eyes and think, "Uhm, that's not a good thing or an appropriate comparison unless he's manipulating you and slapping you around with you crawling back to him."

@ratdancerstonedeathwalker1702

Rebecca Jimenez for sure lol

Some say the worst kind of love is unrequited love, but to me it has always been that which brings the worst out in both; that kind of love that forces you to compromise your deepest held principles and threatens to turn you into something you despise.
