Lustmistress
Inner Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thy trembling lord of trivial
Rip my heart to me
The signs of love no longer needed
Everlasting lust
The only air I'm merely breathing
Torn me into dust
The wind will catch my sense of living
Nailed will with your body's trill
Burning ground, fever that will kill
In her mighty affection I'm drown
Even shadows are afraid of her spawn
She rules her selfishness at once
Undressed to use my spirit
Her rigid passion heals it
I'm crumbling down when she's above
Knee my life to thee
I am thy trembling lord of trivial
Rip my heart to me
The signs of love no longer needed
Torn me into dust
The wind will catch my sense of living
Everlasting lust
The only air I'm merely breathing
In her mighty affection I'm drown
Even shadows are afraid of her spawn
My precious flesh's no longer mine
Undressed to rape my spirit
Her rigid passion heals it
Her body's covered with divine
The lyrics of "Lustmistress" by Inner Fear are a haunting reflection of the obsession and addiction of an individual for a person who represents desire and lust. The singer seems to be completely consumed by their passion for the Lustmistress, who they address as a divine entity to whom they have dedicated their life. The singer is willing to give up all they have for this person, including their heart which they ask to be ripped away. The only thing that sustains them is the endless lust they feel for the Lustmistress which has become their air to breathe. The language in the song is sensual and full of intensity, suggesting a powerful attraction that borders on recklessness. The Lustmistress is portrayed as a dangerous presence, someone who rules over her selfishness and can be both alluring and terrifying at once. The final verse has a note of desperation with the singer acknowledging that their flesh is no longer theirs, indicating the extent to which they have given themselves up to this all-consuming relationship.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the theme of addiction through the prism of obsessive lust. The singer cannot resist the Lustmistress even though they acknowledge that the relationship is destroying them. They have lost control of themselves completely and are willing to be brought to their knees for this person. The reference to the wind catching their sense of living is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of existence that is being sacrificed for this all-consuming passion. The song is a haunting portrayal of the dark side of desire and the human psyche's propensity for addiction.
