Divine
Joyless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hide, only to defy you
Take away the only love inside you
I see the face through everyone
Inside I've just begun!
You think I'm out to scare you
I'm only out to prepare you for when you stop and turn around
Your body's going down!
You're gonna waste your time,
Your life will soon be mine,
You're definitely one of a kind, and
You're suffering 'cause of me it's divine

Tell me why you never liked me
Tell me why it is you fight me
Pull down and wait for the perfect time to take what's rightfullymine
You think they're dumb to defy me
You said your dumb will defy me
You weigh your dumb on anyone
Oh well . . .

You're gonna waste your time,
Your life will soon be mine,
You're definitely one of a kind, and
You're suffering 'cause of me it's divine

You know what, Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?!
Fuck no! I'm better than you!
(x8)

You're gonna waste your time,
Your life will soon be mine,
You're definitely one of a kind, and
You're suffering 'cause of me it's divine

Did you really think you'd beat me at my own game?!




You try to see what you got
Me ripping at your brain!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joyless's song "Divine" speak to the idea of power and control, particularly within relationships. The singer seems to be saying that they have been misunderstood and underestimated, perhaps even underestimated by their lover, and that they have the power to control and dominate them. The repetition of the line "You're suffering 'cause of me it's divine" seems to emphasize the singer's belief in their own superiority, and their pleasure in causing pain to others.


The beginning of the song sees the singer hiding and defying their lover, indicating that they have a hidden power or agenda. They seem to be using this power to take away the love their lover once had for them, and to revel in the suffering their domination is causing. The song also touches on the idea of jealousy and competition, as the singer asks why their lover never liked them and accuses them of fighting them. Overall, "Divine" seems to be a dark exploration of the ways in which power dynamics play out in relationships.

He described the tunnel
He described the light
He described her age

As the one who came before him
As he described her dance
Of a woman he undressed and paid

Divine, divine. divine
Divine, divine. divine
Divine
