Lusty
Lamb Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All alone
In this heat my thoughts
Start to wander

On my lonesome in this world
My hands start to long for
Your skin
My mouth starts to long for

Your kiss
Your kiss

And the sun burns my skin
But it's outside and in
It's burning
Only you can soothe me
Come cool me down

I want you in my reach
Oh, the things I'd do to you
I touch you when I close my eyes

And the sun burns my skin
But it's outside and in
I'm burning
Only you can soothe me
Come cool me down

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooo, ooo,ooo, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

And the sun burns my skin
But it's outside and in
I'm burning
Only you can soothe me
Come cool me down

Oh, the sun burns my skin
But it's outside and in
I'm burning

Only you can soothe me
Come cool me down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lamb's song "Lusty" convey a sense of longing, desire, and a yearning for sensual connection. The opening lines "All alone in this heat, my thoughts start to wander" suggest a sense of restlessness, perhaps a kind of sexual desire that is starting to build within the person. The following lines convey the subject's desire for another person, their longing for physical contact: "My hands start to long for your skin, my mouth starts to long for your kiss."

This physical desire is reinforced by the repeated line "And the sun burns my skin, but it's outside and in, I'm burning. Only you can soothe me, come cool me down." The heat of the sun could be a metaphor for the passion and intensity of the desire, but also for the sense of discomfort or unease that comes with being consumed by it. This is a plea for the other person to come and bring them relief, to quench the flames of passion that are burning within.

Overall, the lyrics to "Lusty" capture a sense of yearning and desire in a way that is both sensual and slightly edgy. The repetition of lines reinforces this feeling of building tension, and the dynamic shifts in the music throughout the song mirror the emotional journey of the subject. It's a song that is both musically and lyrically sophisticated, with a sense of complexity and nuance that makes it a powerful work of art.
