Sapphire
Larkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fufills my desire
No it flatterns my voice
Makes me feel higher
You're my controller
My faithful revolver
Don't leave me behind
'Cause you're shooting me
Shooting me
Shooting me
Shooting me
Sensation's on fire
Her eyes of sapphire
And it was her choice
Her thoughts they transpire
You're shooting me
Shooting me
Shooting me
Shooting me
You're a bullet from a gun
Shooting holes into my sun
Burning bridges, drowning in the water
You're a bullet from a gun
Shooting holes into my sun
Burning bridges, drowning in the water
You're a bullet from a gun
Shooting holes into my sun
You're a bullet from a gun
The song "Sapphire" by Larkins is about the intense feelings of desire and control that come with being in a toxic relationship. The opening lines "Sensation's on fire, fulfills my desire" show that the singer is feeling a rush of intense emotion that is both overwhelming and enjoyable. The next lines "No it flattens my voice, makes me feel higher" further emphasize the idea that the singer is consumed by their feelings of desire, to the point where it is impairing their ability to express themselves.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Shooting me" four times, which suggests that the singer feels like they are being targeted or attacked by their partner. The lines "You're my controller, my faithful revolver, don't leave me behind" further reinforce this idea, as it shows that the singer is in a subservient position to their partner.
The second verse introduces the object of the singer's desire as having "eyes of sapphire", which adds a layer of mystique and allure to the relationship. However, the line "Her thoughts they transpire" suggests that there is more going on beneath the surface, and that the singer is not entirely sure what their partner is truly thinking or feeling.
Overall, "Sapphire" by Larkins paints a vivid picture of a passionate but dangerous relationship that is characterized by a sense of control and manipulation.
