temptation
Lazard Sasha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Temptation's calling:
"Come dance with me my crimson queen"
The siren's singing to me
A song so dark, so sweet

I feel like I'm lost in a dream

(vocalise)

The fever's raging in me
So strong, my flesh grows weak

Possessed by this beauty I see

(vocalise)

In all my life I've never known
A world so shameless and bold
But now, I'm falling
Into the night, into desire
A slave to ecstasy
Slave to ecstasy

The night is calling to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lazard Sasha's "Temptation" evoke a sense of desire, love and the lure of the unknown. The song starts with an invitation from temptation in the form of a siren who summons the singer to dance with her just like a crimson queen. The seductive voice of the siren pulls the singer to an enchanting world with a captivating and intoxicating song that seems both dark and sweet.

The second verse of the song is where the temptation begins to take hold of the singer. The singer is entranced by the beauty of the siren's voice and the world she has taken him to, causing him to be lost in a dream-like state. The fever within him starts raging, and the temptations grow stronger as his flesh grows weak. The singer feels possessed by the beauty he's seeing and losing himself to the pleasures of the night, as he falls into desire and becomes a slave to ecstasy.

The song can be interpreted in several ways. One could interpret it as a man being seduced by a woman, but it could also be interpreted as a person struggling with addiction, as it's common in drug culture to refer to drugs as 'temptations'.
