Frankenstein
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics

A lie he broke and beaten
The singer has been through a lot of turmoil and is now broken because of a lie.

And better have alive
He has risen above the situation and wants to live the best life he can.

My heart is slowly beating
The singer is still alive, but his heartbeat is slow, probably because he is sad and depressed.

Don't leave me here to die
He does not want to be alone, probably because he needs love and company to heal from the hurt.

'Cause I need love (love)
The artist is admitting that he needs love to heal from the past hurt.

Yeah, I need love (love)
He emphasizes that he needs love a lot and confirms it again.

You say that I'm your baby
He is in a relationship where he is called 'baby' or loved by someone.

But I feel like Frankenstein
Despite the love, he feels like his life is like Frankenstein's monster, who was created from dead parts and lived a lonely life away from humans.

I need love
He desperately needs love to feel happy and alive.

I try so hard to please you
The artist is trying to make someone happy in the relationship.

You're never satisfied
That person never seems to be happy or content with whatever the singer does.

Will you ever release me yeah?
He wants to be free from the relationship where none of the efforts he puts into making the other person happy are satisfactory.

I'm tossin' twirls to swine
He is putting in the effort and trying to make the other person happy, but it feels like a waste because they never appreciate it.

Sister, I need love (love)
He is reaching out to someone, probably a friend or a sister-like figure, to help him out of the situation.

The lie that you are leading
He feels like the person he is in a relationship with is leading a lie, pretending to be someone else to please him.

Will never let you shine
That person will never be able to be their true self and shine if they continue to lead a fake life.

Your words are so deceiving
The relationship is built on false promises and deceptions.

But yet they taste like wine
Despite them being false, these words are sweet and addictive like wine.

Can't help yourself from creeping
The partner cannot stop themselves from finding their way back into his life, even if it's toxic and hurtful.

Can't help yourself from lying
The partner still continues to lie, even though the artist knows the truth.

One more day of this shit and I'll lose my mind
He is at the end of his rope and can't take anymore toxicity in the relationship, or he'll lose his mind.

Baby, I need love (love)
He reconnects with his need for love desperately, addressing his beloved.

You said I was your savior
The singer was called a 'saviour' in their relationship; someone who can rescue them from misery.

But I feel like Frankenstein
Despite the title, he feels deconstructed and abandoned like Frankenstein's monster.

The life that you are living
He doesn't like the life the relationship or his partner is leading.

But, I need love (love)
He emphasizes the need for love once again to end the cycles of toxicity and lies in his relationship.

Yeah, I need love (love) sister
He asked for some help in a humorous way, calling the person sister.

Sugar, uh
He uses terms of endearment to address a lover or someone he cares for.

Can you give some
The artist reaches out to someone, requesting their love and asking for help.

I need, I need, I need love
The song ends with the affirmation of the need for love.
