Lover
M.I.S.T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all these wounds remain unhealed
Blessed to kill and enslaved
Are all hearts around love's will
Thrilled to start all over again
Crawl down dead lover's lane,
The maze of memories stained
Fear has a name
Written on unhallowed ground
With dead leaves
Those words never fail
To feed the hunger that dreams
Our needs beyond God's grasp
Crawl down dead lover's lane
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Scream out love's name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
Dead lover's lane
Crawl down dead lover's lane,
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Scream out love's name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Right out of my heart
The lyrics of M.I.S.T.'s song "Lover in 2-3" describe the pain and desperation that can come with love. The track opens by stating that despair has a face and wounds remain unhealed, alluding to the scars that love can leave behind. The lyrics explain that love can be both a blessing and a curse, as it can lead to both joy and enslavement. The line "all hearts around love's will" demonstrates the power love has over us and how it can control our actions.
The chorus then introduces the metaphor of crawling down dead lover's lane, where memories are stained and the pain of lost love can be felt. The concept of sucking the blood right out of my heart is utilized, perhaps indicating that the singer of the song feels like they are being drained by their unrequited love. Fear is also depicted in the second verse, with the idea that it has a name written on unhallowed ground and feeds the hunger of our unfulfilled desires.
The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the desperation and pain felt by the singer. The final line of the song "and suck the blood right out of my heart" brings everything together, highlighting the idea of lost love draining and consuming one's emotions and energy.
