Passion
M.O.T.S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This beautiful hell of ours
To the deadliest sin we confess
(Tears of joy fill our eyes)
We are safe where disfigured saints
Cry out their prophecies of doom
My heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor
At the first kiss
the seeds of hatred are sown
Back into darkness we flee
(To tear our hearts out)
We are saved where all faiths fail
Alive inside of our tomb
My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor
My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor
(My heart's a graveyard, baby)
My heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor
(In my arms, you won't sleep safely)
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
Forever more
The lyrics to M.O.T.S's song Passion depict a love affair that is intertwined with the deadliest of sins. The opening line, "It's poetry carved in flesh," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The love between the two individuals is so intense that it is akin to a beautiful hell. The tears of joy that fill their eyes are the result of the passion and lust they share. The disfigured saints crying out their prophecies of doom represent the darker, hidden aspects of the relationship that they cannot leave behind.
As the song progresses, it is revealed that this is not a typical love affair. The seeds of hatred are sown at the first kiss, and they both succumb to their evil desires. The lyrics "My heart's a graveyard, baby, and to evil we make love" reinforce the notion that this love is distorted and unhealthy. The passion between them can only be expressed on their "passion's killing floor," which is a metaphor for the destructive nature of their relationship.
The final lines, "And of lust we are reborn, on our passion's killing floor. Forever more," suggest that they will continue their destructive cycle of passion and pain forever. This song is a powerful exploration of the darker side of love, and how sometimes, it can be difficult to distinguish between love and obsession.
