No Guilt in Pleasure
MS MR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has heard from me in weeks
Wrapped up in the chaos
Come too far to recede
Try not to feed the fear within
The moon lives in the lining of your skin
Vice induced dream
This abandoned abyss
There should be no should
No waste no fear
No guilt in pleasure here
Treasure that's not found but made
Who are we to stay away?
A strange game
Where the only winning move is to engage
These veteran beasts appear to know best
Rotten youth with no regrets
No cowards here
Too bold to submit
Season after season we still can't quit
But it always ends too soon
Wrapped up in rapture
It's just me and you
There should be no should
No waste no fear
No guilt in pleasure here
Treasure that's not found but made
Who are we to stay away
There should be no should
No waste no fear
No guilt in pleasure here
Treasure that's not found but made
Who are we to stay away
Sin it seems will seek you out
Lure you in and break you down
And when the day is done
These invisible shells become whole for once
Found myself in others here
What's left to fear
There should be no should
No waste no fear
No guilt in pleasure here
Treasure that's not found but made
Who are we to stay away?
A strange game
Where the only winning move is to engage
Who are
Who are we to
Who are
Who are we to
Who are
Who are we to stay away?
Who are
Who are we to
Who are
Who are we to
Who are
Who are we to stay away?
The lyrics of "No Guilt in Pleasure" by MS MR suggest a freeing and liberating perspective on pleasure and indulgence. The opening lines describe how the singer has isolated themselves from the outside world, indulging in "chaos" and "sinful scenes" that are "vice induced dreams" of "free bodies being". This suggests a sort of hedonistic pleasure-seeking that is looked down upon by society.
However, the chorus challenges this perspective, insisting that there should be "no guilt in pleasure here". The singer asks "Who are we to stay away?" from such pleasures, suggesting that it is arbitrary and self-punishing to deny oneself pleasure. They declare that pleasure can be a "treasure that's not found but made".
The second verse introduces the idea of "veteran beasts" and "rotten youth with no regrets", who are "too bold to submit" and "still can't quit" this lifestyle. This suggests that the singer has found a community of like-minded individuals who also reject societal norms and embrace pleasure.
The final lines of the song declare "Who are we to stay away?", repeating the core message of the song. The bridge hints at the idea that indulgence may ultimately lead to self-discovery and empowerment, as the singer "found [themselves] in others here" and questions "What's left to fear?"
Overall, "No Guilt in Pleasure" encourages the listener to question the societal messages that shame pleasure-seeking and instead embrace the idea that pleasure can be a source of empowerment and self-discovery.
