Passion
Manboy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I promise
I won't make you sad
Look away
I don't want to lie

There's still
A part of me that's pure
Untouched
I offer it to you

Nothing good will come of this

There's not much you can do
Not much you can do
When your passion
Has ran out
There's not much you can do
Not much you can do
When there's no need
To hunger

I could crave a tombstone
With their names on it
As a symbol for an end
Or a new start
A new beginning
A new past
A new tomorrow

If we never
Mention it again
Maybe after a while
No one will remember




Maybe somehow
It will all be undone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Manboy's "Passion" convey a complex blend of emotions and desires. At its core, the song is about holding onto a shred of purity and offering it up to someone else. The singer promises not to cause sadness or deceive, while acknowledging that there is a sense of futility in pursuing passion when it seems to have run out. The lyrics create a portrait of someone struggling to come to terms with their feelings and trying to figure out what the next steps should be.


The lines "nothing good will come of this" and "there's not much you can do" express a sense of despair that is all too relatable in modern times. The song is, in many ways, an ode to the struggle of holding onto hope and finding a way forward, even when things seem to be falling apart. The line "I could crave a tombstone with their names on it" is particularly evocative, suggesting a desire to mark the end of something in order to begin anew. Overall, "Passion" is a deeply introspective and cathartic piece of music that speaks to the common struggles of the human spirit.
