Judas Kiss
Masquerade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One love in trust
One need so innocent and plain
One need to lust
And though she's got someone to blame
Her life will never be the same
This enemy, her lost humanity
A cut of love that bleeds with shame
She got a Judas kiss
She got a Judas kiss
One life a kingdom of desire
One life so great
One kiss the sacred and profane
One kiss of fate
All that she wants is to forget
Just getting rid of all regret
And though she's got someone to blame
Will she ever love again
Bleeding with shame
She knows she'll never be the same
Will she ever love again
Bleeding with shame
One love, one need to claim
One life, one kiss of shame, Judas kiss
One love was all she ever got
One love in trust
One love this death defying game
One love one lust, Judas kiss
The song Judas Kiss by Masquerade seems to be about a woman who has been betrayed by someone, possibly a lover or a friend, and is now feeling the pain and shame associated with it. The lyrics suggest that she had only ever received one true love and one trustworthy relationship, but that it was all taken away from her through a single kiss, referred to as the "Judas kiss." This kiss, which represents both sacred and profane desires, seems to have been a turning point in her life, causing her to lose her innocence and humanity.
Despite having someone to blame for her pain, the woman cannot escape the agony of her lost love and is left to bear the shame of her bleeding heart. She desires to forget and move on, but the emotional scars left behind may be too deep to heal. As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the phrase "one love, one need, one life, one kiss of shame" suggesting that this event has defined her life and that she may never fully recover.
Overall, Judas Kiss is a poignant and emotional song about the pain of betrayal and the struggle to move forward in the face of heartbreak.
