Temptation
Moby feat. Laura Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A gateway to hope
Just like a feeling
I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me
To see you this way
They traded by wordsI'd never heard
To hard to say them
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Each way I turn
I know I'll always try
To break the circle
That has been placed round me
From time to time
I find our lost
Meaning
That was urgent
To myself
I don't believe
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the groundTonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
And I have never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
And I have never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone, to find my soul desire to go home
And I never met anyone quite like you before
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone, to find my soul desire to go home
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

I feel like I am going in circles and don't want to fall down
And I never met anyone quite like you before

I am searching for what truly satisfies me and brings me back to where I belong
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
I feel lost and disoriented, and I don't want to fall down
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

No matter what direction I go, I don't want to lose my footing
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
You are a one-of-a-kind person that I have never encountered before
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
This is the final chance to make things right and avoid regret
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
This is the final moment to take action and not miss the opportunity

i love this song so much right now. it reminds me of walking alone through a deserted city late at night, and snow begins to fall softly. and then being at an empty subway station and riding somewhere alone. i love it:)

The moment I knew there was hope for Damon Salvatore.
@eatamymeata
Damon Salvatore's sounds like a damn fine place to get a steak. Forget the opening reviews. I have hope for Damon Salvatore's!
