Sold
Mono Chrome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each time that we're near - we break new bounds and glory
If you don't hurt you're blessed by the sun
With anything you want
And that's all to me - that you radiate
Did you sell your soul how long ago, how long ago?
Sell your soul to me let it radiate my light
I'll hold you down long enough so you can't fight
It's like no ones left, bruised or black and golden
And breathed in these lips, every doubt goes nowhere
I'll reach your lungs, if it takes me along
I'll give you anything you want
And that's all to me, you radiate
Held you down long enough so you can't fight
Sell you soul to me let it radiate my light
They've held you down oh long enough so you can't fight
Sell you soul to me
If you don't stop me, I'll wake by the sun
With everything you want
And that's all to me you radiate
I'll hold you down long enough so you can't fight
Sell your soul to me, Let it radiate my light
Held you down long enough oh you can't fight
Sell your soul to me
The lyrics of Mono Chrome's song 'Sold' tell the story of someone who is willing to do anything to possess the object of their affection. They describe a relationship that is all-consuming, both physically and emotionally. The singer compares their love to a "screen kiss," a moment of intimacy that is disconnected from reality. They feel that every doubt they have is "exploded" when they are near the person they desire. This suggests that their love is intense and all-consuming.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful. The singer asks the other person to sell their soul, to allow themselves to become completely consumed by their love. They want to "radiate" the other person's light, to control them completely. The repetition of the phrase "sold your soul" reinforces the idea that this is not a healthy or equal relationship.
The second verse continues the same theme, describing the other person as "bruised or black and golden." This suggests that they are damaged in some way but also beautiful. The singer is willing to give the other person anything they want, to possess them completely. The repetition of the phrase "held you down long enough so you can't fight" is particularly troubling, suggesting that the singer is using their power to control the other person.
Overall, the lyrics of Mono Chrome's song 'Sold' are powerful and disturbing. They tell the story of a love that is all-consuming and unequal, where one person holds all the power.
