It's a Sin
Nea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You…you're a stranger in the night!
You…you're the darkness in the light!
You… yeah you – keep me holding with your eyes!
You…yeah you – you are burning in my mind!

This strange words I've never heard
Glowing eyes – No resist
This I'd never sense, never sense before

It is a sin – I'm dancing with the devil
It is a sin – I'm dancing all night long
It is a sin – I'm dancing with the devil
It is a sin – this dance is very strong

I…yes I slide into a sin
I…I will pray for help to win
I…oh I – I'm afraid of mental scars
I – oh I – will not play your murky farce

This strange scent I've never smelt




Very stale – No resist
This I'd never sense, never sense before (ohoho)

Overall Meaning

Nea's "It's a Sin" is a song that explores the idea of temptation and the dangers that come with it. The lyrics suggest that the singer is being tempted by someone who is mysterious and alluring, who draws them in with their smoldering eyes and the way they seem to shine even in the darkness. The singer realizes that their attraction is leading them down a path of sin, and yet they're finding it hard to resist the pull of the temptation. They feel like they're dancing with the devil, and they're afraid of the mental scars that might result from it.


The lyrics of the chorus, "It is a sin - I'm dancing with the devil / It is a sin - I'm dancing all night long / It is a sin - I'm dancing with the devil / It is a sin - this dance is very strong," suggest that the singer recognizes the danger of the situation they're in, but they also can't help but be drawn back in. They're caught in a cycle of temptation and sin, and it's not clear whether they'll be able to break free.


Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of temptation and the allure of sin. The lyrics and melody both convey a sense of darkness and danger, and the sense of conflict that the singer feels is palpable.
