temptation
Party Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control

Temptation
Temptation
Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets you down
Temptation
One foot in the ground

We exist in a world
Where the fear of illusion is real
And we cling to the past
To deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside we conceive and
Believe in a God we can't feel

Destined by a fate so cruel
And drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul




Temptation
I've lost all control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Party's song Temptation describe someone who is being controlled by their desires and is losing their ability to control themselves. The second stanza talks about being overwhelmed with rage and feeling helpless as something takes over their soul. The chorus is a repetition of the word temptation, which seems to represent the force that is causing the person to lose control. The third and fourth stanzas describe how we as humans exist in a world where the fear of illusion is real and we cling to the past to deny and confuse the ideal. The stanza goes on to describe how humans believe in a God they can't feel, which suggests that human desires and fears are often based on things that can't be proven.


The song is about the struggle between our desires and our ability to control ourselves. It talks about how humans can become trapped by their desires and how difficult it is to resist temptation when it is so powerful. The song also touches on the idea that sometimes we believe things that can't be proven, which can lead us down a dangerous path.


Line by Line Meaning

Driven by restrained desire
Compelled by an unfulfilled urge that's being held back


I want what I need
Craving something that's required for sustenance


Shaking as her sex takes hold
Trembling from the grasp of carnal impulses


I've lost all control
Powerless to resist the temptation


Temptation
The perilous pull of allure


Drowning in a sea of rage
Overwhelmed by a flood of fury


I taste the embrace
Savoring the sensation of being enveloped


Helpless as it steals my soul
Unable to defend oneself as the temptation takes over


It never lets you down
The temptation is always reliable


One foot in the ground
On the verge of being consumed by the temptation


We exist in a world
We live in a reality


Where the fear of illusion is real
Where the dread of deception is genuine


And we cling to the past
And we hold onto what's already happened


To deny and confuse the ideal
To reject and disorient what's perfect


Once inside we conceive and
Once within our minds we generate and


Believe in a God we can't feel
Have faith in a deity that's intangible


Destined by a fate so cruel
Preordained by a merciless destiny


And drugged to delight
And intoxicated to experience pleasure


Laughing as these lies unfold
Chuckling as these deceptions are revealed


You satisfy my soul
You fulfill me completely


I've lost all control
I'm powerless to resist the temptation

Teenagers need to listen to songs like this now. That’s why I truly miss the 90’s

Was lucky to know most of staff from 102.1 in Toronto! From 96 to 04 . A school friend from 80's would be so pissed because they kept telling me to listen to the station! Took a few years but she was right!!

A gem from the North. First time I heard this on the radio, I immediately pulled a u-turn and went directly to purchase this album at Walmart.
