temptation
Phantom Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull you close my lips embrace your skin
Give to me eternal life, the fountain of my youth
Walk with me I?ll promise you the same
Welcoming your invitation, ageless time, temptation
I sleep away the day, at night I?m graveyard shift for life
Feel my presence drawing near, your heart beats in your head
Catch my stare, we?re married at first sight
Turn your head and face me, close your eyes embrace me, temptation
Swallowing your innocents, Angelic virgin white, giving in your sacrifice to me
Twisting lies and promises for lasting love and life, awaken by my side eternally
Ageless time, temptation , welcoming your invitation, temptation
Phantom Crew's song "Temptation" is a dark and seductive song about the desire for eternal life and the twisted promises that come with it. The song speaks from the perspective of an immortal creature, possibly a vampire or other supernatural being, who is drawn to a mortal human. The opening lines "Come to me my sweet, my precious chalice, you're my wine / Pull you close my lips embrace your skin" suggest a sensual and intimate connection between the two, as the immortal feeds on the mortal's blood to sustain their own immortality.
Throughout the song, the immortal offers promises of eternal life and youth to the mortal, tempting them towards an endless existence together. The line "Swallowing your innocents, Angelic virgin white, giving in your sacrifice to me" further emphasizes the dangerous allure of the immortal's promise, as the mortal must sacrifice their own life and humanity in order to gain eternal life with the creature.
The chorus "Ageless time, temptation, welcoming your invitation, temptation" speaks to the eternal struggle between temptation and morality, as the mortal must choose between a life with the creature or a natural end to their mortality.
Overall, "Temptation" is a haunting and compelling song about the dark and seductive nature of immortality.
