A Drop Of Time
Sara Noxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deliverance - of faking
Treating me, beating me,
Tremble with heat in me
Deliverance - of hoping
Deliverance - of doping
Engraving my fading skin
Engraving a kind of sin
Kick me now like a piece of grime
Hold me now like a dirty crime
Take me now - like a drop of time
Disarmament - of aching
Disarmament - of hating
Feeling me, healing me,
Ravage is sealing me
Disarmament - unspoken
Disarmament - unbroken
Sever me, ever me
Serve my sexuality
Publicity - for enemy
Publicity - for cruelty
Sever me, ever me
Serve my sexuality
The lyrics in Sara Noxx's song A Drop of Time explores themes of deliverance, disarmament, and sexuality. The repetition of the term "deliverance" in the opening lines suggests a struggle to free oneself from pain and dishonesty. The singer desires to be treated honestly and authentically, yearning for the heat of passion and hope. However, they also acknowledge that these desires may have been co-opted and tainted by a reliance on drugs and sin. The metaphor in the line "Engraving my fading skin / Engraving a kind of sin" indicates a desire to leave a lasting imprint on the world, even if it means carrying the mark of transgression.
The second stanza continues the themes of disarmament and sexuality. The singer wants to be disarmed of pain and hate, to be healed by intimacy and intimacy alone. They even suggest that "ravage is sealing me", hinting that perhaps destructive passion can also lead to healing in the right circumstances. The last stanza brings in the motif of "publicity" to further explore the idea of serving one's own sexuality. The line "Serve my sexuality" is a demand for the singer's identity and desires to be acknowledged by others, even if it means facing enmity and cruelty.
Overall, the lyrics of A Drop of Time are poetic and introspective, delving into complex themes of deliverance, disarmament, sin, and sexuality.
