Sensation
Slut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I saw
Different star
From now on
Kindness gone

I'll curse you all
About to fall, girl
Girl like you
Things we do
Know she would
Understood

I'll leave to try
And say goodbye, girl

Sensation
Now I curse you all
Sensation
All about to fall
Sensation
You, me for a while

Start to be
Lunacy
Who we are
You, me, star

I'm coming down
You'll see me drown, girl

Sensation
Now I curse you all
Sensation
All about to fall




Sensation
You, me for a while

Overall Meaning

In "Sensation" by the band Slut, the lyrics are open to interpretation, but there are certain themes that stand out. The song starts with the singer witnessing a different star and then claiming that kindness is now gone. The next line ~ "I'll curse you all / About to fall, girl" ~ is mysterious, but it could suggest that the singer sees some kind of impending doom.


The chorus repeats the word sensation, followed by the line "Now I curse you all / About to fall / You, me for a while." The repetition of the word sensation might suggest that the singer is experiencing some intense emotion, perhaps related to the impending doom. The last line of the chorus seems to imply that the singer is resigned to this fate and that they will be experiencing it together with whoever they are addressing.


The second verse uses the phrase "start to be" and "lunacy" which could suggest that the characters are experiencing some kind of awakening or realization, but it is also tinged with a sense of delusion. The final line, "I'm coming down / You'll see me drown, girl" could be interpreted quite literally as the singer descending from a height, but it is also a metaphor for a collapse or downfall. The repetition of the chorus at the end drives home the sense of resignation and foreboding in the lyrics.

Ich seh zwar einerseits, dass der Kommentar "lange her" ist, andererseits kann ich mir eine Antwort aber auch wiederum nicht so recht verkneifen.

Strophe: //: A/C# D A A ://

Bridge: C#m7 D C#m7 D Amaj7

Chorus (oder Refrain)...: F#m D A A

Hab' das jetzt nicht im Einzelnen durchprobiert, z.B. könnte es in der Bridge statt C#m7 auch Amaj7/C# sein, aber das ist jedenfalls - ganz grob - das, was ich in diesem Song höre.

Schönster Indie- Klassiker den es gibt. Auch nach 18 Jahren noch Gänsehaut...

Ja, der Film "Crazy". Das war damals quasi wie "Spotify" heute. Einmal auf "Flow" gedrückt- Kultur kaputt. Heute ist es die Galileo Redakteurin, die alles versaut. :DSeis drum. 1 und 1 ist längst vorbei. :D Drüben auf dem Hügel möcht ich sein. :D So, wiedersehen.
