Ecstasy
Soviet Soviet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see my face and collapse in red
Everyday I'm loosing time, reading my brain
And collapse in red
Keep in the darkness and need to die
To see my face and collapse in red
Everyday while I'm coming home, I see you again
Something wrong
Liberty was hard
But Sunday everything's okay
All systems intact
On your chest
The song "Ecstasy" by Soviet Soviet speaks of a darker desire to keep oneself in the shadows and eventually collapse in red (presumably, into a pool of one's own blood). The lyrics depict a feeling of losing oneself and going through a mental decline, where time seems to slip away and one's brain seems to be deteriorating. The repetition of the phrase "To see my face and collapse in red" hints at a deeper desire to confront one's own mortality and potentially end it all.
The lyrics also mention the concept of liberty being hard and the idea that everything is okay on Sundays. This could be taken as a commentary on the mundanity and routine of everyday life, where the only escape is through the darkness and the thoughts of collapsing in red. The final line "On your chest" could be interpreted in different ways, but perhaps it is a reference to someone close who is providing some sort of solace or support amidst the desire to self-destruct.
Line by Line Meaning
Keep in the darkness and need to die
I feel as though I need to be in a state of despair and hopelessness in order to truly understand myself and my emotions.
To see my face and collapse in red
I want to confront the harsh reality of my existence and suffer from the pain of it until it consumes me completely.
Everyday I'm loosing time, reading my brain
My mind is constantly consumed with thoughts, and I feel as though I am wasting my life by analyzing them instead of taking action.
And collapse in red
I want to fully give in to my emotions and feel them consume me, even if it leads to my own destruction.
Everyday while I'm coming home, I see you again
Despite my inward turmoil, I find comfort in the presence of someone else who I see on my way home every day.
Something wrong
I am aware that something is not right within myself, but I cannot pinpoint exactly what it is or how to fix it.
Liberty was hard
The freedom I once thought I desired is more difficult than I anticipated, and the responsibility of choice is overwhelming.
But Sunday everything's okay
On Sundays, I am able to pretend that everything is okay and forget about my problems, but it is only temporary solace.
All systems intact
Despite my internal struggles, I am able to maintain a facade of normalcy and functionality to appear to the outside world.
On your chest
I find comfort in physically leaning on someone else and seeking solace in their presence and affection.

everytime someone asks me what i use for music and i say youtube they think i’m dumb. but with spotify and all that you can’t find songs like these. it’s only popular stuff, and i don’t really like the really popular music, because it’s all the same. it’s overplayed and all about the same stuff. i much prefer underrated music 😌
