He was born in Compton, California, and gained recognition as a member of the Grammy-nominated R&B band, The Internet, in 2015. In February 2017, Lacy released his debut project, a song series, titled “Steve Lacy's Demo” and his debut album, “Apollo XXI”, was released on May 2019. On December 4, 2020, Lacy released a compilation album titled “The Lo-Fis”.

(2) Steve Lacy (July 23, 1934 – June 4, 2004), born Steven Norman Lackritz in New York City, was an American jazz saxophonist and composer recognized as one of the important players of soprano saxophone. Coming to prominence in the 1950s as a progressive dixieland musician, Lacy went on to a long and prolific career. He worked extensively in experimental jazz and to a lesser extent in free improvisation, but Lacy's music was typically melodic and tightly structured. Lacy also became a highly distinctive composer, with compositions often built out of little more than a single questioning phrase, repeated several times.
After Lacy was diagnosed with cancer in August 2003, he continued playing and teaching until weeks before his death on June 4, 2004 at the age of 69.

In Lust We Trust
Steve Lacy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want some touch
All over my body
Give some love
To me, my dove

Let me get inside of your car
Let me live inside of your car
Let me hide up under your car

Let me live inside of your car

I want a kiss
All over my face
And even my lips
I, I grab your hips

Let me get inside of your car
Let me live inside of your car
Let me hide up under your car
Let me live inside of your car

I've had enough
Tired of the meaningless, feelingless fucks
These days, in lust we trust

Let me get up out of your car
Let me live outside of your car

Let me ease on out of your car
Let me live outside of your car

Overall Meaning

At first glance, Steve Lacy's song In Lust We Trust seems to be about an intense desire for physical affection, with lines like "I want some touch/ All over my body" and "I want a kiss/ All over my face/ And even my lips." However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that Lacy is grappling with a larger theme - the emptiness of hookup culture and the search for something more meaningful.

The repeated refrain of "Let me get inside of your car/ Let me live inside of your car/ Let me hide up under your car/ Let me live inside of your car" could be interpreted as a desire to escape the loneliness of modern life and find comfort in someone else's physical presence. But when Lacy later sings "I've had enough/ Tired of the meaningless, feelingless fucks/ These days, in lust we trust," it becomes clear that this search for physical intimacy is ultimately unsatisfying.

The final lines of the song - "Let me get up out of your car/ Let me live outside of your car/ Let me ease on out of your car/ Let me live outside of your car" - suggest a desire to find true love and a real connection, rather than just a fleeting physical encounter. Overall, Steve Lacy's In Lust We Trust tackles the complicated interplay between physical desire, emotional connection, and the search for something more meaningful.

Line by Line Meaning

I want some touch
I desire physical contact

All over my body
On every inch of my skin

Give some love
Provide affection

To me, my dove
To me, my beloved

Let me get inside of your car
Allow me to enter your vehicle

Let me live inside of your car
Let me stay inside your car as if it's my home

Let me hide up under your car
Let me take shelter underneath your car

I want a kiss
I desire to be kissed

All over my face
On every area of my face

And even my lips
Especially on my lips

I, I grab your hips
I firmly grasp your hips with my hands

I've had enough
I am done with something

Tired of the meaningless, feelingless fucks
Exhausted with casual and emotionless sexual encounters

These days, in lust we trust
Currently, we rely on sexual attraction for satisfaction

Let me get up out of your car
Allow me to exit your vehicle

Let me live outside of your car
Let me stay outside of your car

Let me ease on out of your car
Allow me to slowly and comfortably exit your car

Let me live outside of your car
Let me stay outside of your car

I want some touch
All over my body, give some love
To me, my dove

Let me get inside of your core
Let me live inside of your core
Let me hide up under your core
Let me live inside of your core

I want a kiss
All over my face and even my lips
While I grab your hips

Let me get inside of your core
Let me live inside of your core
Let me hide up under your core
Let me live inside of your core

I've had enough
Tired of the meaningless, feelingless fucks
These days, you lost my trust

Let me get up out of your core
Let me live outside of your core
Let me ease on out of your core
Let me live outside of your core

Theres an underlying sinister aura in this song in its simplicity....... theres something haunting and dark about it but that's also light and airy and romantic all at the same time... I cant get enough

@swishahouse68 yes! Thundercat has the same vibes! Although I say thundercat leans into the absurd a bit more. Imagine this song with a thundercat bassline lil chef kiss
