My Dark Desire
The Agony Scene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Her touch intoxicating
She holds my heart within her hands
Unmerciful
She has become my everything!

Kissed with broken glass
The softest touch will penetrate
And steal my breath
I close my eyes and suffocate

She is my dark desire
With all the trappings of regret
Dressed in blasphemy
(She pulls the stitches from my eyes)
She's my suffering
The taste of death is on her lips
Dressed in blasphemy
She takes my breathe and takes my life

She is my misery
To touch her skin of whitest lies
So beautiful
She has become my everything

She is the kiss of death
My body longing just to feel




Her final breath
To close her eyes and suffocate

The first verse of The Agony Scene's song "My Dark Desire" sets the mood with the singer describing his intense attraction to a woman who has become everything to him. He describes her touch as intoxicating, holding his heart within her hands, and being unmerciful.

The second verse amplifies these themes, as the singer longs to feel this woman's final breath and suffocate with her.


Overall, "My Dark Desire" is a song about the dangerous and seductive power of desire, and how it can consume and destroy a person. Through vivid lyrics and intense imagery, The Agony Scene captures the dark side of attraction and shows how it can lead to self-destruction.
