Pleasure Seeker
The CIA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing much left in this world to live for
I think I know how we could waste time
Give it over to the folks that drive us
Give me your love and I will give you mine

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure
Seeker, seeker, seeker, seeker
Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure
Seeker, seeker, seeker, seeker

Let me see the back of your palm
I'll let you taste the sweat on my spine
Tie me up with strips of leather
Release the tension, it's built inside

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure
Seeker, seeker, seeker, seeker
Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure
Seeker, seeker, seeker, seeker
Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure
Seeker, seeker, seeker, seeker




Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure
Seeker, seeker, seeker, seeker

I am extremely dissatisfied with life and I find no meaning in continuing to exist


I think I know how we could waste time
I have ideas on how we could occupy ourselves to fill the void of our meaningless existence


Give it over to the folks that drive us
Let's hand control of our lives to those who exert power over us and guide us in ways that benefit them

I will open up to you and let you experience my essence


Tie me up with strips of leather
Restrict me physically and emotionally, and make me feel helpless
