The Dogma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't run for cover
Don't close your eyes full of fear
But face your future
'Cos' I'm the only one who really knows your heart
Don't believe what they say
And together we'll fly away
I'm the man of your life, I'm your saviour
Let your body go with me let your soul go in me
'Cos' I'm the only one who really knows your soul
Don't believe what they say
And together we'll fly away
If you dare... tonight is your night
Like a tiger in a cage
Break your chains and free your rage
For your love,..a new beginning
The tears in your eyes
Will be dried like the rain by the sun
The thorns of your heart'll be picked
Up like a rose from a garden
Pain is the only friend of my life
Darkness will be my guide
My future is sand in an hourglass
Hope is dead within my heart
A memory too far
I'm only watting for the end...
Don't believe what they say
And together we'll fly away
If you dare... tonight is your night
Like a tiger in a cage
Break your chains and free your rage
For your love... a new beginning
The lyrics in The Dogma's song Temptation are about temptation and the seductive nature of it that can make people let go of their fears and inhibitions in the moment. The song's speaker is encouraging someone to face their future and not be afraid of what may come, as they are the only one who knows the listener's heart and soul. They ask the listener to ignore what others may say and fly away with them instead. The singer compares the listener to a tiger in a cage, telling them to break free from their chains and let their rage out for a new beginning, for their love.
The second half of the song takes an introspective turn, with the singer admitting to a dark and painful past that they feel destined to repeat. They express feelings of hopelessness and sorrow while still urging the listener, and perhaps themselves, to take the chance and fly away from it all.
Overall, the song speaks to the power of temptation, both in its ability to lure us into the unfamiliar but also in its potential to help us break free from our limitations and start anew.
