Passion
The Prototypes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Red light opens door to sweetest pain
Make me sway
My prey to passion I want you to go away
Feel inside
The pressure of the lust you can not fight
Can not fight
Steal my eyes
You've won today your very own best prize
You think you're special
Why don't you realize
The fear inside you
A person of great size
What's your name
I'll write it down in a list of my hall of fame
Make me sway
My prey to passion I won't let you go away
You think you're special
Why don't you realize
The fear inside you
A person of great size
The warm tightens me
I'm on my way to hell
I am your Devil
There's nothing left to sell
The song "Passion" by The Prototypes speaks about the overwhelming feeling of sexual desire that takes over a person completely. The lyrics describe a seemingly helpless situation, where the singer is left to succumb to their powerful emotions. The "red light" that is mentioned in the beginning of the song could be seen as a metaphor for a moment of decision-making or temptation upon which one's fate hangs by a thin thread.
The song paints a picture of a person who is torn between the desire to give in to their passion and the need to resist it. However, the singer acknowledges that the pressure of lust is so strong that it cannot be fought. The lyrics also describe the other person involved as a "prey," indicating a power dynamic in which one person is being overpowered by the other's sexual desire.
Towards the end of the song, the singer's use of imagery becomes dark and frightening as they describe the feeling of being trapped in the grip of passion. The line "I am your Devil, there's nothing left to sell" emphasizes this feeling of being consumed by desire, almost as if the singer has sold their soul to obtain it.
