Salome
Unlucky Morpheus Lyrics

The lyrics to Unlucky Morpheus's song Salome are sung from the perspective of a woman, "Salome," who is portrayed as a sinful and erotic figure, offering forgiveness through her tainted intimacy. She longs for purity, desiring to be seen only by the one who loves her without judgment, and is willing to offer her body and soul to achieve it. The first verse sets up the theme of sin and rejection, with Salome seeking redemption through sexual means, bringing to mind the biblical story of John the Baptist's beheading at the request of Salome.

The chorus repeats the name "Salome" and the words "dance for me," suggesting that she is performing for a specific person or audience. The lines "kill this woman" may refer to the idea of destroying the part of herself that is sinful or not pure, offering herself up entirely to the object of her affection.

The second verse describes Salome as a puppet, handled and molded by someone else until she blooms like a ripe pomegranate, ready to be consumed. The final verse speaks of love's secrets and a shared kiss, with Salome offering herself completely to the person who holds her. The lyrics throughout the song are evocative and passionate, expressing the intense emotion and desire of the character of Salome.
