fatal temptation
Vanessa Weisz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought I would feel like this
Comparing me to your exes
Like what they did doesn't exist
Making me out to be the criminal
But who was the one that lead me on
Love taking things out of context
So much bullshit, so much nonsense
Gas mask on my face hides my tears
I suffer because I can't speak
I taste the salt as I sink in deep
Wish so much I could make you miss me
My body is aching I need you with me
Nothing hurts like the almost we had
When did things turn so fucking bad
Wish so much I could make you miss me
My body is aching I need you with me
Nothing hurts like the almost we had
When did things turn so fucking bad
Love is in the air but I can't breathe
Gas mask on my face hides my tears
I suffer because I can't speak
I taste the salt as I sink in deep
Love is in the air but I can't breathe
Gas mask on my face hides my tears
The lyrics of Vanessa Weisz's song "Fatal Temptation" portray a painful and complicated relationship. The opening lines suggest a conflict between the desire for genuine connection and the superficiality of only wanting physical intimacy. The singer expresses surprise at experiencing such intense emotions and being compared to their partner's past relationships, as if the mistakes of those previous partners are being ignored. The accusing tone implies that the partner is portraying the singer as the villain in the relationship, despite being the one who led the singer on.
The lyrics further convey a sense of frustration and misunderstanding. The idea that love is in the air but the inability to breathe signifies that the singer feels suffocated within the relationship. The gas mask metaphor represents the need to protect oneself from the pain and hide emotions, which are likely a result of the partner's actions. The singer hints at being silenced and unable to express their true feelings, leading to the taste of salt, perhaps from holding back tears, as they sink deeper into emotional turmoil.
The chorus reveals the longing for the partner to miss the singer and the physical ache experienced in their absence. The phrase "Nothing hurts like the almost we had" suggests that the relationship had potential but ended up turning sour. The lyrics evoke a sense of confusion and disappointment, questioning how things ended up so terrible despite the initial promise.
Overall, "Fatal Temptation" explores themes of unrequited love, feeling misunderstood, and the pain caused by a relationship that almost succeeded but ultimately failed.
