Morphine
Venus Outback Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark is beauty
Like that orphan in my morphine for my soul
Deprave me
It's your duty
I'm your corpse (and) you're my grave
All I have, all I need now (is)
Makes me whole
All I have, all I need now (is)
Morphine for my soul
Makes me whole
All I have is you
Receive me
Black crusader
Penetrate my deepest hatred and desires
Deceive me
Black invader
Ease my pain, kill my flame
All I have, all I need now (is)
Morphine for my soul
Makes me whole
All I have, all I need now (is)
Morphine for my soul
Makes me whole
All I have, all I need now (is)
Morphine for my soul
Makes me whole
All I have, all I need now (is)
Morphine for my soul
Makes me whole
All I have, all I need now (is)
Morphine for my soul
Makes me whole
All I have, all I need now (is)
Morphine for my soul
The lyrics of Venus Outback's song "Morphine" explores the theme of addiction and the desire for a substance or person to make one feel whole. The word "morphine" is used as a metaphor for this substance, which has the power to numb pain and provide temporary relief. The lyrics suggest that the singer is enslaved by their desire for this morphine for their soul, which is a reflection of their inner emptiness and pain.
The imagery of darkness and blackness is used to describe the allure of this substance, as the singer is "enslaved" and "depraved" by it. The mention of a "black crusader" and "black invader" indicates that the singer sees this addiction as a battle between light and dark, good and evil. The desire to be "received" and "penetrated" by this substance is paradoxically juxtaposed with the desire to be "deceived" and have their pain "eased" and "flame" extinguished.
In essence, the lyrics convey a sense of despair and an overwhelming desire to find something or someone to fill the void within. The repetition of the chorus "All I have, all I need now (is) Morphine for my soul / Makes me whole / All I have is you" reinforces this sense of emptiness and the dependence on this substance to provide a sense of wholeness.
