Twisted
Xymox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think it started
The way you twist my words
This world can get so shallow
I feel so tired
I still loose myself in other voices
I can't help myself
The mirror must fall
It's falling to pieces
And I feel twisted
I don't want to be with you
A million night faces
Turning inside out
The lies in their hands
All I do is smile
I don't want to be like this
A million night faces
Turning inside out, inside out

The names on the wall
The pain to remember
I am not what I seem
I have to balance
I have to think
Can I give you something more ?
Christ on the cross
The faceless bodies
And angels calling to me
Please seduce me
Please let me use you

And I feel twisted
I don't want to be with you
A million night faces
Turning inside out, inside out
All I do is smile
Too many secret smiles
Heh , heh, sarah
Too many secret smiles
Heh , heh, sarah
I feel so twisted
I feel so twisted
Too many secret smiles
Heh , heh, sarah




So twisted,
Etc ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Xymox's Twisted describe a feeling of exhaustion and disillusionment with the world, specifically with the way people twist words and manipulate truth. The singer feels lost in the voices of others, and the mirror they have been using to see themselves is falling apart. They don't want to be with the person they are addressing in the song, but they are also aware of their own inner turmoil and the many false faces they wear to protect themselves. The use of the phrase "a million night faces turning inside out" creates a vivid image of the singer's perception of the people around them, and the chorus of "I feel so twisted" emphasizes the feeling of confusion and disconnect.


The verses of the song contain references to religion, with mentions of Christ on the cross and angels calling to the singer. These religious elements are intertwined with images of pain and seduction, creating a sense of both longing and despair. The use of the name "Sarah" in the final lines of the song seems to be a nod to a specific person, perhaps someone the singer is close to or someone who has contributed to their current emotional state.


Overall, the lyrics to Twisted convey a sense of emotional turmoil and disillusionment with the world, while also incorporating religious and sensual imagery to create a complex emotional landscape.
