Passion
oux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me time to think
When I'm with you
Someone else drowns in my drink
Over the chain link fence
This is my last defense
Calms me down
Bends me over
You call it passion
But it's just silent abuse
I'd call you by another name
But then again, what's the use?
Your golden tongue is a gift
But your hands are a noose
And you keep hanging around
Ohh oh
Like a loose tooth
I can't pull free
Slam doors shut
And hush on me
Glued to the couch
While my friends are asleep
Turn in the mirror three times
To summon bloody me
Me, me
You call it passion
But it's just silent abuse
I'd call you by another name
But then again, what's the use?
Your golden tongue is a gift
But your hands are a noose
And you keep hanging around
You call it passion
But it's just silent abuse
I'd call you by another name
But then again, what's the use?
Your golden tongue is a gift
But your hands are a noose
And you keep hanging around
Oh, oh oh
Speak with my tongue
Low slung
Low hanging fruit
Death becomes me
Death becomes you
Death becomes you
Speak with my tongue
Low slung
Low hanging fruit
You call it passion
But it's just silent abuse
I'd call you by another name
But then again, what's the use?
Your golden tongue is a gift
But your hands are a noose
And you keep hanging
You keep hanging
You call it passion
But it's just silent abuse
I'd call you by another name
But then again, what's the use?
Your golden tongue is a gift
But your hands are a noose
And you keep hanging
You keep hanging
Around
You call it passion
You call it passion
But it's just silent
Silent
In these lyrics, the singer expresses their conflicted emotions and the toxic nature of their relationship. The opening lines suggest a desire for solitude and introspection, symbolized by being in the front yard. However, being with this person causes someone else to suffer, symbolized by someone drowning in their drink.
The chain link fence mentioned represents a barrier, the singer's last defense against the harmful actions of their partner. Despite this, being with them has both a calming and overpowering effect, as indicated by being bent over the bathroom sink.
The chorus reflects a theme of the distorted perception of love. The partner calls their destructive actions "passion," but the singer identifies it as "silent abuse." This highlights the discrepancy between the perception of passion and its unhealthy manifestation in their relationship. The reference to a loose tooth symbolizes a sense of entrapment and the inability to break free from this harmful dynamic.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's entrapment. Slamming doors and the need for silence suggest a tense and possibly abusive environment. The line about being glued to the couch while their friends sleep emphasizes the isolation they feel.
The repetition of "you keep hanging around" indicates the persistence of the toxic partner in the singer's life despite the negative effects. The singer acknowledges the partner's charming words as a gift but compare their hands to a noose, representing the partner's controlling behavior.
The repeated phrase "speak with my tongue" signifies the loss of personal identity in the relationship. The line "Low hanging fruit, death becomes me" implies that the singer feels trapped in a situation that is slowly destroying them. It suggests a deep sense of being consumed or trapped by the partner's presence.
Overall, these lyrics depict a relationship characterized by verbal manipulation, control, and emotional abuse. The singer's conflicting emotions reflect the struggle to break free and the contradictory nature of their feelings toward their partner. The repetition throughout the song emphasizes the persistence of these patterns and the difficulty of escaping them.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm in the front yard
I find myself in a vulnerable position
Give me time to think
Please allow me space for reflection
When I'm with you
In your presence
Someone else drowns in my drink
I become consumed by my emotions, neglecting others
Over the chain link fence
Beyond the superficial boundaries
This is my last defense
My final line of protection
Calms me down
Brings me a sense of tranquility
Bends me over
Manipulates me
The bathroom sink
Symbolizing a place of vulnerability
You call it passion
You label it as intense emotion
But it's just silent abuse
However, it is actually a form of harmful treatment
I'd call you by another name
I would refer to you differently
But then again, what's the use?
Yet, it seems futile
Your golden tongue is a gift
Your persuasive words are skillful
But your hands are a noose
Yet, your actions are suffocating
And you keep hanging around
Persistently present in my life
Ohh oh
Expressing frustration or despair
Like a loose tooth
An unwanted distraction that is difficult to get rid of
I can't pull free
I am unable to break away
Slam doors shut
Closing off avenues of escape
And hush on me
Imposing silence upon me
Glued to the couch
Stuck in an unproductive state
While my friends are asleep
While those closest to me are unaware
Turn in the mirror three times
Performing a superstitious ritual
To summon bloody me
In an attempt to invoke a sinister version of myself
Me, me
Emphasizing my individuality
Speak with my tongue
Express myself
Low slung
In a melancholic manner
Low hanging fruit
Easy targets
Death becomes me
Death exemplifies who I am
Death becomes you
Death suits you as well
Speak with my tongue
Continue to communicate
You keep hanging
You persistently remain
Around
In my life
You call it passion
You characterize it as intense emotion
But it's just silent abuse
However, it is actually a form of harmful treatment
You keep hanging
You persistently remain
Around
In my life
Speak with my tongue
Express myself
Low slung
In a melancholic manner
Low hanging fruit
Easy targets
You call it passion
You label it as intense emotion
But it's just silent abuse
However, it is actually a form of harmful treatment
You keep hanging
You persistently remain
You keep hanging
You persistently remain
Around
In my life
You call it passion
You label it as intense emotion
You call it passion
You label it as intense emotion
But it's just silent
However, it is actually unspoken
Silent
Unspoken
