| New Order – Temptation Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This song is clearly about the experience of meeting someone new: the temptation you feel and the possibility of bliss, as well as the fear of rejection. > Heaven, a gateway, a hope > Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke Finding a new lover can be blissful. > And though it hurts me to see you this way > Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say It seems you might not like me back. You haven't said so, but I'm afraid of rejection. > Up, down, turn around > Please don't let me hit the ground Please don't reject me. > Tonight I think I'll walk alone > I'll find my soul as I go home I think I'll chicken out and not approach the person I find attractive. > Each way I turn, I know I'll always try > To break this circle that's been placed around me Although I'm afraid of rejection, I'll keep trying to break through my fear. > From time to time, I find I've lost some need > That was urgent to myself, I do believe Over time, my need to approach a new person has diminished. > Oh, you've got green eyes > Oh, you've got blue eyes > Oh, you've got grey eyes I've been attracted to different people. > And I've never seen anyone quite like you before > No, I've never met anyone quite like you before Each new person I'm interested in always feels unique. > Bolts from above hurt the people down below > People in this world, we have no place to go The desire to connect with a new person just happens. You can't avoid it. > Oh, it's the last time Oh it's the last time I'll dare to approach this attractive person. |

The lyrics leave a lot open for interpretation. My take is that it's about leaving behind regrets, conventions, and religion and striking to see a new perspective from the seven seas; and see just how big the world is and how long time goes on, and see your existence from that perspective. > stab a sorry heart > with your favourite finger Stop feeling sorry and sad > paint the whole world blue Go out to the seas > and stop your tears from stinging Stop feeling sorry and sad > hear the cavemen singing > good news they're bringing Humans have lived for thousands of years and persisted, they've taken great risks, sailing out on the seas > seven seas > swimming them so well > glad to see > my face among them > kissing the tortoise shell Rejuvenated by the feeling of freedom, adventure and perspective on the seas > a longing for some fresher feeling > belonging or just forever kneeling > where's the sense in stealing > without the grace to be it We all have the instinct and desire for a sense of meaning and belonging What's the sense in getting the meaning from someone else, without actually feelingi t and making it your own? > seven seas > swimming them so well > glad to see > my face among them > kissing the tortoise shell Rejuvenated by the feeling of freedom, adventure and perspective on the seas > burning my bridges > and smashing my mirrors Letting go of religion and conventional way of thinking > turning to see if you're cowardly Going on this physical and spiritual journey with someone > burning the witches and mother religious Letting go of religion and conventional way of thinking > you'll strike the matches and shower me > in water games > washing the rocks below > taught and tamed > in time with tear flow The new perspective on life makes you see the human sorrow in a different way. |
