Temptation Lyrics
It crawls down deep inside without a pulse or a will to die
Not known to sympathize
And now it takes what it takes and lets the feelings suffocate
It's nothing new it'll get it's way
Another thing that I see is how it gets inside of me and tears away my life
It's time to love It's time to hate
It's coming face to face trying to desecrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me
It's awake even when you sleep
It breathes without a heartbeat, making me incomplete
And now I know what I know
Expect the demon down below to surface through my mortal soul
And now it looks to be smiling as it's killing me day to day, eye to eye
It's time to love It's time to hate
It's coming face to face trying to desecrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me
Not known to sympathize
And now it takes what it takes and lets the feelings suffocate
It's nothing new it'll get it's way
Another thing that I see is how it gets inside of me and tears away my life
It's coming face to face trying to desecrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me
It breathes without a heartbeat, making me incomplete
And now I know what I know
Expect the demon down below to surface through my mortal soul
And now it looks to be smiling as it's killing me day to day, eye to eye
It's coming face to face trying to desecrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me

Another good song off of another great album. I think the meaning is simple. Temptation still got a hold him.
This song is about the singer's wanting to go back to the stuff he used to do (drinking, smoking, drugs) but he refuses to go and everytime he sees those things, the temptation builds for it.
yea i agree but i do think each individual could sculpt it into sumthing that rellates to them
It's about our "demons" and they got a hold of us GodSmack gods PS:i think they're music can even awake deads if they could hear it
The way I see it...simple bare bones, that bad habbits and or addictions are things that no matter what you do is the hardest thing to deal with, due to temtations. And it is hard to deal with a Beast like temtptation when there is no pluse or heartbeat to it..for how can ya kill something that is not alive yes?
Ever think its about the girl in moon baby? i was just looking at that song and seems like he's talking about something spacific.. i donno, but the more general side of it is what you guys said
Just here incase Roach Koach decide to review this album. Been listening to you all for about two weeks since this date. Excellent show.
As for the song, I think it’s pretty straight forward. Dealing with the temptation to do right or wrong, or something like that. I don’t know, it’s Sully so it’s probably about as deep as a kitchen sink.
That said, the song rips in my opinion. This is the kind of energy and pace I’ve been waiting for from Godsmack.
