Unsuffer Me Lyrics

Unlock my love
and set me free
Come fill me up
with ecstasy

Surround my heartbeat
be with your fingertips
unbound my feet
untie my wrists
come in to my world
of loneliness
and wickedness
and bitterness
Unlock my love

Unsuffer me
take away the pain
Unbruise unbloody
wash away the stain
Anoint my head
with your sweet kiss
my joy is dead
I long for bliss
I long for knowledge
whisper in my ear
undo my logic, undo my fear
Unsuffer me

Unlock my love
and set me free
Come fill me up
with ecstasy
Unsuffer me
take away the pain
unbruise unbloddy
wash away the stain
surround my heartbeat
be with your fingertips
unbound my feet
untie my wrists
come in to my world
of loneliness
and wickedness
and bitterness
anoint my head
with your sweet kiss
my joy is dead
I long for bliss
I long for knowledge
whisper in my ear
undo my logic, undo my fear
Unsuffer me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about a relationship that left you bad, that made you suffer. And she's kinda saying to the next person, "anoint my head with your sweet kiss" and wash away the bad that that person has done to me. "Unsuffer me" I think this is a very pretty song, dark, but pretty.
