I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied
Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine
Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied
Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine
Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

It's about the masks we all wear (male - violence, female - beautiful) as opposed to those deeper secret (undisclosed) desires within (anyone's) heart - the true desires to be genuine, as buried under the more obvious and deceptive kind that really should not be there, such as demanding "demons from (our) past".
The males among us wear the (false) mask of physical threat (violence), and the females; the need to be outwardly "beautiful" - both in order to "trick lovers" that we are sexy - at once, both 'wicked and divine", when only "the innocence is (real) mine" - but undisclosed.
Indeed we are all being encouraged to look deeper, for that inner beauty, which is "not just a mask".
"I know you've suffered" is according the environment today in which we live - "It's cold and loveless" which causes us all to "suffer", resulting in "want to hide" from the world's harshness. So we develop an inner "violence" we imagine will protect us, but really needs to be "soothed" and "reconciled" - before we can think about developing the GENUINE 'me' within.
Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one
Most think: sex. They are wrong. Please me, meaning let me be with you. Show me how it's done, meaning tell me how not to hurt you because I don't want you hurt. Tease me, meaning she lets him in, then shuts him out. You are the one. That one's just self explanatory.
"I know you suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied"
She's suffered in the past in relationships, but doesn't want her to shut everyone off. Its saying that I know that where you are right now is cold and loveless, but it doesn't have to be that way and I can change that.
"Soothe me
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure"
I'll take away the pain, and you can trust that I won't hurt you.
"I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart"
There is violence in her heart, to the point where past pain has driven her to push everyone away through whatever means necessary in order to not be hurt. Even with all of that, she is still an incredible person and has amazing inner beauty. Exorcise the demons: Help her trust and love again and be able to look back without feeling pain. Satisfy the undisclosed desires (can be taken sexually, of course), but I think that this speaks to him understanding that in her heart she craves more but is to scared to allow those desires to love and closeness to be disclosed to anyone.
"You trick your lovers that you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine"
She acts both ways. At times, she'll open herself up a little bit and allow someone in, and they'll see the 'divine' side of her. But, more often she keeps her mask up, and that mask is of a carefree 'wicked' girl. Her actions lead people to believe she is a sinner (by the puritan definition), but he understands that it is all an act she puts up to try and keep people away.
"Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one"
Again, this could be taken sexually. But, it can be taken in another way as well. 'Please me, show me how it's done' - Make me happy, open yourself up, show me who you really are.. 'Tease me, you are the one' - She is teasing him by letting her guard down a little bit at a time, and even through those small cracks in her armor he can tell that she is the one.
If you read it, it becomes really obvious that the woman in the song is Julia.
I have sinned and done wrong in the past, and because of this, have had to hide in a cold and loveless life. I have tricked lovers to believe I am a goddess (wicked and divine) and in doing so, lost my innocence in a sinful way.
I long for someone to come my way and soothe my pain and make me feel pure again.
btw...Epic Lyrics
I have a penchant for picking up boys with lots of emotional baggage. I want to help them, but I have a feeling whoever wrote this song was with (or wanted to be with) a girl who didn't want or accept that she needed his help. Being held at arm's length is the worst thing anyone can do to someone who cares. I mean, we care enough to love you beyond what has happened, what you look like, how you act and we get thrown to the curb. Love is blind, but sometimes when you're blind, you run into knee-height tables and walls...
I always play it when we're together (good thing we have the same taste in music X'D)
"I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide"
She's had quite alot of awful shit happen to her, alot of her close family members died recently (her farther, uncle and grndfarther being the ones she was closest too) not to mention she was constantly bullied and a social outcast until last year :c. i really want her not to hide anymore, sometimes she distances herself from people from fear of rejection, i hate watching her that upset.
"I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask"
When she was in depression she was quite violent and got into quite a few fights, i want to help her get over that and reconize that she is no longer like that.
