Venice Drowning Lyrics

What does this song mean to me?

Lust. Pure and simple. Prettied up with suggestive wordplay but... lust, nevertheless. The words, sensual decay, come to mind. I love the lyric in the second verse. "oh, her lips will answer" Naughty.

As far as the religious aspect of it, I don't know about that. If anything the song is deliberately profane.
