Torture Me Lyrics

Cover art for Torture Me lyrics by Metric

To me, this song is about being with someone who uses you for nothing more than your body:

'Get the rope Tie me to the bed post Cause I can't find within myself'

That to me means the person isn't happy with themselves, so they seek validation in all the wrong places and from all the wrong people.

I also think it's about finding that sense of self confidence and happiness for a second, then as soon as you walk away from that room you realise that it was all fake:

'Torture me with all I wanted'

That line to me is about being teased with the feeling of self pride and peace just to have it taken away. I love this song, and this is just my interpretation and what it means to me personally.
