Example: Adam & Eve with the forbidden fruit.
They were told not to eat it.
It was nice looking.
They were hungry.
Made their mouths water.
The serpent said it would be fine if they ate it.
So they went against what God had told them.
And then they ate it.
BAM.
They’ve done wrong.
Then they’re sorry.
This song, to me, is about being blindly deceived by the devil.
The devil can transform and manipulate itself into beauty to get you to sin.
“And I found a whore on the corner of her street
She wrapped her arms around me and she kissed me on the mouth
Said, "There's more where that came from. Oh, baby, there's more.”
This whore…or the devil is beautiful and provocative.
Which the result is getting the guy to want her and give in.
In the song, I think the girl who wears her pretty dress offers and tricks the guy to fall "in love" with her.
Along with the bargain of her saying no one has to know of this sin.
“She puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want: escape from the pain. Nobody has to know.”
In the end, she wins because he fell into temptation and gave in.
He later finds out that he can’t keep his sins from God.
And he realizes that the girl is not loyal because of her earlier victims, meaning he wasn’t the only one.
“I can't get enough but my soul is rotting
What have I become?
I can hear the screams of her earlier victims so clearly now
With a shake of my face, I awoke and saw my fate
All alone in the darkness, chained to the devil's gate”

The end result: Beauty is temptation.
