Love and Destroy
Embracing Freedom: Love, Liberation, and Midnight Meetings
Lyrics
I'm so free I could lacerate
I feel liberated to the point of causing injury
Rip the robes right off of my chest
Expressing a desire to remove any inhibitions or restrictions
I'll fly high above the Moscovites' sky
Describing a state of elevated freedom above Moscow's sky
I'm going to rip, rip, oh I'll never rest
Expressing a relentless determination and energy
Oh, I'm going to meet you at midnight
Commitment to a meeting at midnight
Oh, I'm going to meet you at midnight
Repetition emphasizing the anticipation of the midnight meeting
Oh, I'm not used to living alone
Admitting discomfort with living in solitude
I gotta learn how to live or I'll die
Recognition of the need to adapt to life or face consequences
I'm so free as I'm naked
Feeling liberated and exposed, perhaps emotionally vulnerable
Shining silver under the moon
Symbolic imagery of shining silver under the moon
It's dark beneath the Moscovites' sky
Describing darkness under Moscow's sky, possibly indicating challenges
I'm gonna rip, rip, I'll never swoon
Expressing determination to continue without hesitation
Oh, I'm going to meet you at midnight
Reiteration of the commitment to the midnight meeting
Oh, I'm going to meet you at midnight
Repeating the anticipation of the midnight rendezvous
Yeah, I'm not used to living alone
Acknowledging difficulty in adapting to solitary life
I gotta learn how to live and to die
Reiterating the importance of learning to live and face consequences
Margarita, love and destroy
Invocation of "Margarita" and the directive to love and destroy
Margarita, love and destroy
Repetition of the directive to "love and destroy"
Margarita, love and destroy
Continued emphasis on the theme of love and destruction
Margarita, love and destroy
Reiteration of the connection between Margarita, love, and destruction
I'm so free as I meet you
Reaffirmation of the feeling of freedom in meeting someone
Welcoming black, queen of the ball
Welcoming someone symbolized as the "black queen of the ball"
It's dark beneath the Moscovites' sky
Highlighting challenges beneath Moscow's sky contrasted with the support received
But you give, you give me it all
Expressing gratitude for receiving everything from the person
Oh, I'm here with you at midnight
Acknowledging the presence at midnight
oh, I'm here with you at midnight
Repetition emphasizing the shared midnight experience
You see I forgot about living alone
Forgetting about living alone in the company of the other person
As I learn, I learn how to die
Learning about life through the process of learning to face death
Margarita, love and destroy
Reiteration of the directive to "love and destroy" by Margarita
Margarita, love and destroy
Continued emphasis on the theme of love and destruction
Margarita, love and destroy
Repetition of the connection between Margarita, love, and destruction
Margarita, love and destroy
Final repetition underscoring the link between Margarita, love, and destruction
