Control of the Knife
Unveiling the Dance of Desire
Lyrics
Won't climb underground, battle lounge
Refusing to descend into hidden or undesirable places, resisting engagement in a confrontational setting.
Won't crawl through the dirt, you're cruel
Rejecting the idea of crawling through difficulties, expressing discontent with someone's harsh behavior.
That's what you found, body sound
Acknowledging a discovery about the physical aspect, possibly implying a revelation about the speaker's body.
I'm turning it round, I'm cool
Expressing a shift in attitude, asserting composure and self-assurance.
You hooked me line and sinker, I fell
Describing being deceived or ensnared by someone, suggesting vulnerability.
Ooh you'd like the heavens in hell
Highlighting the contradictory nature of the relationship, where pleasure is found in undesirable circumstances.
You took me high and blinkered I fell

You're keeping control of the knife
