Leech
Dancing with Desire: Unraveling the Intriguing Depths of 'Leech'
Lyrics
Caught in the spaces, between lust and apathy,
Caught in a state between desire and indifference.
I’ll be making my move on anyone I can who will further my own needs,
Expressing a willingness to pursue personal interests with anyone available.
it’s not love that I’m wanting, it is only power and greed,
Desire for power and greed, not genuine love.
but I swear that I am not like the others,
Claiming to be different from those who lack belief.
who never had belief.
Emphasizing a belief in contrast to others.
You wanted love, so I learn and I give it, give it,
Learning and giving love to meet the other person's desires.
you wanted trust, so I take and always break it,
Taking and consistently breaking trust.
you needed someone that you could believe,
Recognizing the need for someone trustworthy.
you need me, I’m your favourite disease,
Positioning oneself as a destructive influence, a favorite "disease."
you say you don’t but I know that you love it, love it, I need you like you need me.
Asserting that the other person secretly loves the destructive dynamic.
Lost all the traces, of a hope of what could be,
Abandoning hope for a meaningful connection.
I’ve been taking my time, towing the line, of your vapid fantasy,
Taking time to conform to the superficial fantasies of the other person.
it’s not of my construction, I just gave you what you need,
Providing what is needed without personal investment.
yeah you’re just like the others,
Acknowledging similarities to others but emphasizing irresistible allure.
you know that I’m trouble but you can’t resist the dream.
Recognizing the allure despite knowing it leads to trouble.
You wanted love, so I learn and I give it, give it,
Repeating the cycle of learning and giving love.
you wanted trust, so I take and always break it,
Continuing the pattern of taking and breaking trust.
you needed someone that you could believe,
Acknowledging the need for belief in someone.
you need me, I’m your favourite disease,
Reiterating the self as a destructive force, a favorite "disease."
you say you don’t but I know that you love it, love it, I need you like you need me.
Insisting on the mutual necessity despite denials.
You wanted love, so I learn and I give it, give it,
Revisiting the theme of learning and giving love.
you wanted trust, so I take and always break it,
Persisting in taking and breaking trust.
you needed someone that you could believe,
Emphasizing the importance of belief in a reliable figure.
you need me, I’m your favourite disease,
Repeating the self-as-destructive influence narrative.
you say you don’t but I know that you love it, love it, I need you like you need me, I need you like you need me, need me.
Reiterating the mutual dependency, contrary to denials.
You wanted love, so I learn and I give it, give it,
Continuing the loop of learning and giving love.
you wanted trust, so I take and always break it,
Maintaining the pattern of taking and breaking trust.
you needed someone that you could believe,
Stressing the need for someone trustworthy.
you need me, I’m your favourite disease,
Affirming the destructive role as a favorite "disease."
you say you don’t but I know that you love it, love it, I need you like you need me.
Affirming the mutual dependence despite outward denials.
