Lust for Life
Embracing Fire and Ice: Unveiling the Depths of Lust for Life
Lyrics
From your mothers' breast to the Vatican steps
From the nurturing care of your mother to the grandeur of the Vatican
It ain't such a long way down no
The journey isn't excessively long
Absolution comes with the confession
Absolution is achieved through confession
But the priest still hangs around
Despite confession, the priest remains present
And I don't want to lose myself
Expressing a desire not to lose one's identity in conformity
In some uniform
A rejection of wearing a uniform
No I'm not gonna be reformed
Asserting a refusal to be reformed
Me oh my oh
Exclamation expressing surprise or emotion
Fire and ice
Reference to opposing forces, symbolizing life's contrasts
Jet black colors
Intense, dark colors symbolizing complexity
I've got a lust for life
Expressing a strong desire and enthusiasm for life
Over the mountains and across the sea
Describing a journey over obstacles and expanses
I'm still roaming free
Remaining free and unrestrained
From the center stage
From the spotlight to an early death
To an early grave
Suggesting a duality of being destined for both heaven and hell
I'm both hell and heaven bound
Contemplating the sky to determine if a higher power is observing
And I'm looking at the sky
Raising doubt about the sincerity or impact of spoken words
To see who's looking down
Expression of surprise or emotion
Are my words only empty sounds
Reference to opposing forces, symbolizing life's contrasts
Me oh my oh
Exclamation expressing surprise or emotion
Fire and ice
Reference to opposing forces, symbolizing life's contrasts
Jet black colors
Intense, dark colors symbolizing complexity
I've got a lust for life
Expressing a strong desire and enthusiasm for life
Just like diamond strife
Comparing the intensity of life to the conflict of diamonds
The lust
Reiteration of the intense desire for life
And I don't want to lose myself
Expressing a desire not to lose one's identity in conformity
In some uniform
A rejection of wearing a uniform
No I'm not gonna be reformed
Asserting a refusal to be reformed
No
Emphatic denial
Me oh my oh
Exclamation expressing surprise or emotion
Fire and ice
Reference to opposing forces, symbolizing life's contrasts
Jet black colors
Intense, dark colors symbolizing complexity
I've got a lust for life
Expressing a strong desire and enthusiasm for life
Like fire and ice
Reference to opposing forces, symbolizing life's contrasts
Like diamond strife
Comparing the intensity of life to the conflict of diamonds
I'm gonna roll the dice
Expressing a willingness to take risks in life
I've got a lust for life
Reiterating a strong desire and enthusiasm for life
Like fire and ice
Reference to opposing forces, symbolizing life's contrasts
I've got a lust for life
Expressing a strong desire and enthusiasm for life
Like fire and ice
Reference to opposing forces, symbolizing life's contrasts
I'm gonna roll the dice
Expressing a willingness to take risks in life
I've got a lust for life
Reiterating a strong desire and enthusiasm for life
A lust for life
