Suck
Sensual Descent into Darkness: Nine Inch Nails' Captivating Suck
Lyrics
There is no god up in the sky tonight
Expressing a belief in the absence of a higher power or deity.
No sign of heaven anywhere in sight
Observing a lack of a heavenly presence or indication.
All that was true is left behind
Reflecting on truths that have been abandoned or lost.
Once I could see now I am blind
Transition from clarity to a state of blindness or confusion.
Don't want your dreams you try to sell
Rejecting the pursuit of others' dreams being offered.
This disease I give to myself
Acknowledging self-destructive behavior and its consequences.
How does it feel?
Possibly questioning or challenging emotions and experiences.
How does it feel?
-She makes it sweeter than the sun
Describing an intense and possibly destructive relationship.
I get too tight, I come undone
-I bow my head to confess
-Her temple walls are made of flesh
-Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track
Physical sensations and effects of the intense relationship.
Itches my skin right off of my back
-I'll heal your wounds
Offering to heal wounds and bring freedom, drawing a parallel with Jesus Christ on ecstasy.
I'll set you free
-I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstasy
-How does it feel?
Repeating the questioning of emotions and experiences.
How does it feel?
-I am so dirty on, on the inside
Expressing a sense of internal impurity or corruption.
I am so dirty on, on the inside
-I am so dirty on, on the inside
-I am feel so dirty, feel so dirty now
-How does it feel?
Repeating the inquiry into emotions and experiences.
How does it feel?
-Suck, suck (suck, suck)
Using the word "Suck" repeatedly, possibly conveying a sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction.
Suck, suck (suck, suck)
-A thousand lips, a thousand tongues
Describing a multitude of ways to engage in something intense or taboo, possibly suggesting a desire for unconventional experiences.
A thousand throats, a thousand lungs
-A thousand ways to make it true
-I want to do terrible things to you
