Sermon on Desire
Sermon on Desire: Battling Heartbreak and Temptation
Lyrics
I can’t believe it
I am astonished or find it hard to believe.
The state of my heart makes for unappealing reading
The condition of my emotions is not pleasant to read or experience.
The livid demons await by my bedside in the morning
Angry or intense inner struggles confront me as I wake up each morning.
Calling for me to tell you that I want you, bad
There is a strong desire within me to express my longing for you.
Though I’d die for the story
Even though I would endure great suffering for the sake of the narrative or experience.
I’m one heartbreak away from never coming back
I am very close to a point where a heartbreak might make me unreachable or change me permanently.
Stand and deliver
Face the consequences and express openly.
A sermon upon the mount of sinners
A speech given on the hill where sinners gather, possibly a metaphor for addressing mistakes or regrets.
The devil slithers
The devil moves stealthily.
In and out of my mind
My thoughts are influenced by the devil, entering and leaving my consciousness.
Thoughts of you kick back
Reflections on you come back to me.
Like a heart attack
Thoughts of you hit me intensely, like a sudden heart attack.
But I can’t take you back
Despite the intense feelings, I am unable to reconcile or take you back.
The hot taste of your loving
The passionate experience of your love is too intense for my taste.
Is too sweet for my liking
The strong and passionate nature of your love is not suitable for my preferences.
The hot taste of your loving
Repetition for emphasis: Your love is too sweet for my liking.
Is too sweet for my liking
-I couldn’t keep myself together
I couldn't maintain my composure or emotional stability.
Now you’re leaving with another
You are departing from me and choosing someone else.
I guess that’s what I get
This is the consequence I face for having aspirations or desires.
For dreaming
This is the result of dreaming or having unrealistic expectations.
So much of my life
A significant portion of my life has been spent contemplating someone or another.
Spent thinking about somebody
Reflecting on the time invested in thinking about someone.
Or another
Reflecting on various individuals or experiences.
