TONGUES Lyrics
[Intro]
You lead me astray, far
You lead me like you want, you want
[Verse 1]
Why do you haunt my skin and bone?
I’ve been torn to pieces, yet I still won’t give it up
Don’t scream, believe me
My second mode will tell me why
[Chorus]
I’m turning your tongue in two over my heart
I don’t need you to stay
But you drive your fingernails down the walls
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I won’t give it to ’em, woo
Don’t flee, take me to ’em
Lips like the fire
[Verse 2]
Your lips like the fire
Choose? Your mind slips back to conspire
So tell me why
[Chorus]
I’m turning your tongue in two over my heart?
I don’t need you to stay
But you drive your fingernails down the walls
[Post-Chorus]
You are asking me upon your sword: Will I fall?
Can’t bare to watch you make your escape and howl out, yeah
[Outro]
You lead me astray, far
You lead me like you want more, yeah
TONGUES Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The opening lines suggest a sense of being led astray, implying a loss of direction and control. The repetition of “you lead me” establishes the power dynamic in the relationship, where the speaker is being guided or manipulated by another.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, the speaker grapples with the sensation of being haunted, suggesting a deep emotional or psychological attachment. Despite the pain and feeling torn, there’s a sense of defiance in not giving up, indicating a complex struggle between attachment and the desire for freedom. The line “My second mode will tell me why” hints at an internal conflict or duality, where the speaker’s actions might not align with their true feelings.
[Chorus]
The chorus introduces a sense of control and defiance, with the speaker describing the act of “turning your tongue in two over my heart.” This could represent the hurt caused by words or actions that cut deep, but also a refusal to let go, even though the speaker claims they don’t need the other person to stay. The imagery of “fingernails down the walls” evokes a sense of desperation and torment.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus continues the theme of defiance, with the speaker refusing to “give it to ’em,” possibly rejecting external pressures or expectations. The line “Lips like the fire” evokes passion and danger, symbolizing intense emotions that threaten to consume the speaker.
[Verse 2]
This verse emphasizes the destructive power of the other person’s presence, with “lips like the fire” returning as a symbol of both allure and harm. The mention of a “mind slips back to conspire” suggests that the speaker is torn between temptation and betrayal, further adding to the tension of the relationship.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats with similar intensity, reinforcing the internal struggle and emotional toll the speaker is enduring. The desire for liberation is still present, but the grip of the toxic relationship remains strong.
[Post-Chorus]
The speaker questions their fate, wondering whether they will “fall” or be able to escape. The line “Can’t bare to watch you make your escape and howl out” evokes feelings of powerlessness and the anguish of watching the other person leave, despite the torment they’ve caused.
[Outro]
The outro repeats the opening sentiments of being led astray, bringing the song full circle. The added intensity of “you want more” hints at an insatiable desire that both traps and fuels the conflict within the speaker.
