After listening to the song several times, I worked at trying to untangle all the beautiful metaphors in the song. Here are some possible interpretations: Overall, the song is about the emotional turmoil of an illicit relationship. The lyrics describe forbidden desire and the struggle between temptation and moral responsibility. The singer refers to keeping a picture of the person they are forbidden to be with in a locket, a secret symbol of their relationship. The line "heating up by six degrees" is a metaphor that represents both the physical warmth of the locket close to the body and the rise in body temperature associated with sexual arousal and the sexual act itself. "A flicker for my weakness" / "Just to feed my enemies" are more enigmatic lines. Perhaps they describe the vulnerability or soft spot for the person they're involved with, or the temptation that exposes their weakness to become involved in a potentially very damaging relationship. "My enemies" could be external, but is more likely a reference to the singer's internal enemies of guilt, conflict, self-reproach, or weakness itself. The line "How high's the cost if I betray you?" reveals the precarious position the singer is in. They are not the person committing infidelity, but they are complicit in it, and thus, they hold the power to betray the person they are involved with. They try to be satisfied with the current state of the physically intimate relationship, "Try to force my heart to be grateful." They acknowledg that this illicit relationship is not destined to replace the existing relationship of their partner, "there's no place for fate here, darling." The chorus encapsulates the allure, the fear of discovery, and the desire for absolution. "Come to me like they just caught us" is about visiting in ernest, reflecting the thrill and risk of their secret relationship. It also suggests a wish that, were they to be caught, the person cheating would replace their partner with the singer, not end the affair. "Cover me like holy water" could have any number of interpretations. "Cover me" suggests being physically enveloped. "Like holy water" suggests a desire to sanctify their relationship, despite its forbidden nature. It could also be seen as a plea for protection or absolution, or even just a metaphorical expression of deep intimacy. Ultimately, it's about addiction to an affair and the internal struggles of being in a relationship they know is wrong, but wish could be sanctified or redeemed.
I keep you in a locket A picture and a secret Heating up by six degrees You're deeper than my pocket A flicker for my weakness Just to feed my enemies I'd be lost if I could repay you How high's the cost if I betray you? Try to force my heart to be grateful But there's no place for fate here, darlin' You're too much temptation All eyes on me Come to me like they just caught us Too much temptation Baby, let it be Cover mе like holy water Soliloquies and gossip Dеstroy it if we speak it Echo from the mezzanine You're deeper than my pocket A flicker for my weakness Just to feed my enemies I'd be lost if I could repay you How high's the cost if I betray you? Try to force my heart to be grateful But there's no place for fate here, darlin' You're too much temptation All eyes on me Come to me like they just caught us Too much temptation Baby, let it be Cover me like holy water You're too much temptation All eyes on me Come to me like they just caught us Too much temptation Baby, let it be Cover me like holy water You're too much temptation All eyes on me Come to me like they just caught us Too much temptation Baby, let it be Cover me like holy water
