- Temptation LyricsA heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling inside, it?s no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I?d never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Each way I turn, I know I?ll always try
To break this circle that?s been placed around me
From time to time, I find I?ve lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Oh, you?ve got green eyes
Oh, you?ve got blue eyes
Oh, you?ve got gray eyes
Oh, you?ve got green eyes
Oh, you?ve got blue eyes
Oh, you?ve got gray eyes
And I?ve never seen anyone
Quite like you before
No, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it?s the last time, oh, it?s the last time
Oh, it?s the last time, oh, it?s the last time
Oh, it?s the last time
Oh, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before
Oh no, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before
Just like a feeling inside, it?s no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I?d never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Each way I turn, I know I?ll always try
To break this circle that?s been placed around me
From time to time, I find I?ve lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don?t let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I?ll walk alone
I?ll find my soul as I go home
Oh, you?ve got green eyes
Oh, you?ve got gray eyes
Oh, you?ve got green eyes
Oh, you?ve got blue eyes
Oh, you?ve got gray eyes
And I?ve never seen anyone
Quite like you before
No, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it?s the last time, oh, it?s the last time
Oh, it?s the last time, oh, it?s the last time
Oh, it?s the last time
Oh, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before
Oh no, I?ve never met anyone
Quite like you before

✔️

✔️
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, New Order’s 'Temptation' is a piece about a man’s inward struggle to let go of his vices that is artistically represented by the phrases ‘Up, down, turn around’ being repeated several times. The different colored eyes he speaks about are a metaphor for the person’s being one of a kind, they bring tantalizing thoughts of someone really remarkable, and at the same time the bolts coming down from above and hitting the ones below show the true hardships and no hideout in the world. The lyrics of the song to a considerable extent are associated with contemplation, love, solitude, hope and empowerment. On the contrary, the song conveys the messages of self-exploration and isolation, longing and intimacy as well as hardships and challenges. The lyrical content speaks about emotional difficulty and meditation, which could be of a less understanding level for toddlers. Though there are no overt mentions of violence, sexual acts, or drug use, the emotional aspect that the themes have and their intricacy infer that it is better for parents to be present when kids listen to the song.
