I knew that it was wrong I didn't have a doubt I was dying to get back home And you were starting out I said I'd best be moving on You said we have all day You smiled at me like I was young It took my breath away Your crazy fragrance all around Your secrets all in view My lost my lost was saying found My don't was saying do Let's keep it on the level When I walked away from you I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel too   They oughta give my heart a medal For letting go of you When I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel too Now I'm living in this temple Where they tell you what to do I'm old and I've had to settle On a different point of view I was fighting with temptation But I didn't want to win A man like me don't like to see Temptation caving in Your crazy fragrance all around Your secrets all in view My lost my lost was saying found My don't was saying do Let's keep it on the level When I walked away from you I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel too   They oughta give my heart a medal For letting go of you When I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel too They oughta give my heart a medal For letting go of you When I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel too

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle d’un homme qui reconnait ses erreurs et ses luttes internes. Il ressent une forte attirance vers quelqu’un, mais sait qu'il doit s’éloigner. Il évoque la tentation, à la fois attirante et destructrice, et la difficulté de faire le choix des bonnes voies. En marchant loin de cette personne, il symbolise un geste de libération, abandonnant à la fois le bien et le mal, comme s'il se libérait d'un fardeau. Dans ce contexte, on peut imaginer une histoire d'amour compliquée où les émotions s'entrelacent avec des choix moraux. C’est une réflexion sur la nature humaine et les compromis nécessaires dans la vie, entre désirs et convictions.
