Contortionist

A little something I wrote for a friend who is going through some issues with a dear one.
The symbolism is behind the lyrics, see if you can understand it. As soon as I can get my site finished, I'll download it with the music I'm writing with it so you can listen and tell me what you think.

Contortionist

Slip into my metal box and turn it with a key.
Twist into this fatal lock there's room enough for me.

We mesh together, mind for ever. A claustrophobic joy.
In knots of love where end is never and teasing isn't coy.

(Chorus)
Contortionist, conform to us
and make us whole and make us bold.
We want to see you bend and turn.
We want to see you (break and burn.) x3

Fall into my metal box and swallow down the key.
Bang against this fatal lock 'cause you're afraid of me.

We push and pull on ends of knives and bleed each other dry.
We'll make love as our love supplies until we mesh again and cry.

(Chorus)

Kick against this metal box as you're coughing up the key.
Ask Erato to unlock the gate to set you free.

We cling together, dead forever. Blood and sweat - we drown.
The bars that we'd begun to sever always bring us down.

(Chorus)
(Tag) Break and burn. (Bend and turn.)
Break and burn. (Die and learn.)

What do you see unsurfaced behind the words?

Contortionist

This seems to me, by my interpretation, the typical episodes of a teenage life where they feel 'jailed' by the apparent rules of life that they have no power over, however, I am sure you will reveal to me the true meaning. I guess the music will be rock based?
