When I melt in the kiss by the words and the whispers you sing me
Mercy...
And I'm frail in the kill by submission and will that you bring me
Mercy...
When I'm nothing but ego, you slap me to let go and sleep free
Now I sleep free
You're my memories
When I smell your skin you just make my whole world weep
I'm at your feet
I'm at your feet
when the grey turns to black and the wave's on my back, you make me smile
Mercy...
Is the trauma no martyr you crush into pleasure and downtown
Mercy...
It's the shining of you that just breaks me in two like a lifeline
You're my lifeline
When you burn you bleach
Everything and all I need
Is at your feet
Is at your feet
Are the licks and the lips of temptation, just tricks, not for playing?
Mercy...
Are you the camera suck, gun slut to headphone fuck holes in my being
Mercy...
Are you everything which put the sex into bitch, or just faking?
Do you fake it?
If you bond with me
I could make your whole world sweet
I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees
On my knees
On my knees
On my knees

the most beautiful song on the entire planet at this very moment. wish I had someone I really really love when I listen to it.

Here he is very infatuated and obsessed with someone. His whole world revolves around them and they complete him in every sense. There seems to be a hint of doubt with the questioning going on near the end but that doesnt seem to lessen his enthusiasm bcuz he believes they are meant for each other. He is like a lamb to the slaughter lol.

The entire song is so intense. I love the line 'It's the trauma and martyr you crush into pleasure and downtime'.

About an addiction to some kind of drug. Haunting and beautiful

awww this is such a beautiful song. everyone worship! love, infatuation, sex.

its "downtime" not "downtown"

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The meaning is obvious.

I'm not from England, and I don't know english well. Can anybody help me to understand? What's about title? Mercy is female name or there mercy it's noun like... hmmm, God's mersy, for example? sorry for my English.)
mercy is a female name but I always felt like he was asking his lover to have mercy on him. like in a way to emphasize how much he loves her, how dependable of her he is, how much power she has over him.

I think it's more saying, "You're my mercy". It's a very bittersweet. It's a mix between pain and ecstacy, a desperate kind of obsessive love so strong that it's "like a lifeline". The one he's singing to is like his prayer, thus him talking about kneeling at that person's feet. :D

To me this awesome song is about S&M, domination and submission, pain and pleasure...

This has got to be the most romantic song ever written. Chris conveys the wonderous feeling and excitement of being love with the undertone of torture it also brings.
