🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The song portrays the thrill of being drawn into a dangerous attraction where desire blurs the line between right and wrong. It reflects the temptation of choosing passion even when the cost is clear, turning love into a gamble between heaven and hell. The lyrics express surrender to that pull, embracing the risk and intensity of a forbidden connection rather than resisting it.
