Lust explores the journey from empty desire to true fulfillment through Jesus. The narrator starts by chasing physical pleasure and momentary satisfaction, treating lust as a way to fill a hollow inside. Nights are fleeting, love is shallow, and there’s a growing sense of emptiness.

Jesus doesn’t condemn this longing but patiently teaches a different rhythm. He transforms impulsive hunger into a slower, intentional love, showing that desire can be guided rather than destructive. The song emphasizes the contrast between lust, which takes and leaves emptiness, and God’s love, which stays, heals, and satisfies the heart in a lasting way.

It’s about learning restraint, finding meaning in connection, and trusting that fulfillment comes not from chasing, but from walking with Jesus and letting Him shape the heart’s desires. The narrative is intimate, reflective, and deeply personal, turning a struggle with temptation into a story of spiritual growth and love that endures.

I wanted heat (heat), not love (loveeeee)
A body, not a soul
I called it lust (lust), called it need (neeeeed)
But it left a hollow hole

But it left a hollow hole
But it left a hollow hole
But it left a hollow hole

I took too fast (fast), I took too much (muuuuuchhh)
Never learned to stay
Every night felt close enough (noughhhhhh)
Then slipped away

You didn’t say “don’t look”
You said “stay right here”
You didn’t kill desire
You made love appear

Lust takes, love stays
Lust takes, love stays
You taught my heart
A slower way

I used my hunger like a tool (tool tool tool)
To fill the empty space
Touch without a name or face
Fire without grace

Fire without grace
Fire without grace
Fire without grace

You slowed my hands
You slowed my breath
You stayed with me
You didn’t leave

You turned my want
Into a choice
I heard Your calm
Inside the noise

Oh yeah, inside the noise!

Lust takes, love stays
Lust takes, love stays
You taught my heart
A slower way

I don’t need to take to feel alive
You stay with me
And I’m alive

So alive!
