The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Cure" by the artist "Tristania"

The lyrics of the song "Cure" by the Norwegian band Tristania tell a story of complete loss of oneself in a relationship, of dissolving into another person, of transitioning into a state of submission. The lyrical hero, entangled in the "web" of the beloved, finds himself/herself completely absorbed by them.

"Your victim has died – Painted in silence" – these lines speak of the death of the hero's personality, individuality, and voice. Silence becomes a metaphor for voicelessness and submissiveness. "I will stay with you forever, Kneeling at your feet" – confirms absolute submission, a willingness to dissolve into the other.

The repetition of the phrase "In your world – there is only you, In my world – there is only you", emphasizes the totality of absorption. The hero no longer sees himself/herself separately, his/her world has narrowed down to one person.

The image of blood ("My blood runs slow and red as wine") symbolizes the loss of vitality, a slow fading away. The phrase "The past is destroyed – forever" indicates the impossibility of returning to one's former life, to oneself.

In the final lines "I serve your desire", "your lover I am appointed to be", the hero's status as an object devoid of its own will, existing solely to satisfy the desires of another, is finally confirmed.
