In this song, the speaker appears to feel a mix of attraction for an unspecified person, and shame at the desire he or she feels.
The speaker regrets that they can’t return to a more innocent age – perhaps childhood, when friendship and even young love were “untainted” by sex.
This is encapsulated...
[Verse 1]
I wish I knew you
Back when we were both small
I wish I knew you
But I have gotten too tall
I wish I knew you
When touch was innocent
I wish I knew you
Before it felt like a sin
[Chorus]
Felt like a sin
Before it felt like a sin
Felt like a sin
Before it felt like a sin
[Verse 2]
There's nothing for me
Here, where the world is small
But how you touch me
For that, I'd leave it all
Back in the city
Cold eyes and lips of dust
So turn and face me
Turn to the altar of lust
[Chorus]
Felt like a sin
Before it felt like a sin
(Pray for me on your knees)
(Pray for me on your knees)
(Pray for me on your knees)
Before it felt like a sin
Felt like a sin
Before it felt like a sin
(Pray for me on your knees)
(Pray for me on your knees)
(Pray for me on your knees)
Before it felt like a sin
[Bridge]
Stay through the night
I'd spend the mornings by your side
(Pray for me on your knees)
Time slips away
(Pray for me on your knees)
(Pray for me on your knees)
Before the hillside turns to grey
[Pre-Chorus]
Pray for me, kneel with me
Soak in the crystal stream
Wash the sin from your back
Cleanse my soul, make me whole
Dance in the morning glow
Hold me, we can't go back
Before it felt like a sin
[Chorus]
Felt like a sin
Before it felt like a sin
(Pray for me on your knees)
(Pray for me on your knees)
(Pray for me on your knees)
Before it felt like a sin
Felt like a sin
Before it felt like a sin
Sinner was written by Abigail Morris & Georgia Davies & Aurora Nishevci & Lizzie Mayland & Emily Roberts (Guitarist).
Sinner was produced by James Ellis Ford.
The Last Dinner Party released Sinner on Fri Jun 30 2023.
Lizzie Mayland:
‘Sinner’ is a story of self-acceptance, and the longing for the past and present self to become one. Born from a breakbeat drum sample, ‘Sinner’ is punctuated by ripping guitar lines and harmony-filled vocal breakdowns.
