mess of me, sexually

Artemas' song "mess of me, sexually" delves into the complex interplay of desire, guilt, and emotional turmoil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship where physical attraction and emotional conflict are deeply intertwined. The repeated lines, "Baby, know exactly how I like it / You know what I've got in this crisis / Go make a mess of me, sexually," highlight a sense of surrender to physical desires despite the underlying chaos and moral ambiguity. This refrain suggests a cyclical pattern of seeking solace in physical intimacy as a way to cope with emotional crises.

The verses further explore the emotional landscape of the relationship. Lines like "Run your mouth, run your mouth / Said some things that pissed me off, then shout it out" and "Always kinda knew that you would let me down" reveal a sense of betrayal and disappointment. The protagonist acknowledges the destructive nature of the relationship, yet remains entangled in it, driven by a potent mix of attraction and emotional dependency. The mention of cheating and the lack of remorse, as seen in "The way you cheatin' on your man, gon' do some damage / I should feel bad, I should feel bad, but," underscores the moral conflict and the allure of forbidden desires.

The imagery in the song is both raw and evocative, with references to drug use and intense sexual encounters, such as "Take a shot and do some blow, I fucked her like that" and "Carbon angel, fucked her halo." These lines convey a sense of hedonism and self-destruction, where the characters are caught in a cycle of pleasure and pain. The repeated use of the word "mess" in the outro encapsulates the overall theme of the song, emphasizing the chaotic and messy nature of their relationship. Artemas' candid and unfiltered portrayal of this emotional and physical entanglement invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of human desire and the consequences of our actions.
