Barbaric

Petite Meller's song 'Barbaric' delves into the raw and primal aspects of love and desire. The lyrics paint a picture of an intense, almost animalistic attraction that defies societal norms and expectations. The repeated phrase 'We are barbaric' suggests a relationship that is untamed and driven by instinct rather than rational thought. This primal connection is emphasized by the lines 'I'm just hungry for your skin,' which evoke a sense of physical and emotional craving that is both powerful and consuming.

The song also touches on themes of separation and longing. The lines 'I've noticed something's wrong / When you're not here with me' and 'Before you shot the door / I hope you think of me' highlight the pain and emptiness felt when the object of desire is absent. This sense of loss is likened to a comet crashing into the sea, a dramatic and catastrophic event that underscores the depth of the emotional impact.

Cultural references to savagery and hunting further amplify the song's exploration of love as a primal force. The imagery of 'running like a savage / Hunting down the one you free' suggests a relentless pursuit driven by instinctual needs. This portrayal of love as a wild, untamed force challenges conventional notions of romance, presenting it instead as something raw and elemental. Through 'Barbaric,' Petite Meller invites listeners to embrace the untamed aspects of their own desires and to recognize the powerful, often uncontrollable nature of love.
