Cure, The - Torture Lyrics






I'm in the room without a light
The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And pulls some more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless again

My body is cut and broken
It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight screams
And screams and screams
And screams some more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this hanging on your back
Oh it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there

It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there

Cure, The Torture Comments
  1. C.... E....

    Esta música é de 1993. Quando
    Comparamos às dos Doors ,
    Percebemos que há uma diferença
    Ou intervalo de 20 anos ! E embora
    Fale de tortura , tem um ritmo
    Frenético...

  2. l.... ....

    Soda stereo

    l.... ....

    Si tiene el sonido de Soda y tambien de Caifanes

  3. M.... N....

  4. 7.... U....

    For sum unknown reason this song invokes a hidden level background music to the first Sega Genesis game Sonic the hedgehog lol it really does

  5. l.... m....

    Couldn't stop playing this album when it came out

  6. C.... E....

    A tortura só te persegue porque erras. Para Krishna ,
    quantas vezes a mente se desviar , devemos trazê-la
    de volta e tentar novamente. E Buda aconselha a
    transitarmos fora do centro , mas não nos distanciarmos
    muito dele , e retornar a ele.

  8. g.... ....

    This is one of the cures best songs - never was sure why they don't seem to play it live

  9. L.... Q....

    Soy fanático de the cure, genios

  10. A.... R....

    that atmosphere is perfect

  11. L.... ....

    A certain defining moment

  12. T.... g....

    I have done molly to this song. Total magic. ....very underrated Cure song

    T.... g....

    I have had many empathogenic evenings to the Faith album myself. Mushrooms made me realize how grey all these cats really are.

  13. J.... P....

    this is their best album, no question

    J.... P....

    totally agree. While I love all their albums and think Disintegration is their masterpiece, I think this is just the best album over all. It covers just about every vibe and emotion music can offer.

    J.... P....

    agree. its the cure album i listen to most, followed by head on the door.

    J.... P....

    @T gnomechaser I can feel that. I have always been a fan of the fife-y riffs on some of the tracks on The Top and Kiss Me x3 that seemed not to move forward with the direction going into disintegration. I love that album, but I miss me some pan flute here and there!

  14. K.... '....

    Killer bass line. Amazing little grasshopper.

  15. A.... ....

    My kinda vibe right here... Robert Smith, you genius.

  16. G.... m....

    Boris is the true drummer of this band 80s era

    G.... m....

    True though Andy Anderson was amazing for the very brief time he was in.

  17. n.... ....

    Riding a horse in the middle eastern desert. That's what I always envisioned when I hear this song

  18. M.... D....

    So awkward I love it lit......

    I'm in the room without a light
    A room without a view
    I'm here for one more treatcherous night
    Another night with you

    It tortures me to move my hands
    To try to move at all
    And pulled
    My skin so tight it screams
    And screams and screams
    And pulls some more

    Hanging like this
    Like a vampire bat
    Hanging like this
    Hanging on your back
    I'm helpless again
    Oh, I'm helpless again

    My body is cut and broken
    It's shattered and sore
    My body is cut wide open
    I can't stand anymore

    It tortures me to move my hands
    To try to move at all
    And pulled
    My skin so tight it screams
    And screams and screams
    And screams some more

    Hanging like this
    Like a vampire bat
    Hanging like this
    Hanging on your back

    Oh, it's torture
    And I'm almost there
    It's torture, oh
    And I'm almost there

    It's torture, oh, ho-ho
    It's torture, oh, ho-ho
    It's torture, oh, ho-ho
    It's torture, oh, ho-ho
    But I'm almost there

    S.... B....

  26. t.... g....

    GÖTTLICH

  27. J.... M....

    Perfect song

  28. T.... E....

    My type of basss

  29. C.... G....

    I enjoy the ricochet from the song hanging like a vampire hovering over

  30. S.... G....

    This song is awesome when driving drunk in a back road at night and rolling your car over and the song still playing on the MP3 radio, that was the best time ever in my life.

  31. D.... ....

    Why use cold play the same riddle?

  32. l.... ....

    guido bro

  33. j.... g....

    Simon Gallup on the bass.Good job man

  34. K.... ....

    As a trumpet player, I like this song because of the horns section. Although, I don't know if it's a synth or real instrument.

    K.... ....

    i think its the bass man

  35. 1.... A....

    Excuse me,, i remember Led Zeppelin,,

    1.... A....

    What song???

    1.... A....

    the quality of this music.. simply

  36. C.... M....

    It just keeps getting better and better, never getting older but newer.

  37. j.... h....

    yeah simon is a beast on the bass. when it comes to a synthy effects style he is a must to listen to. so creative i would recommend him regardless the style. i would recommend this band. from the b sides of staring at the sea on the cassette like throw your foot away, a thousand hours, exploding boy. songs that were not on the cd obviously. the cure is AWESOME every disk. then comes BLOODLOWERS. amazing....that robert made the best album after so many years of success. i love all the stuff. but bloodflowers. its like philosophical.

  38. J.... B....

    love the bass on torture and like cockatoos!! 💮

  39. b.... ....

    Could have done without the horns though

    b.... ....

    Es te cure

  40. b.... ....

    Love the darker heavier side of the band!

  41. F.... R....

    l was gonna talk about how great the song is but l'm way too late!

  42. c.... e....

    what is this song about?

    c.... e....

    carlos enrique diaz mayorga Kinda self-explanatory in the lyrics. Poor Bob enduring extreme torture.

  43. S.... J....

    One of their best rocksongs. Like Disintegration. Unfortunately they don't perform Torture live.

  44. R.... K....

    Rickenbacker I presume... The King of basses if you ask me

    R.... K....

    im pretty sure that for this record, he used musicman stingray!

    R.... K....

    @Gabriel Barajas pretty sure it's his stingray. It was a Stingray on Fascination Street and this has that same jangly, growling tone.

  45. p.... ....

    You're a mighty bass player, Simon

  46. E.... L....

    That basssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

    E.... L....

    the only reason i can bear this song as a bassist. Well i mean musically it's fine but i never could bear the lyrics. Even if i have to suppose RS is sorta poking fun at his image.

  47. A.... W....

    How is this song not more well-known?

    A.... W....

    Turn on your pathetic social media and TV News

  48. P.... B....

    Great bass line

    P.... B....

    As usual.

    P.... B....

    Simon Gallup god of bass

    P.... B....

    This one really stands out

    P.... B....

    Simon always play like God

  49. F.... R....

    I love the keyboards near the end: "It's torture... but I'm almost there!"

    If only they could last longer!

  50. k.... ....

    My favourite song from the album

    k.... ....

    @kornilicious me to

    k.... ....

    AGREE. POWERFUL AND MESMERISING

  51. L.... H....

    Yeah, this is the one!  Heavy, edgy and definitely dark.   This song and "Burn" are absolutely glorious! 

    L.... H....

    And Disintegration. Best Cure Rocksong.

    L.... H....

    Sven Jachmann Agree!!!

    L.... H....

    Sven Jachmann The Kiss, One Hundred Years, Open and From The Edge Of The Green Sea are better then Torure.

    L.... H....

    You not a fan of the "dark years" 17sec-Faith-Pornography trilogy? They are definitely dark. Maybe not anywhere as heavy though. Cold is pretty heavy I would say, though.

    L.... H....

    This is not dark at all. It's at its clearest light peek
