Song Meaning of “Seduction” by Alan Menken
“Seduction” by Alan Menken speaks of the powerful and magnetic feeling of being drawn to someone. It talks about how it’s so captivating and alluring so much so that you feel like you’re being seduced and can’t help but fall in love.
The song starts with the narrator making a confession–they’ve been spellbound and enchanted by the one they love. They talk about how they can’t trust themselves to make the right decisions because they can’t take their eyes off of this person. They try to warn themselves about getting too close, and yet they feel like they can’t help but be drawn to the person no matter what.
The chorus goes on to say that it’s only a matter of time before they succumb to the seduction and can no longer resist the pull of the other person. They feel captivated and find themselves helplessly surrendering to their emotions.
The song ends with the narrator repeating how it’s only a matter of time until they give into the temptation. There’s no denying that their love is strong and undeniable, and they can’t do anything to stop it.
