The lyrics connect to the tarot \u003cem\u003eloosely\u003c\/em\u003e; in the tarot, the names of cards hardly ever represent the subject matter directly (ie. Death rarely signifies physical death) and The Lovers represents duality, partnership and important life choices rather than a strictly romantic association. Similarly, the lyrics in The Lovers point to (yet another) Reznor identity crisis, the exploration of the seduction of addiction and the relief of breaking free from it. The Lovers is hardly a love song, which is honestly nothing new from this band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSonically, The Lovers is dizzying and off-kilter, a lush soundscape of anxious energy and a jittery yet meandering tempo. I wanted to replicate the duality of The Lovers by juxtaposing a more traditional rose fragrance against modern oud and musk, with a disorienting addition of a gunpowder note. The result is a haunting and claustrophobic floral.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNote Profile:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTop: blackberry, gunpowder, spearmint, white peppercorn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMiddle: cedar, magnolia, rose, smoke, ylang ylang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBase: amber, dark musk, myrrh, oud, powder, sulfur \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smoke \u0026 Sugar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54056523759926,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/0883\/3078\/files\/4AE022F7-BFFB-4486-821F-9435C6029338.jpg?v=1780661656","url":"https:\/\/smoke-sugar-2.myshopify.com\/products\/the-lovers","provider":"Smoke \u0026 Sugar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
