You pull me in, skin on skin.
I try to run, you pull me back again.
‘Cause there’s no end, the circle that we’re in.
I guess I’m yours to guide.
– “Locked,” Welshly Arms
Well, yours truly is in a deeeeep mood today, so probably best to get some of this submissive energy out there so I can get some actual writing down without—um—distractions. With that in mind, allow me to share this week’s installment of Submissive Song Sunday, a sultry little number by Welshly Arms called “Locked.”
There’s something deep in the pulse of this song that moves me every time. The blend of softer, plaintive refrains with a hard-hitting chorus…a wicked guitar solo…and a singer who clearly feels every last note he’s belting out… 🥵 This one is borderline feral, folks – fair warning!
On the surface, this song delves into a toxic relationship of raw physicality from which the singer can’t escape. But—as I’m always on the lookout for that sweet, submissive, silver lining—I hear him describe the “twisted ride,” the “curse,” and the “hurt” as promises. As maxims to be attained, not avoided. There’s a craving of being locked into this relationship. A need to be pinned to the wall by it and forced to surrender. “I guess I’m yours to guide…”
I’d be curious if this one resonates with anyone else in our lovely D/s community. And, well, even if it doesn’t, you still get a great song out of it! 😉
May your week be as spectacular as you are!

One person’s toxicity is another’s tonic. Ooo, that sounded good. I better go write that down somewhere. Great post and great feel to this.

I was thinking. The purely physical relationships are the easiest to leave. At least in my case. The song is top notch, the femmine voice usually effects me the most, but this song really hits the right parts in my brain. When I think of being dominant (which I am in the bedroom) i want to give it all to my lover, I want her to be jelly that at every touch, I’m hitting different notes.

I hear you 100% on the feminine versus masculine voice being more effective for sexual headspace, but this one hits a bit different for me and I’m not quite sure why.
And yes, physicality without substance – while exciting for a while – doesn’t really get it done in the long run. True engagement is to be found in the nuance, the shared lore, the selflessness of giving everything you are to that other person…that’s where the power lies.
I think I’m going to go listen to the song again… 😂🎶 Thank you for sharing, Jake!

This song caught me off guard. I was not expecting such an immersive, sensual listening experience. I felt that he captured the intensity of the sexual frustration that comes from raw, primal desire. My body is still humming with sexual energy, my mind craving more. Thanks for the great share, Jaye! ❤ XOXO
