Ok, not sure who actually is still on here or even comes to this particular section of this website, and I couldn’t bring myself to read the rest of the comments myself to see if this had been addressed, so if it has, my apologies, if not, here we go…
First things first, Dani Filth is absolutely a lyrical genius, period. Second, this song is about so much more than just a serial rapist/murderer, even though on the surface it is easy to see why people think that. Now, that being said, when Dani was writing the album Midian, he drew inspiration from the movie Nightbreed, and the book that it was adapted from, Cabal. Now, once one has seen the movie, read the book, and listened to the album, the song’s themselves, even though as a stand-alone piece of artwork, tell a story start to finish, the other pieces of work help one to understand where they are coming from, and what he intended to convey when he wrote them.
