Skillet – The Thirst Is Taking Over Lyrics 17 years ago
this song makes me think of vampires.

the lines;

Hold me down, Hold me down
drip it on my tongue
and my convulsions stop
Thirst for love, thirst for your love
I could swallow your beauty whole

sound almost exactly like the process of turning a mortal into a vampire.

some of the lyrics seem to have vampirific/sexual connotations:

"i want to taste it
let me taste it"

"i want to drink you in
i am drinking you in"

"the thirst is taking over"

"i want to swallow your beauty whole"

i now know it's about a passionate love for God, though when i first heard the song, i was convinced it was about vampires and bloodlust.
still think it's a great song.

sorry if i've offended any christians.
