| Scarling – We Are The Music Makers Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Reguarding the lines "We kiss like painted tigers, but we bleed like no one else,' it could be referring to a breed of parrot. As most parrots, they're very colorful and flamboyant, so that could be a reference to the "Rockstar/Artist" persona/lifestyle. Which, I think, fits with the song perfectly. There's also a breed of moth that goes by the name Painted Tiger, though I don't know enough about it to make sense of it in the song's context. I think the song as a whole is about the artistic lifestyle. The self destructive, melodramatic, hypersensetive, manically creative personality that often comes with artists of all mediums. It's the creative Opheliac, I think. (See Emilie Autumn's song (or album) Opheliac to understand the term, if you don't know what I'm referring to.) Or, though this ties in with the above interpretation, the creativity that sometimes comes with those who suffer from Bipolar Disorder/Manic Depression. Just my two cents. |
