| Placebo – My Sweet Prince Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
" We wrote 'My sweet prince' after an actual event, about one of my relationships that ended in a true tragedy. A guy the three of us were really close to nearly died. It was really hard, we were rather troubled by this. Because we had these very strong feelings in us, this song kind of came out from nowhere. From our guts. I have a strong link with this song. It refers to a relationship with a guy and a relationship with a certain substance (heroin). These two reletionships end simultaneously in horrendous circumstances. He used to call me 'My sweet ptince' " Brian Molko, Tetu Magazine 1999 I found this a couple of years ago, as I was looking for the meaning of the song... It's a french interview of Placebo ranslated into english. I printed it, but I can't remember the link... And there was a live performance I once watched, where Brian goes "So, it's really a song about heroin... We said 'too bad' and he left, during the song..." That's all I know about the meaning of "My sweet prince". This is the best song ever. |
