Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light! Your heart in my hand Your blood on my skin You look at my face But you don't see me The hands tight on the throat The nails deep in the flesh I whisper into your ear But you don't hear me Do you hear the angels sing? Do you feel the tender wings? Was it worth waiting for? Do you feel the warmth coming? Did you climb the mountain? Do you see the white light? Do you hear the angels sing? Do you hear the harps resound? Was it worth suffering for? Do you feel the warmth coming? Did you climb the mountain? Don't you see the heavens? Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light! Your breath in my hand Your scream in my skin I hold you tight to me But I don't feel you Your pain in my mouth My sweat in your hair The fear in your gaze Finally you know me Do you hear the angels sing? Do you feel the tender wings? Was it worth waiting for? Do you feel the warmth coming? Did you climb the mountain? Do you see the white light? Do you hear the angels sing? Do you hear the harps resound? Was it worth suffering for? Do you feel the warmth coming? Did you climb the mountain? Don't you see the heavens? Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light for me Feed the white light! As found on lyricstranslate.com Face value, it seems to be about strangling someone to death, but there is a distinct lack of hostility in the tone of the chorus. In the whole song, actually, it's more calm than aggressive, so maybe it's a mercy killing? Or maybe just a completely apathetic killer. On another level, some of the lines, "You look at my face, but don't see me. The nails deep in the flesh. I whisper in your ear, but you don't hear me. Your scream in my skin. I hold you tight to me, but I don't feel you. My sweat in your hair. Finally you know me." Those lines hint pretty hard to sex and orgasm. Add in the rest of the lines, and I guess it's rough sex, but again, the delivery of the song is calm and strikes me as a little loving. Add in the concept of Le Petit Mort (the little death) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_petite_mort and you've got a very interesting perspective on sex, I think. |
