| The Sisters of Mercy – Arms Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I've wondered about this song for a long time, Finally, it hit me when I noticed the changed lyrics. It's about drugs or addiction. The word "key" through me...but I think it's a play on words, the "key" meaning kilogram and not an actual key. Quite genius, and something Mr. Eldritch does often. Also, drugs are a common theme in many of S.O.M. songs. And another interesting note: after doing nothing with the website for years, in 2009 he listed several songs under "Live News" most of them relating to drugs, including new lyrics for a song called "Far Parade." It leads me to think that maybe he (or someone close to him) was struggling with addiction. I do not know if the phrase "All senses sense away/Suzanne" is correct. I have listened to it many times and can't tell. I think he does say both at different times, but perhaps that's just wishful thinking. "Suzanne" fits with my theory better...so it is highly possible that I am hearing what I want to hear. | |
