Swans – Red Velvet Corridor Lyrics 9 years ago
Ah yes, the opening of Swans' critically acclaimed "Soundtracks For The Blind", I would always refer this track as the splitting of the mind, slowly creeping inside your skull, that's how I feel listening to this track personally.

Swans – Red Velvet Wound Lyrics 9 years ago
I always thought this was a description of Michael Gira, from Jarboe, the way people see Swans and Michael Gira in general was a pretty negative look, considering their musical style and Michael's actions throughout his time. Probably the line that does actually give anything that would give me the thought of this interpretation is:

"So let them say
How you were wild
For what you really were was tender
Yes how you screamed
All through the night
Yet silent tears streamed down through morning light"
