| Lady GaGa – Poker Face Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| The song is about her bisexuality, when she'd screw a dude but really be thinking about a girl while she was doing it. Hence the name "Poker Face" since she's not really thinking about the men and doesn't have any real feelings for them. | |
| Chelsea Wolfe – Color of Blood Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
"The lyrics of 'Color of Blood' were inspired by an interview I saw with Stevie Nicks where she says that she sacrificed starting a family for her music career, but I wasn’t attempting to write from her perspective, just exploring what that might be like to look back at." - Chelsea Wolfe in an interview with CVLT Nation. |

| Chelsea Wolfe – The Warden Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
"The song ‘The Warden’ ended up being like an alternate ending to 1984 because I found it so frustrating that after this whole struggle and this love story that he gave up the name of his love when he was being tortured. I wrote about the other end of that, a more idealistic ending where he fought till the death to save the one he loves." - Chelsea Wolfe in an interview with The Quietus. |

| Chelsea Wolfe – They'll Clap When You're Gone Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
"I can feel the walls closing in and I don’t want to talk anymore" Here she sings of shutting down. "Wish I could quietly slip away and leave you here with no void. The only reason I stay is to care for you" She wants to liberate and free herself from her suffering by committing suicide, but she avoids doing so since she feels compelled to nurture those close to her. She realizes that killing herself and leaving her loved ones who need her behind would only serve to worsen their state. "Everything else in me has atrophied and I am cold and painless now I want to live but i feel nothing when can I die, when can I go" Again, she's so numb and depressed that she wants to kill herself. tl;dr: The song is about wanting to off yourself, but not attempting since you feel bound to care for your loved ones and know that killing yourself will break their hearts and aggravate their issues. |

| Chelsea Wolfe – Ancestors, the Ancients Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
The song is an exploration of ancestry. "...It’s kind of interesting to think about the mythology of our ancestors and wondering if it still kind of lingers in us somewhere—something that exists through the bloodline of a family. There’s one song that’s more specifically about it: the one that’s called 'Ancestors, the Ancients.' It’s just something that’s been on my mind." - Chelsea Wolfe in an interview with The Fader |

| Chelsea Wolfe – Scrape Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
"Basically, my great-grandfather was a pedophile and fucked up every woman in my family. I don't always feel that it's my story to tell, because it was an older generation of women who had the worst of it." - Chelsea Wolfe in an interview with Revolver. "Part of what gives Wolfe her mystique is her intensely private nature. She keeps personal matters close to the vest, although in a recent Revolver interview she opened up about a patriarchal family figure with disturbing sexual predilections who harmed the female side of her family. Thus what she rails about in album closer 'Scrape' clearly comes from an intensely personal place." - Taken from an interview off of Billboard Magazine's site. So yeah. If it the lyrics weren't clear enough for you, the song is obviously about childhood sexual abuse. |

| The Birthday Massacre – Cover My Eyes Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
The song seems like a dramatic take on losing something important, possibly a lover, possibly childhood, possibly innocence. Taking the two of the latter into consideration, I could see this being a bitter coming of age song. To me, the song always seemed to be about how when people reach that weird realization after they reach a certain point of being 18-23, where they realize how different their life is going to be and how much more responsibility they have to take on and the hardships that they're going to go through as they wisen up to the ways of the adult world. I think I can recall them saying in an older interview that the topic of childhood, the leaving behind of it and the revisiting of it, are both common topics of their music. If I were to take the lyrics literally I could see the song being about abduction, though I don't care much for that interpretation. Hate to be one of those people but since other commenters have pointed it out on youtube, the song really reminds me (and many others) of Lacie from Pandora Hearts. Though it's probably not about her since I doubt they have read that series. |
