| IAMX – Bernadette Lyrics | 2 years ago |

I have two options for what i think this song is about: 1. Bernadette was the lover of the singer, who passed away most likely due to war (Fortunes won by the boys with the guns) and the singer either imagines she is still with him, or is truly back as a ghost, but she can't remember who he is or anything they went through (Memories bring no joy or peace/Family and friends becoming ghosts to dream of and pass on, time will erase every face, every name) He tries to get her to remember everything they went through (But you have answers, and I have the key for the door to Bernadette) but its no use, and by the end he comes to accept that she is truly gone, and lets himself move on (Bernadette, you are my liberty. I celebrate the day that you changed my history) 2. The singer is obsessively in love with a woman, Bernadette, who he kidnaps and keeps to himself (You and me in our playhouse, living in a veil. We never need to go without, memories bring no joy or peace We are alone and all we need) hoping she'll forget all her friends, family, and her life before him (Family and friends becoming ghosts to dream of and pass on, time will erase every face, every name. We are alone) Inevitably his love of her is fruitless, as he is caught and imprisoned (I celebrate the day that you changed my history of life and death) Makes sense or? |
