A sorcerer (or alchemist) studies the occult with his father to the hatred of the locals, but once the young prince goes missing and they're accused of being to blame the king kills the sorcerer's father and the survivor casts a curse against the lineage of that king so none would live longer than that murderous tyrant. Many generations later the curse stands strong and every prince and king dies mysteriously before this certain age, but the last king, obsessed with escaping this curse, finally finds the Sorcerer hidden bellow his own castle and both men die, carrying with them the century-long curse. |

| Blue Öyster Cult – Joan Crawford Lyrics

Joan Crawford was a very famous and rich actress, when she died her oldest children (both adopted and in their 40s by then) were left out of her will with the reasoning that "they know why" in Crawford's will. Shortly after that Christina Crawford released a memoire called Mommie Dearest, in which she tarnished Joan Crawford's image and that of many of her friends as being abusive to her as a child. Many people corroborated her version of the events while others claimed it was exaggerated. On BÖC's version of the events the corpse of Joan Crawford is resurrected to claim vengeance on Christina. |

I might be wrong about this one, but the song is probably about a truck driver thinking about his wife back home, the road is both the only thing keeping them together (the time apart that they need not to fight all the time and to miss each other) and the only thing that could bring them down (the obvious distance and hardships of a relationship of that kind). |

| Blue Öyster Cult – Florida Man Lyrics

|
|
The song if formed by a collection of real-life news from the infamous "Florida Man", a meme born from Florida's laws of easy public access of every police report on their website, regardless of how silly and irrelevant they are. According to the song Florida people are sillier and crazier than the average citizen due to a curse once cast from the old natives upon the Europeans who colonized the area. |

A song about small fights in a relationship, nothing too drastic, just everyday friction on a long term relationship, no blood spilled, no ashtrays thrown, no letters burned, just a small fight. |

It's a song about conspiracy theories, specially those related to aliens, abductions and such. The "I want to believe" part is a reference to The X-Files. |

@[sleevemeister:49196] I don't know if it's about Judy Garland but you're wrong about the year the album came out, it was released in 2001 and most of the song doesn't apply to her death unless we take it as veeeery loosely inspired. She died of an overdose, not stabbing, there was no other witnesses killed and I can't think of any "Emmy" related to the story. |

| Blue Öyster Cult – Celestial The Queen Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|
|
The song is clearly about a drag queen nicknamed Celeste or Celestial, the "leather and chains" are themes from BDSM and gay culture in general. The shades mentioned are heavy makeup, the narrator is "out of place", "out of his mind", he feels like that's "no place for one of his kind" and he rationalizes that "it meant nothing" to deal with his own prejudices over his romantic encounter with this "queen" that "came from the dark" and was "born into the night", since during the day Celeste was probably just a man living a "normal" life. |

| Blue Öyster Cult – Fireworks Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|

Yeah, I might be wrong about this one but sounds like the song is about a woman who's been kidnaped and tries to escape only to get caught again and abused by her captor, in the end she either tries to escape or kill herself by jumping through a window and the kidnaper realizes it's time to kill her and get rid of her body. The fireworks metaphor is either about ejaculation or a literal firearm shooting. Sorry if I ruined the song for you guys and feel free to interpret it as a happy story if you want to. Haha |
