How cruel is it that there are no comments on probably one of the best songs by Siouxsie and The Banshees and if not, one of the best on Hyena!
I think this song is about Belladonna, which I think means a beautiful woman. The first verse uses enchantments and distraction, possibly suggesting that the beauty of either Belladonna or the idea of a relationship.
However, calling her a bride of scars makes it appear that Belladonna has been through a lot and as nightfall draws on, it is revealed that Belladonna is not as pure as she seemed in the day. I'm not sure if it is Belladonna that has caused pain and decieves people by seeming innocent, or if she herself is the victim of abuse, but nobody sees it as she is so beautiful. But the theme here is deinately about abuse.
