Sistinas Lyrics

Take my hand
You'll never find
Another quite like mine
If you look
You'll see that I'm
A lonely one
I lost my soul
Deep inside

Oh And it's so
Black and cold
Deep inside

Sistine smile
You'll never know
The trap it's set
And if you did
You'd never look
Into its eyes again

Lost my soul
Deep inside
Oh and it's so
Black and cold
Deep inside

And the sun don't shine
The wind won't blow
When you go hide
And without your love
I'm lonely
Deep inside

Take my hand
You'll, never find
Another quite like it
And If you did
You'll see that I'm
A lonely one
I lost my soul
Deep inside
Oh And it's so
Black And cold deep inside

And the sun don't shine
The wind won't blow
When you go hide
And without your love
I'm lonely
Deep inside

Cover art for Sistinas lyrics by Danzig

Actually, the song is a play on Michelangelo's painting on the cieling of the Sistine Chapel (or Capella Sistina in Italian). In a famous part of the painting, two lovers are reaching out to each other, their index fingers almost touching. The song is about a love that could never come into fruition, recalling the hands of Capella Sistina that could never quite reach each other, leaving the lovers frozen in longing. So yeah, unrequited love, basically.

Wrong. There is no painting of two lovers reaching out to each other. It is God and Adam. Yes, the song is probably about unrequited love, but there is no such painting you are talking about in the Sistine Chapel.

Some parts of this song he sounds like Elvis. Now that's something :P

Elvis? If anything this sounds like a sad Roy Orbison song to me.

interesting idea jackalopehellrider! However the Sistine Chapel Ceiling does not have two "lovers" almost touching fingers, it is the hand of God giving Adam life. I believe the word sistine is suppose to take on a meaning such as pristine in the song. I agree with everything you said regaurding unrequited love being the focus of the song.

no comments? come on this is one of the greatest Danzig songs... god that voice just gives me chills

its a love song, of course someone wil say this is about drugs tho, but theyll be a nigger

I think it's about religion, not love. As to how it pertains to religion, I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Oh my god! This song is about DRUGS! Personally I like the live version on Thrall:Demonsweat Live.

But what exactly is a Sistine Smile?

looking up the word sistine just revealed that it has to do with pope Sixtus, which isnt really helpful in this context

Cover art for Sistinas lyrics by Danzig

i think its about a lonley guy(Yea, without your love I'm lonely deep inside). he found a girl and is telling her that he is nothing without her and how she moves him (Sistine Smile) like something from god. i dont think the drug thing has any weight cause danzig was never about drugs or other petty things. i really like danzig and this song is one of the best.
