Death to Death Lyrics
Wide-eyed, grinning in the darkened room
Sipping cactus brandy from a china spoon
Coming in the morning in the afternoon, forgetting
So tired waiting for the end to come
Fully dead already but forever young
Hello, my dearest father
It's your favourite son
There's some things that I'm regretting
I am destroyer
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
I love one thing destroy the other
I am destroyer
I am lover
A gypsy told my fortune then I told her hers
I said: "You'll die high in the moutains wrapped in silver furs
You'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun
And you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun"
I have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone
And nobody was listening so I wrote this song
And when you know the chorus you can sing along
You destroy the thing you love
Even though you know it's wrong
I am destroyer
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
Why love one thing and not the other?
I am destroyer
I am lover
And when I kiss I like to smother
I am destroyer I am lover
Sipping cactus brandy from a china spoon
Coming in the morning in the afternoon, forgetting
So tired waiting for the end to come
Fully dead already but forever young
Hello, my dearest father
It's your favourite son
There's some things that I'm regretting
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
I love one thing destroy the other
I am destroyer
I am lover
I said: "You'll die high in the moutains wrapped in silver furs
You'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun
And you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun"
I have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone
And nobody was listening so I wrote this song
And when you know the chorus you can sing along
You destroy the thing you love
Even though you know it's wrong
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
Why love one thing and not the other?
I am destroyer
I am lover
And when I kiss I like to smother
I am destroyer I am lover

a gypsy told my fortune then i told her hers i said: "you'll die high in the mountains wrapped in silver furs you'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun and you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun" i have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone and nobody was listening so i wrote this song and when you know the chorus you can sing along you destroy the thing you love even though you know it's wrong
lovely! but what, exactly, is cactus brandy?
love destroys us. in a good and bad way.
i think its about a father who loves one child more than the other. "Hello, my dearest father, It's your favourite son" the father favours one of them and it "destroys" the other one. or maybe he doesn't love one of his kids at all "Why love one thing and not the other?".
oh and Cactus Brandy is made up: "Like cactus brandy, I'm not even sure it exists, it just sounded like something a vampire would drink." - Torq. I'm not sure what that vampire reference had to do with anything, but i guess its just the imagery that he wanted to create.
i just always felt like this song was about a family, and thats all.
Cactus brandy... The closest thing that comes to mind is maybe tequila, a liquour derived from the agave plant. A lot of people think mistakenly think it's a kind of cacti.

It's a cool song. Though it could have been a better fit for ther "Set Yourself on Fire" album.

Actually, I think the vampire thing makes sense. "Fully dead already but forever young" Is a pretty good description of a vampire. Also the line before that, "So tired waiting for the end to come," could be the perspective of a vampire.. since he's/she's immortal and all. "And when I kiss I like to smother".. maybe a "vampire's kiss?" =D I'm not so sure if the 2nd verse is even related to the first, but somehow with the mention of vampires this song makes a little sense, lol.
lol it actually does! :) "wide eyed grinning in a darkened room" could kind of relate to a vampire. and vampires are also very romantic (they lure women in with their eyes, and have a 'kiss of death') so i could definitely see Stars writing a song about this. i have no idea how a vampire could relate to my family idea unless they are using the vampire metaphorically such as the father is sucking the life out of his son by loving the other one more... lol idk!
This is a great song, and I agree with the vampire idea, it fits. My only problem with the song is "And nobody was listening so I wrote this song/And when you know the chorus you can sing along."
