Nymphetamine Overdose

Taken from the official site and mouth of Dani Filth:

Nymphetamine

The title track concerns itself with a love affair so intense, that although soured and dead, ignites at the slightest sniff of re-invention. The first hand characterisation insinuates a drug-like addiction to the woman in question, with her insidious vampyre qualities literally bringing Her lover back from the brink of the spiritual grave, only to bury him further on the strength of a whim. This is very Edgar Allan Poe in style and leaves one thinking that, despite the character's inner agonies, he is really a welcome submissive who readily enjoys the terrible highs and lows of his relationship with this alluring and filthy, depreciative succubus. The cool thing about this song is that it is really a beast of several parts. A chimera. The main hub of the song is very lovelorn and drowsily melodic and it is these traits combined with shared female and male vocal passages that serve to highlight the plight of this, the title track of the album. However, this catchier side to C.O.F (a la 'Malice' and Babalon') is offset next to the first and last parts of the song which all come together to form a darkly erotic triptych. These two sections reveal another chorus augmented with an exceedingly creepy and menacing lead line that bursts suddenly (and frenetically) into brutal riffage along the lines of: Napalm Death and Mayhem.

Take it for what you will.

This song is beautiful...

i'm addicted to this song!!!! all three versions!!!!!!!!!!

i dont care what anyone thinks cradle of filth are the best band ever, they are great live, danis lyrics just soreing above anything that will be around for a very long time, i only hope that they keep the current line up

I personally just think that this version kicks the others ass....my friend hates overdose and loves fix, but i tend to skip the fix and just O.D. =)

The title combines "nymph" and "amphetamine", and is said to refer to an addiction to classical beauty

Nymphetamine describes the addictive Beauty that his love holds to him. The sond is explaining the expressions ans emotions that she has left onto him and that when they seperated he became wanting her more than ever..... an because he couldnt have her he finaly ended his pain by committing Suicide.......

(Two tracks Bric-a-brac Something passed between us Like a bad crack Upward-lit I'd met another kind

Of rat In fact With every Rome inside me Licked and ransacked She haunted at the corners of my mind) right here he is explaining that they did fall apart and that ever since then he has had her haunting him in his mind

(Cold was my soul Untold was the pain I faced when you left me A rose in the rain... So i swore to the razor Than never, enchained Would your dark nails of faith Be pushed through my veins again) Here he is explaining how much he wants her back and that even though they had their problems he still would rather have her there arguing then not have her at all...

(Bared on your tomb I am a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon Come above onto me? For once upon a time From the binds of your lowliness I could always find The right slot for your sacred key...) Here she is singing that even though he is gone she still wants him to come back to her and be the one that she could always make happy

(Six feet deep is the incision In my heart, that barless prison Discolours all with tunnel vision Sunsetter... Nymphetamine

Sick and weak from my condition This lust, this vampyric addiction To Her alone in full submission None better... Nymphetamine) Here he is saying that the impression that she put into him was so deep and that she is the only one that could ever please him. In this part he also explains the true meaning of Nymphetamine and that it is the addiction to true beauty and that there is nothing he wants more....

(Fold to my arms Hold their mesmeric sway And dance out to the moon As we did in those golden days) Finaly she is explaining how much she misses the old days where they were close to eachother......

That is what i get out of this song and it is pretty much explaining the Whole Nymphetamine series(Overdose and Fix) The other theories on it are good as well

[b]P.S. Nymphetamine isnt a drug[/b]

This song is so amazin, Dani nd the feamale vocalist sound great on it, nd it's not good beats etc. it's my fave COF so far!!
